personal notice. The story of her

piece of furniture, while making
tour of Windsor castle, and under

neglect, I have never heard con-
firmed, but many little stories attest
her far-seeing supervision in every
thing. She never considered the small
est courtesy beneath her dignity.
Madame NJ, lady-in-waiting to the
duchess of Connaught, is responsible
for this little anecdote illustrating
this. At the time of the christening of
little Prince Edward, the eldest son of
the duke of York, through some mis-
take Madame MS invitation was
forgotten. She did not go to the GER
emony, but seeing the queen soon
after, her majesty asked why she had
not been present, inquired into all the
particulars, and made many excuses.
just then the duchess came up. ''It's
such pity about Madame Ms in
vitation," said her majesty, "but
there's no need for you to say any
thing. I've apologized."- ."-Harper's
