been put into a seven-year trance by
a San Francisco hypnotist. We sim
ply don't believe it. The trance story

In the Illustrated London News of
April L is an engraving of miniature
of Queen Alexandra painted by Allyn
Williams, RMS, which was on ex-
hibition at the DowdesweH galleries,
London. 1t is mentioned that minia-
lures of the king and queen were
painted at special sittings and had
been presented to the corporation of
London by Sir Albert Reynolds. Local
interest attaches to these royal por-
traits from the fact that Mr.. Williams,
who painted the queens miniature, is
married to a niece of Mrs. Alatau T.
Atkinson.
