quite zeal on the part of her children, ana
was probably a remnant of their rather
stern bringing up. The efforts they made
to vanish into thin air when the Queen
came upon them unawares were most lu-
dicrous. From them the encourage caught
the same s,irit, which led to many amusing
incidents.
We were coming from Whippinsham
Church, designed and built by Prince Al
bert, and where Princess Beatrice had been
married the year before, when we Suddenly
came upon q royal group walking lelsureiy
ahead toward Osborne Cottage. Naturally
we slackened our pace, when. to our dis
may, we saw looming up in the opposite d.
rection certain white ponies AID outriders.
Caught between two fires. We paused a
moment, took in the situation. and decided
quickly that we had just time to scramble
in safely before the Queens carriage could
draw up at the door. Seeing that the adj
vance party had already turned into the
vine-covered portch. we gave wings to our
heels and bolted in, too, and there suddenly
came upon the whole company saying good

hastily guided him through our hall and

window. and he was madly careering down
our garden, leaving the aides-de-camp to
get away the best they could.
Poor people or perfect strangers the
Queen never minded seeing at all. 1t was
only those whom she knew about that she
did not care to encounter. as 1t would put
her in the awkward position Of being dis
courteous and passing them by, or else force
her to stop and talk with them, when she
felt disinclined to do so. Hence. out Of def
erence to the Queens supposed feelings
arose the etiquette prescribing that one
must never be seen on her path. This grew
into a stereotyped rule.
A guest showed us how the Queen ate
her orange, and advised us to initiate her,
which we did ever after. cutting a small
hole in the top. removing the central pith

JET VICTORIA'S
LOVE OF RES AIR.
The Clever Trick Which

From the Century Magazine.
Her love Of fresh air and cold was phe-
nomenal; a window was always n little
open, wherever she sat, and this was often
hard on the ladies in waiting. who. of
course, in the evening, had to be decollete
in all seasons. An eyewitness told me an
amusing little anecdote about Princess Be
atrice, who, one particularly chilly evening.
rather mischievously ran into the drawing
room ahead of her royal mother. quickly
nut the thermometer outside the window
for a few moments, and then hung it deftly
back again in its accustomed place. The
Queen, on entering the room. glanced me
chanically at the thermometer. looked
puzzled, and expressed her'surprise at the
low temperature registered. As soon as she
had turned her back. the mercury naturally
rose. but the Queen, satisfied by her glimpse
at the thermometer. sat down. perfectly I'M
aware Of the trick played upon her, and the
chilled ladies had a more comfortable even

FASHIONABLE
HANDKERCHIEFS.

The most fashionable. handkerchief this
year are those that are embroidered, and
especially those hat are embroidered in a
design worked On the body of the material
rather than in open work. In spite of this,
however, a great many people still use
handkerchiefs trimmed with lace and inser-
ton let in either one or two rows. One of
the newest designs is an exceedingly pretty
one: Instead of the handkerchief being cut
quite square, 1t is round at the corners
and these corners are trimmed with tucks.
So far as embroidery goes. the most fash
ionable handkerchiefs are ornamented in
one corner only. Among the most favored
designs are the true lovers knot, and a
basket Of flowers, while another is a COM

the silk cords that are knOtted together

HOPING FOR PEACE.
Argentina Is Nevertheless Preparing

ton. an agreement upon which would mean

council has decided to accept the first para
graph, concerning the construction of
roads. This paragraph is Satisfactory TO the

The compilation Of the second paragraph
referring to the pretended occupation
by Argentina Of Chilean territory at
Ultima EsDeranZa. is not acceptable to
the ministers. The assurance is given that
the Argentine government. replying TO this
paragraph, will answer that ii is impossible
for il 10 recognize an act which, after in
vestigation. has been disproved.
The hope prevails here that everything
will be arranged on a friendly basis within
