The Girl's Own Paper, Vol. VIII, No. 369, January 22, 1887

CARMEN SYLVA, POETESS AND QUEEN. THE SHEPHERDS FAIRY. HINTS ON PRACTISING SINGING AND PRESERVING THE VOICE. MERLES CRUSADE. I ONLY WISH I HAD. THE INHERITANCE OF A GOOD NAME. AN APPEAL FOR AN OLD FRIEND. SHE COULDNT BOIL A POTATO. NOTES FOR FEBRUARY. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. Such, roughly rendered, is the explanation that the gifted and distinguished authoress gives of the nom de plume which she has assumed. In the last line there is a reference to the woodland castleMon Repos, or My Restwhere she passed her youth. Her father was Hermann, Prince of Wied, a cultivated and thoughtful man, fond of philosophical speculation, and a writer on topics connected with his favourite studies. Her mother was Princess Maria of Nassau, who is described as a woman of great beauty and true elevation of soul, of strong will, keen understanding, self-sacrificing spirit and indefatigable activity, inexorably strict with reference to herself, but overflowing with kindness and consideration towards all with whom she is brought in contact.[1] Elizabeth, the subject of our sketch, now the Queen of Roumania, was born on the 29th of December, 1843. As a child, she was impetuous in temper, reserved and resolute in disposition, and unbending in will. Her imagination was very lively. In her fourth year she was placed under the charge of a governess to receive regular instruction. Up to that time her mother had been her sole teacher. She was so lively that she suffered physical torture if she had to sit quite quiet. Once, when she was sitting for her portrait, along with her younger brother, Prince William, she resolved to keep still. Hardly had she done so for five minutes before she suddenly fell off her chair in a fainting fit. Her mothers former governess, Fralein Lavater, who came to Mon Repos for some months every year, was the only one who could tranquilise her. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
