her right hand, endeAvored to get close
to the King, her intention evidently be-
ing to shake hands. Several officials
were about to push her away when the
King interposed, saying: Leave her
alone, God bless her.
With a fervent "God bless your Ma
iesty," the old woman then saluted the
King, who shook her hand warmly.
In the course of iis round the King
called upon a man who had been out
of work eight months ana gave MN d
five-pound note. After visiting one ten

from the street into another poorer one
