A QUEENS CHRISTMAS GIFTS.
The Presents of the English Royal
Family are inexpensive.

1T is quite impossible to form any
idea as to the value Of the presents
made by the Queen or given to her."
writes Lady Jeune in an article on
What Christmas Means to Queen Vic
toria," in the December Ladies' Home
Journal" I'm some cases, when her
gifts consist of India shawls, 5ewelry
and the like, they are very valuable
because they are unique, but the pres
ents she gives to her family, or In
turn receives from them, are not ex-
pensive. The royal purse Is not an in
exhaustible one, and the claims on 1t
are enormous, so that the presents
given by royal people must always be
regarded in the light Of souvenirs and
not as costly gifts. The Queens children
are not rich, and as they are not able
to afford expensive presents SO we may
consider the value Of all royal gifts
from the sentimental, not the CONNER
cial point Of view, and it is its pleas
antest as well as most touching aspect,
for it shows that simplicity and depth
Of the family affection, which is neither
nourished nor fostered by any feeling
of greed or expectation, but which is
as simple and genuine as that Of the
poorest subject Of our great Queen"
