A sTlckLER FOR FORM.
Della Mnnde Has Some odd IDEAS ON

the Subject.
Della MAude Is stickler for form-in
the artistic and not the conventional
sense, but as applied to ones ways of do
ing things. Della Maude (she uses her
full name, please has a theory. That
theory is that there Is symmetry in action
as well as in outline. She believes that
it is just as natural for some people to do
things "symmetrically" as it is for others
not to.
ut is all In method" says Della Maude.
"The symmetrical person has a way OF
doing things. il it's only tying shoelace,
that is pleasing TO behold. Suppose such
a person lights lamp, He won't strike
his match until the chimney is of and the
wick snuffed, but the man who lacks this
symmetry of action will light a match
and hang on to it in imminent danger OF
seorching his fingers while he struggles
to prepare the lamp with the disengaged
hand. Meanwhile the observer suffers
nervous tortures at his awkwardness and
wishes he'd either do things right or not
do them at all.
''How few people realize" she argues.
shat what they cannot do gracefully
they should not attempt" and she cites

The Royal Procession
Formed for'Last Time.
Kings and Princes Hear the
Burial Service Read.

Windsor, February The last honors
have been paid to Queen Victoria. Her
body now rests near that OF her husband
In the mausoleum at Frogmore. The
final ceremonies were more Of a funeral
and pathetic character than any Of the
obsequies which preoedet them Shortly
before three o'clock in the presence OF the
royal mouruers, the Grenadier guard Of
honor lifted the coffin from its temporary
resting place In the Albert Memorial
chapel and placed 1t on q gun carriage
In the meanwhile, the Queen company
OF Grenadiers, drawn mp In the quad
rangls, presented arms and wheeled into
line, their rifle muzzles pointing to the
rear, at the reverse. and, with slow,
measured steps marched towards the
castle gate. At the head OF the procession
was band playing Chopin's funeral
march.
Slowly the cortege passed under the
massive archway onto the long walk
which was a mass OF black brilliantly
edged with scarlet. Life guardsmen kept
the crowd hack.
In place on the gun carriage was the
same regalia which had attracted the
eyes of millions since the march to the
grave began at Osborne. Close behind
walked the King, emperor William and
the Duke OF Connaught wearing dark
military overcoats and plume1 cooked
hats and looking pale and oareworn. In
similar dull attire were the kings Of Por-
tugaI and Belgium. All hsads were bent
The blue and gray of the German
princess redeemed the royal group from
perfect sombreness of color. Behind these
walked Queen Alexandra and the royal
prinoesses, deeply veiled. The Queen
carried an umbrella but the others had
these veIied women passed out from the
castle there came two boys dressed In
bright tartan kits and velvet jackets.
Between them was young girl, her fair,
loose hair glittering against the crepe OF
her morning. Two OF these were children
OF Princesse Henry of Batbenburg and
the other was little Prince Edward of
York. His tiny legs could hardly keep
pace even with the slow progress of the
mourning band.
The rear of the procession was brought
up by the suites OF the kings and princes.
The royal family and relatives entered
the burial place SO dear to the late Queen,
ranging themselves on each side of the
coffin. The Bishop OF Winchester read the
last part of the burial service. After
further singing by the choir the bendio-
tion was given, and, amid the privacy OF
this family tomb, the last farewells were
said. the funeral came to an end the
mourners drove to the castle and the
crowds dispersed.

THE KING TO THE COLONIES.

London, February 4.--The King has
sent the following message to all tho
British colonies and dependencies:
ITO my people beyond the seas:-The
countless messages of royal sympathy
that have received from every part of
my dominions over seas testify to the
universal grief in which the whole en-
pire now mourns the loss of my beloved
mother.
'In the welfare and prosperity of her
subjects thI hIoughout Great Britain, the
Queen ever evinced a heartfelt interest.
She saw with thankfulness the steady
progress which, under the wide exten-
sion of self government, they had made
during her reign. She warmly appre.
ciated their unfailing loyalty to her
throne and person and was proud to
think of those who had so nobly fought
and died for the empires cause in South
Africa.
Il have already declared that 1t will
be my constant endeavor to follow the
great example which has been be
queathed to me. In these endeavors
shall have confident trust in the devo
tiou and sympathy of the people and oi
their representative assemblies through
out my vast colonial dominions.
With such loyal support will, with the
blessing of God solemnly work for the
promotion of the common welfare and
security of our great empire over which
have now been called to reign.
