A Popular Betrothal

The announcement of the engagement of Princess Margaret of Connaught to Prince Gustavus of Sweden seems to have given universal satisfaction. The father of the bride-elect has always been one of the most popular members of the Royal family, and the bride herself is an almost ideal Bnglish girl with her love of games and sweet gracious matter. Without being strictly handsome she is decidedly good-looking; her sister Prines "Pat" i the beauty of thie branch of the family; in fact I think she is quite the prettiest of all the Royal princesses. It is thought that the wodding will take place during the Autumn, and that, for atime at least, the young couple will reside in England.
