| returned to New York yesterday after
a two years absence Among the pro-

is the belief that Queen Victoria was
an overrated woman. Speaking of the

she said yesterday:

In order to escape the topic. She was

When Mrs. Cruger had expressed

piled Mrs. Cruger. HE is democratic

thing of court. Its been for long
