THE ROYAL BOX

On Nov. 15 the king of Denmark will celebrate the fortieth anniversary of his accession, and preparations are already in progress for making the occasion memorable.

Princess Irene of Prussia has more than 4,000 godfathers. She was born as the war of 1866 was closing, and her father, Prince Henry of Hesse, requested his command to stand godfathers to his daughter, whom he named Irene (Peace) in commemoration of the cessation of the war.

The Grand Duchess Olga of Russia, the czar's eldest daughter, who is now in her eighth year, is probably the wealthiest little lady in teh universe. At her birth something like 1,000,000 pounds was settled upon her, and it is safely invested in England and France. If she lives to be married her marriage settlement is likely to be the largest on record.
