LONDON. March 1S.-Queen Alexandra
and her sister, the Dowager Empress oil
Russia. have been delighting Londoners
BY the simple, transformations way they
have been going about Sightseeing, much
"A ordinary tourists do. One day 1t ls the
loo they visit, the next an art gallery
the third day a charitable institution OF q
school,
One can imagine the relief all this absence

Czar!na, and even more the absence OF thac
constant and apparent espionage ana
protection which is a regular part OF her
lie in Russia. There In her own country
she Is never able 10 appear at the theatre
or any public place, for this wife OF CLs'

people and her life is as much menaced
az is that Of her son.
The Empress's face shows the deep
sorrows and bitter dlsappointments "h'cn

abe looks many years older. Her eN-
preston Is fixed and stony as OF ohe
schooled to betray no emotion, and her Isoe
isfurrowed by deep lines around the mouth
and ewes.
A umor is current that the Empress
intends taking a house in London ana
making hes home here. The horror OF
tbh siSIation in Russia, which her presence
certainly does nothing to alleviate n her
love for her sister, Queen Alexandra, make
this quite probable.
Although the two royal ladies' have
driven about with apparently few precau-
tons. they have really been guarded very
carefully, and the principal care taken
lie that the time Of their going out Is not
announced till almost the last moment
and then very frequently announced only

Intend TO drive are communicated 10 the
private secretaries only in the morning
and 10 the servants just before starting
While to halk any crowd which might
gather az the front gates Of the palace
the pkvate entrance, the garden and the
stable entrance have been at different times
the points az departure and return.
