Romance highly sweetened and garnished with crowns and jewels galore is "The Princess Virginia." The heroine is marvelously beautiful and immeasurably charming, endowed with high spirit, and also with intelligence. The daughter of a poverty-stricken princeling, negotiations are begun for her marriage with the young Emperor of Rhaetia, a paragon of manliness who had caught her fancy years before. However, when she learns that the Chancellors had begun proceedings looking toward a proposal she revolts -- if she could win his love for herself she would consider the proposal, but not otherwise!
