DON'T BE SHY.

Daring the stay of the Grown Prioca laßt year m Eagland with the Crown Princess, tho latier met one of her old nurses at Windsor, who, when asked if she had any message for her married eiater at Berlin, replied that she would be grateful if the Princess would inform the slater that she would send her little girl across to Berlin as soon as Bhe found a convenient opportunity On asking for an explanation, the Princess discovered that the child, who was five years old, had been invited by her aunt In Berlin married to a doctor there—to stay with her. Her Imperial Highness immediately offered to take charge of the little girl, and after having put a stop to her old nurse's hesitation about accepting such a favor, made all necessary arrangements. On tho day of tbedep 9 are, the ohild, a brgh pretty, and merry little soul, was brought to Buckingham Palace; aud entrusted to the Princess on whose lap Bhe travelled moßt of the way from London to Berlin, artlessly prattling and keeping up a running fire of conversation. Qn the boat, wbile talklDg m the cabin, there was a sudden pause m the conversation. The little girl looked for a moment Inquiringly from the Grown Prince to the Crown Princess, and at length exclaimed : "Don't be ahy Royal Highness ; aak me anything you want to know." Of coarse a shout of laughter was the result, and whenever the young Princesses want now fro raise a laugh they implore their parents "not tobeehy."
