London, Nov. 17.--Accounts Of the Queens health
though satisfactory still dwell the fact that she V
not so active last year. Every year she does less
and is fatgued, and 1t is said by those about
Court that though In all essentials she is strong and
hale she feels and acknowledges regrcfuy that she
Is able do each year. Her Majesty fortansteiy.
avoided taking cold this year and this Is in her favor
She Is now unable to take any walking exercise and y
more apt to get chilled when driving The Queen u
to leave Balmoral for Windsor tomorrow afternoon,
and Her Majesty who is due TO arrive the Castle At

REFITTING ST. JAMESS PALACE.
The reconstruction OF the Duchess Of Cambrdee,e
house. In st. Jamess Palace, is nearly finished but
the Duke of Clarence not likely to take up his resi-
dence there before the middle OF February. The work
has been very much more costly than was expected
and the vote to pay for II is likely to give Mr. Plunket
some trouble in the Commons. The manner In which
1t has been carried out BIAS caused great discomfort
among the residents Of the palace and the new bow
window which has been added to one Of the sitting
rooms has entirely spoiled the adjoining apartments
After all this expenditure the Dukes house will be
BY no means q comfortable abode and the accommoda
lions Of the servants are altogether Inadequate
THE QUEENS CHAPEL AT WINDSOR
1t is curious coincidence that while the Prince Of
Wales has been enlarging and improving his parish
church the Queens private chapel at WINDSOR Caste
has been thoroughly redecorated, and largo new
organ, which is very fine instrument was erected In
the chapel recently. II has double set OF Keys ana
Is so placed that it will be available both Tor the SER
vices and also for the recitals and concerts In St.
Georges Hail. which adjoins the chapel There Is q
daily service In this chapel every morning, ana inc
clergy establishment the Dean OF windsor, as
domestic chaplain TO the Queen and the Vicar OF New
Windsor who Is the reader. In the Dean OF wcesleys
time there always special preacher on sunday
when the Queen attended the service but Her Majesty
liked Dean Davidson's sermons much that OF late
years he occupied the pulpit on two Sundays out OK
every three, and Canon Eliot Is also preacher OK
renown his services will probably be In frequent re-
quest.
FRIENDS OF EMPRESS FREDERICK.
Though tho Empress Frederick does not go ont
into society at ALL she likes to see the friends that
she and Emperor Frederick used to gather rouho
them in days past, friends by no means be-
longing to the aristocracy OF birth alone, but
to the aristocracy Of talent as WELL since the
Empress Frederick has been in Berlin she mas hVltea
these friends to tea few at tnle AID mas enIoSeu,

matters Of interest in which they are engaged
TENANTS OF HAMPTON COURT.
Until quite recently the occupants Of apartments In
Hampton Court Palace could lend their quarters IN
event of their going away for time. Now however
no apartment can be lent, even for day, WITHOUT
formal permission having been obtained from the Lord
Chamberlain hear that the Queen has given special
orders that leave Is by means to be granted As
matter of course and the name OF the person VINO 10
occupy the apartment Is always to be suomtted ioe
approval. There have been occupants OF Hampton
Court Palace who hardly ever lived there and VINO

surviving sons to proceed at once TO South America

rounds his fate.
