because she had applied for a divorce from
one of the night-riders. She begged the court

Alexandra VIII Publish R Christmas
 Book.
 London Oct. 31.-Queen Alexandra's decision to publish a Christmas gift book for the benefit of charity recallf other queens of England who have fig ured as authors
 Queen Elizabeth. who for some time devoted herself to literature under Roger Ascham. was both author and poet. excelling especially at rebuses and kindred verses trifies. Catherine Parr published several devotional works, including a set of psalms in imitation of Dayid's, and it is said, too, though on somewhat scanty evidence that Queen Mary and Anne Boleyn are also to be counted among England's royal authors. Queen Victoria, with her Highland Journal and the more recent "Letters'' points the connection of literature and royalties.
 Queen Alexandra has been an enthu- siastic photographer for some fifteen years. She first began to use cam era at Sandringhanl. and some of her first subjects were the horses bred on the royal estate and exhibited for sale at the annual show at Wolferton. The Queen and her camera, the latter being generally carried by Sir Digh- ton Probyn, were obJects or speclai m Ih- terest at the sale long before amateur photoEraphy had become so general among ladies. The Queen soon becam, very clever in snapshotting the horses as they were being put through their paces. and haa thus preserved pictures of the finest animals bred in the kings stud.
 On one occasion when photograph ing in the open country fin Norfolk the Queen took the view of a bridge in the vicinity of Sandringham' When It was developed the photograph sbowed inc bridge to be out of level. The Queen took another and yet an- other snapshot, and still the bridge presented the same appearance. It was then thought desirable to have the structure examined. with the re- suIt that there was found to be sub sIdence of one part of the bridge. which if it had not been remeGied' ,,isbt have had a disastrous result.
