:\u2014\u2018\u2018The Duchess of Edinburgh is not comfortably placed iu her husband\u2019s tsmiiy, and do s not get on with her Royal slsters-in-law, save with Louise, who U also in a false posit on.When the Duke of Elinburgh waa in England last, alone, while his wife and children were in Buisia, he and Louise went about together perpetually, and probably often com pared notes on the hardness of their lot.The one memoerof the Royal family with whom the Grand Duchess gets on worst is eaid to be Beatrice.These two, says rumor, h£te each other with that lively intensity of de-teatation which generally exists between sisters-iu-law, the chief cause of hatred being the old trouble of the question of precedence.It is also said that the Queen is desirous that Beatrice should marry tbe Marquis of Staf ford, grandson of Her Majesty\u2019s warmly attached old friend, the dead Duchess of Sutherland.One day, not long ago, tbe Mar-quia, being in company with a lot of his triends, was asked by one of them when he was going to many that fair Princess.\u2018Never,\u2019 he answered haughtUy, *1 don\u2019t choose to walk behind my wife as my cousin Lorne does.\u2019 Such is the tale the gossips tell.If it >\u2022 not true, it is well told, for H is a fact that in State processions Louise is generally paired off with some ptincaliog, sacb as one of her brothers or brothers-iu-law, and poor Lorne follows miles behind, perhaps with a lady of honor.And yet iu every respect, the question of descent inclod-ed, he is, save for rankiog neither as Royal nor Seieue Highness, immeasurably the superior of every one of bis brotpers-in-law, especially of Christian.Lord Lome\u2019s grandmother.tbe dead Duchess of Sutherland, already meotioned, was so beautiful and regal looking that, when she and the Queen used, in yeaia past, to appear together in public, people said the Duchess always looked as if she should have been the Queen.The house oi Brunswick may have been illustrious\u2014at
