Entertaining accounts reach me from
London, says New York World
writer, concerning TIE two drawinG-
rooms and the participation IF Amer

long delay experienced III reaching the
palace, n delay partly owing, Of course,
to the crowd and partly to the fact that
the doors were not opened by the
queens orders until two o'clock in the

the barbaric sight of 4 number of half
clothed ladies waiting to pay their re-
