Royal Consideration.
Seldom is it that " stories " about the Princess of Wales are circulated, but a recent issue of the Whitehall Review recalls one of an incident that occurred a few years Ago that is worth repeating, as giving an insight into the practical kindliness of her truly royal heart. An Austrian General, visiting at Sandringham, while saying " good night " to his royal host, chanced to stumble, and sprained his ankle se that for several days he was confined to his bed. Not only did the Prince call irequently to inquire after his condition, but the- Princess also came every day, and read aloud to him at his bedside, to divert his mind from the pain he was suffering. " I know of none of my own famiy, except my mother, who would have done the^same for me/ the General always adds, with a grateful tremour m his voice, when he relates the story.
