HERE are only two persons in the world who know just when began the royal ro- mance which brings about the wedding one week from to-mor- row of Princess Mary, the daughter commoner, in Westminster Abbey, where for centuries have been the most imposing state ceremonials of the British Crown. Mary and the distinguished English gentleman, soldier, diplomat and sportsman, who is to marry her. But every one in the world who has ever had a romance will know just how it began, for the way of a man with a maid has never varied since Creation, even if Agur, the son of Jakeh, couldn't understand it and was frank to confess it in the Book of Proverbs, Of one thing, however, even the most misanthropic of persons may rest assured: It is a love match, no less, that is bringing about this wed- ding in the Royal House of Windsor. If King George and Queen Mary were not convinced of this there never would have been issued from Buck- ingham Palace on the evening of Nov. 22 lust this state declaration, affect- tlonate and sincere for all its formal- ity of wordin; “Tt is with the greatest pleasure that the King and Queen an- nounce the betrothal of their be- loved daughter, Princess Mary, to Viscount Lascelles, D, 8.

In such matters consideration for the prospective bride entered, of course, Several Princes would be sub- mitted, as it were, to her for a choice, It was not to be expected that a love affair, as the world understands it, would result from a first meeting. But love would surely come afterward. So, in the process of seeking # royal husband for Princess Mary the Princes were gone over, one by one. ‘There came the Grand Duke Adolf of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, who, for a time, was a favorite at Buckingham. ‘There | was at the same time another of his | blood in the fleld, the Prince Sigis- | mund, son of Prince Henry of Prussia. |The Crown Prince George of Greece was a third suitor and others were the Prince Alexander of Serlvia, afte: King of Jugo- Slavia; the Crown Prince of Sweden and the Grand Duke Boris of Russia, cro at one time and another! d to the Princess Mary and! | AND THE SCENE OF NEXT WEEK'S MARRIAGE. THE CEREMONY WILL TAKE-PLACE ON THE PLATFORM SHOWN IN THE LARGE all, for one reason or another, mainly the war—passed on. There wasn't much romance to this sort of thing, to be sure, but at that time Princess Mary had not even met her Viscount. HER FIRST MEETING WITH THE MAN SHE CHOSE. It was at a dinner party during the war that the Princess met Viscount Lascelles. He was at home then on leave from the front, where he had distinguished himself with his Gren- adier Guards battalion, and returned with wounds and the Distinguished Service Order to attest his hazards. He had long been a member of that inner c:rcle of society in London in which the royal family moves as pri- vute English ladies and gentlemen. These movements are never chron- icled in the ‘‘Court Circular.” Their only evidence is a dark, crimson mo- tor car, bearing, fo number, drawa up before the lighted doorway of some mansion in Belgravia or Mayfair. What the Princess and Lord Las- celles found that evening, each in the other, potential enough to bring them lent bridge and was a fairish dancer, Of course in the eyes of the Eni lish law he was a commoner, his title of Viscount being one of courtesy. and at that time was destined to remain a commoner until the death of his father, the fifth Earl of Hare- wood, a rich nobleman of Yorkshire. Then he would come into the title and inherit the vast Harewood estates, become a peer of the realm and enjoy or endure a seat in the House ef Lords, ‘They had much in common for con- versation.

Also there was the war, to which Princess Mary gave so much of her time and enthusiasm, working often from morning till night and at no light tasks, either. There is a wide space between the son of an Earl and the daughter of the reigning Monarch, a space that 1s usually only bridged over with a hand’ held out to be kissed, with a smile and a few courteous but quite impersonal “INTERIOR WESTMINSTER ASBEVY = RAND &.PHOTO D HER COMMONER BRIDEGROOM bey altar, is a subject past prying. At any rate, what he saw was a Princess just past her teens, with a face charming in its healthy, English coloring, its blue eyes and white teeth and its frame of soft, light brown hair. He saw her smile and the win- some graciousness of her manner, He must have recognized her for one who much preferred the freedom of windy downs, in either sun or mist, to the illuminated, formal imprisonment of a palace. WHAT SHE SAW IN THE MAN SHE MET. What she saw was a tall, slender man, quite the guardsman—called a type, you know, in London—even to the longish, well kept mustache; man fifteen years her senior who would have dreaded the least impli- cation that he was a “ladies’ man. What she had surely heard of him included an enviable war record, a fearlessness in the stiffest of hunting country and an enviable skill when out with the guns. Added to this, he was known to have a string of thor- cughbreds in training, played excel- al | together subsequently before the Ab- Sentenc | VISCOONY LASCELLES MIRAL NEWS something about the weather, or “how is your father, the Earl," or “tell Lady Ragbaggot I've found her woollen mittens a blessing. But the war closed many of the ex- isting spaces, Probably the one he- tween the Princess Mary and Lord Lascelles began to shrink that firs: evening at the dinner party. At any rate they talked together much of the time, talked of norses und the war, of what each was doing, and thus brought the theme to themselves, which, with a man and a maid, is Just where it belonys. Then the dinner party came to on end, the farewells were said—perhaps a hand was held out to bridge the nurrowing space—and Fhort time afterward Lord La "s leave ended and he returned to the front in ¥rance. and just here it is quite reasonable for every one else in the world to wonder whether, when he left, he took back to France with him evea the remotest idea that one day he would ask for the han: of the daugh- ter of the King of Ergland—and ba accepted.
