AN AMERICAN DIPLOMAY,
fie Toroke Throngh Court Etiquette and Found Favor With the Queen.
Mr. Andrew Stevenson of Virginia had been the American minister to England oniy a few months when the young Prin- cess Vietoria became the queen. His con- temiporaries took great pleasure in hearing bis experiences on that occasion, so fortu- nate tor England and the world.
Mr. Stevenson was duly presented to Kine William IV by his predecessor. As he backed away from the presence of giajesty he observed a small group stand- f2¢ near the door through which he must jeave the drawing room. Two ladies, evi- jentiy a mother and daughter, attended dy several gentlemen, stood apart, neglect- td by the crowd. Mr. Stevenson saw that
; the young girl was looking directly at
falutation was returned by the little
When they were fairly out of hearing, Mr. Stevenson's companion informed him that the two ladies were the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria, and that he had committed a great blunderin sa- juting them, since it was contrary to court etiquette to acknowledge the heir in the presence of the sovereign. The gallant Virginian, however, stoutly protested that no cast iron ryje could excuse a gentile- mae for tnotvility to a lady.
When the next drawing room was held, Mr. Stevenson saw With satisfaction that the young princess and her party were all iooking away from him, so that his cour- fesy peed not be tired. But as he ap- proached them the Duchess of Kent re- marked, in an audible tone, “‘ Victoria, the American minister.’"’ The young prin- dess turned quickly witha glance of recog- nition, and again smilingly acknowledged Mr. Stevenson's bow.
Not many weeks after this the youthful princess became the queen and sbowed +éF appreciafion of American civility by inciuding Mr. Stevenson’s name in the ‘Vist of first gtiests Invited to Windsor castle. When the visit took place, Mr. Stevenson found himself scated near the queen, to whom he talked as he would have done to any other pleasant young girl. The cour- fiers present exchanged glances of horror at seeing him guilty of such a faux pas. With them, unless royalty spoke first, $i? e was preserved.
“fhe young sovereign regarded Mr. Sterenson’s attention more fayorably and invited him te ride with her the next morning. He told with much humor how it tried his mettle to keep up with the a@ive English horsewoman, and how, when she leaped her horse over a five barred gate, he dared not follow, but rode around some distanceon an easier road and found himself completely distanced by the queen and her immediate attendants. ~Harper’s Round Table,
