that has reached the public from the royal pre-
cincts Ia that Lord Salisbury himself was never
treated more cordially. This attitude Of the
queen toward the liberal leader is commented
on cynicslly by Mr.. Kerhart and others Of his
stamp, who seem to think that Mr.. Gladstone
should have forgotten that he was a gentleman
and the queen a lady. The conversation be-
tween Mr.. Gladstone and the queen took place
in the royal drawing room, with no one present
but themselves.

yokels in their yellow frocks. There YVES a
notable absence Of the squires, the most con-
