1he Queen,s Jewels

When the queen opened the English par
lament she wore. for the first time. the
handsome necklace that has been manu-
featured for her out Of the cuttings OF the
Cullinan diamond. Exactly how MANY
necklaces of one kind and another she
possesses she would herself be puzzled to
say. Indeed. only those who have charge
Of her jewel cases could say with any de-
gree Of certainty. 1t was stated a few
years ago that she possessed 80 tIaras,
and since that time she has Inherited a
large portion of the magnificent collection
Of Jewels possessed by her mother, the
late queen OF Denmark. She has. how
ever, from time to time made considerable
presents OF her private Jewelry to several
members OF the royal family. including
her daughters. the Princess OF Wales and
Princess Alexandra OF Teck. She stu.
however, possesses one of the largest col
lections of precious stones in the world
and probably only the tsarina and the
queen Of Spain can surpass her in this
respect. All her jewels are contained in
large, burglar-proof cases so arranged In

mind almost at a glance what she will
