THE QUEEN CONSORT’S KINDNESS.
Here is a charming anecdote, says a London paper, relating to the Princess of Wales which fully illustrates Her Royal Highness’s kind and sympathetic nature. The Princess, while at Sandringham a short time ago, was out walking one day when she met a very old woman staggering under a heavy load. It appeared that the old dame earned a livelihood by doing errands for the country people near Sandringham, and it so happened that on this particular occasion she had an extra batch of commissions to carry out. Her Royal Highness stopped the old woman, and after asking her where she lived, and making one or two other kind inquiries, bade her adieu, Next day the old lady was astonished at the sight of a donkey and cart, which was left at her door with a card, explaining that they were presented to her by the Princess of Wales.
