She is the daughter of the Chinese minister, and she lives in the Stewart castle at Washington with her father and mother. Her name is Tsin Yew Me, and she is a little more than '2 years old. Margaret Spencer, who recently oalled at the castle, has written quite an interesting article about this little princess of the Chinese embassy, in which a portrait is given. Aniong other things the article contains the following interesting description: She wore a pink figured underskirt and a robe, cut just like her mamma's, of dark blue brocade. The sleeves feil away from her tiny wrists, which were covered with bracelets of coral, beads and gold bands. You never saw such pretty hands - so soft and brown and tiny. The little oval tipped fingers were covered with rings, and on one thumb two rings of blue stones. In the photograph, whioh the big brother of the baby told me at the legation I might send to you, I see the rings are taken off and a royal headdress put on in place of the funny house cap which she wears at home. That is of black silk, with a hole ent out for the crown of the head and edged with black fringe. Across the forehead gold bangles are sewed on, gifts from the fanüly at her birth "for good luck." Two tiny red pompons bob up and down on slender wires, and a gold medal haugs below them. Behind all these a tiny bell is fastened, which tinkles like a sleighbell whenever the little head moves. She wore green silk stockings fastened by garters of red, with funny rosettes.
