The Queso,s Garden PARTIES

need not iell you how simple, plain
and perfectly English and womanly are
the habits and tastes Of the Queen. The
Prince of Wales, socially, is nothing
more than rich, sporting, pleasure
loving English squire. The style of en-
tertainm at the palace, for example,
is quite like that you would receive at
the house of the Duke of Sutherland or
the Duke of Westminster. Nay | have
even heard the complaint hinted that
when the Queen entertains officials at
dinner, the viands are not as various or
as we'll served as at any ordinary aristo-
cratic gentleman's house. The Queen
certainly sets an example of economy
to her upper-class subjects. When she
comes to London for the early parlia-
mentary season, her favorite method of
dispensing hospitality is to give garden
parties and breakfasts in Bucking-
ham Palace gardens, or in the private
gardens of Windsor Castle. Invitations
to these are, Of course, much sought for,
because they are the most select; there
you come directly in contact with roy
atty, and see it more nearly and famil-
iarly than if you dined with the Queen
in the castle When you are conducted
in the garden by one of the scarlet
hunkies Of her majesty, said hunky
is about the only visible hint there
is<of its being a royal party. You see
pretty tents and canvas pavilions dis.
posed here and there under the oaks, on
the velvety lawn, or by the side of the
pretty miniature lake. If this is in the
Buckingham Palace garden, which is in
the very center of fashionable West End
London, the moment you have passed
beyond the high wall which shuts it out
from St James Park on one side and
Grosvenor Place on the other, you would
never guess that you we're in the midst
of the city The surroundings are ex-
duisite and most illusory rural. You
see a number Of gentlemen and ladies',
elegantly dressed, standing about in
groups, or partaking of the by no means
sumptuous fare which is being served
without ceremony in the tents. The
scene is cheerful, elegant, bon ton, easy
and unrestrained. You catch glimpse
of the Queen, dressed in black, with
here and there a relief in the rich white
lace; but with no suspicion OF tinsel or
gaudiness about her; plain lady, of
substantial proportions, in the prime of
life, the center of a respectful, but by no
means awed or abashed circle; receiving
those whom she recognizes with a slight
smile and a pleasant word, and the
presentation Of those whom she does
not know with a slight bow. There
are faces here familiar to you in the |
windows Of the print shops-noble-
men, statesmen, ministers, embassa-

doris, leaders Of society and court fash
ion; but there is little or no pretention
of manner or carriage. You are sur
prised above all at the simplicity, the
elegant commonplace Of the whole
thing. You may jostle Wales, or the
Russian ambassador, or Lord Chief JUS
tice. without being in the least aware Of
the fact. The gentleman who, seeing you
are stranger, asks you If you will not
have sandwich and cup of coffee, may
be fashionable artist or a provincial
mayor, and may be the Duke of Teck.
II perchance you have been at a fete
champetre at some great country house,
saw at Chatsworth or Belvoir, you say to
yourself that this differs in no striking
respect from it unless indeed it differs
by its lessor brilliancy and its more sug-
gestive simplicity. And this is the strik-
ing characteristic of modern English
royal life. There is great change even
from Gentleman Georges time. That
padded and painted old dandy never
appeared as host without being bedi-
zened with stars and laces. To be sure,
there are nowadays grand occasions.
like drawing-room levees, openings OF
Parliament, thanksgiving pageants in
st. Pauls and so on, when majesty as
sumes all the trappings and insignia OF
its rank. but they are the rare exeep-
tions-rarer to royalty than to our own
birthday and patriotic anniversaries-
to the ordinary routine of royal life

The average American contemplates
in stupid bewilderment the tenacious
faith Of the disciples of Confucius in the
religious necessity that wherever death
may overtake them their dust must be
sent back to the Flowery Kingdom to
rest in the bosom of Mother Earth. Pos
aibly it is silly superstition, but our
Heather Chinee" fellow beings live up
to it ever so much more consistently
than we live up to our superstitions.
The Orhamme, from Portland, few
days ago, brought down over ton of the
mortal remains of Mongolians who had
shuffled off their coils in Oregon. This
queer cargo is to be reshipped from this
port to China. The fact that so thrifty
a people as the Chinese should incur the
great expense they do for such a pur-
pose, proves the strong hold which the
custom has upon them. The mere pre-
paration of the bodies to be shipped
costs twenty-five dollars each, and wheH
the expenses of packing, freight, reship'
ment, etc., is added, it must amount to
about as much as an industrious China.

principles, can save in year.
