THE PRINCESS AND THE STAGE.
There are few people outside professional circles who havo a , better knowledge of theatrical affairs than the Princess of Wales, says a writer, in "M.A.P." Such is her knowledge in that direction that King Edward often alludes to her as "our musical and dramatic critic." When in London her Royal Highness invariably attends a theatre in the evenings, when other engagements, of courso, permit. She is an inveterate first-nighter, arid London theatrical managers, when they have a production ot more . than average importance, invariably make it a practice of inquiring at Marlborough House whether the Princess proposes to occupy the Koyal box or not. It is largely upon her account of the piece that other members of tho Boyal Family decide whether to visit a oertain' play or not. This is particularly the case with tho King and Queen.
Mrs. Blunder had just reoeived a telegram from India. "What an admirable invention the telegram, is," sho exclaimed, ■ "when you comi to - consider that this message has come a distance of thousands of miles and the gum on the envelope isn't dry yet."
