From the London Mail.
If, as is suggested, Queen Victoria con-
fers upon Queen Wilheimina the Order of
the Garter, the young Queen of Holland
will be the first lady TO receive that deco
ration from her majesty's hands.
The conferring of the Order of the Garter
upon ladies was common enough prior to
the reign of Henry VI. The order was con
fined mainly to the wives or near relatives
of men who had rendered the state some
signal service, or were held in high favor
at court
ladies of the Order as they We're
styled, were as numerous in those days a :

People thought. and wrote, and read of
nothing but battie, defeat and victory; ami

memory.
1t is, of course, within the power Of
Queen Victoria. as sovereign of the order.
to confer the garter upon any lady whom
she may wish 10 honor in that way. her
majesty has already instituted the follow
ing orders for ladies: The Royal Order of
Victoria and Albert, the Imperial order Of
the Crown of India and the Order OF the
Royal Red Cross.
