London; June 20.-Queen Victoria
began the celebration of her diamond
Jubilee today, as befitted her entire
career. before the altar of her faith,
while in every cathedral, church or
chapel of the Established Church OF
England throughout the Empire were
held services similar to those at st.
Georges Chapel, Windsor, where Her
Majesty paid her devotions and offer
ed solemn thanksgiving.
At the end there was pause. The
Queen with bowed head continued In
silent prayer.
HER MAJESTY KISSES HER CHILDREN
Then followed touching scene
which will ever linger in the memory
Of those who witnessed it. Summon
ing the Empress Frederick, who
bowed low at her side, the Queen
kissed her on both cheeks. The Duke
of Connrught and the others OF thu
family followed, receiving q similar
ltoken OF affection on bended knee.
In several cases the recipient was
) kissed several times.
The Queen was profoundly mov-
ed and the tears rolled down her
cheeks. At last, and evidently with
great reluctance. she beckoned her
Indian attendant, and, leaning ON
his arm, passed slowly out OF the
, chapel, the entire congregation stand
{ ing, the soft light falling through thu
, multi-colored windows and the ex
auisite strains Of the organ rising anc
: swelling beneath the gothic hammered
: roof. 1t was q scene never to be Tor
