by the Associated Press. s).-The queen ar
rived at Windsor castle on Friday, after
spending a month at Balmoral castle,
Scotland, where the weather enabled her
to enjoy constant driving, to the benefit
of her health. Great prepara tions are be-
ing made at Aldershot camp for the re-
view of the troops by her majesty on
| Monday. Most of the princes and prin-
cesses will be present.
Royalties were much in evidence DUR
ing the past week. The queen and the
| Prince of Wales won a number of prizes
/ for horses and cattle at the Royal Agrl-
cultural society's show at Maidstone,
Kent, while almost daily members Of the
| royal family have been engaged in ad-
vancing the cause of charity, opening
bazaars and sales of needlework, or Civ
| ing garden fetes.
Thursday, the anniversary of her ma
jesty's accession to the throne in 1887, was
a specially busy day. The Duke Of Con-
naught reviewed the yeomen of the guard
| at Buckingham palace. 1t was a brill
liant society function, the royalties, Mr..
Henry White, secretary Of the United
States embassy; Mr.. j. r. Carter, second
! secretary of the United States embassy,
and Mrs. Garter, Colonel Samuel S. SUM
| ner, the United States military attache
| and Mrs Sumner and Lieutenant Colo
| mel Well the United States naval attache
! and Mrs. Colonel Well being among those
present.
| The Duchess Of Albany's garden party
| held in behalf of charity, was the rem
devious Of the fashionable people, in
cluding the Duke and Duchess of Con-
naught. the Marquis and Marchioness Of
Salisbury, the Duke and Duchess of Marl-
borough, Lord and Lady Mount Stephen,
| Lady William Beresford, Lord and Lady
! Strathconna and Mount-Royal and Mr.
and Mrs. Andrew j. Carnegie.
| Princess Chrstiana's sale of work from
| the royal school of art needlework Mon
day and subsequent days was a great
success. Many distinguished persons
We're among the sales people, including
some Americans, Lady Deerhurst and
Mesdames Boyne and Bradley Martin.
| The Albert hall bazaar, however, in aid
Of the fund Of the Charing Cross hos
pital, was the croWnng charitable func-
! ton of the season. The admirable, un-
firing work of Mesdames Paget and Rom
aids in connection herewith, is a matter
! of general comment and promises to lead
to insistent demands for their service at
all future events of a similar character.
1t was an immense success beyond the
most roseate dreams. The receipts We're

him Ito keep the change"
The season. on The whole, is proving
most successful, and the shoplseepers and
dressmakers are jnbilant. They say they
were never SO busy late in the season as
during the present year. one reason given
being the extremely fragile character of
the dress materials which are now fash
iOnable. Instead of dresses lasting a
season as usual, ladies are obliged to
have entirely new outfits in the middle
of the season. Money seems in every
way more plentiful.

the sums paid to singers and pianists for
private entertainments are fabulous |
Madame Melba is booked for eleven pri- |
vate parties, at which she receives 400
guineas tabout $4,000 each. Mrs Harms !
