WOMAN'S WORLD
— 9 — (Continued from 'Page 2) A Royal Tragedy. Of individual tragedies connected with tho war there is 110110 so pathetic as the life Princess Pless is enduring at present, writes an English correspondent. She always has been very fond of her English family and England, out of which she lias never been really happy. She is shut up in Germany, doing her duty towards the wounded as best she can, and 110 better than a prisoner, watched day and night by spies. All her letters are opened, those she receives as well as those she dispatches, and tlio sick she tends, and even her own household, look upon her with a certain suspicion. Again and again she has wished to bo dead. She and the Kaiser never did hit it off., because of her intense love for England, a,nd her capacity for going over every time the spirit moved her. • "You belong to the Fatherland now you have married one of us," he would say to her, and her reply was, "No, no, I am English where I'm not Irish." The princess is a sister-in-law of Lady Randolph Churchill, Mr. George West, Lady Randolph's late husband, being her brother.
