ignation Of the new queen Will bt
Queen Mary
As Prince and p inoess of Wales
the new king and queen lived such
comparatively retired lives that it ls
difficult to form an opinion. but II is
almost safe to assume that the cour,
| win be far less brilliant than it was
under King Edward
He attached to his court brilliant
array OF wealthy social figures, ii
thich American heiesses married tC
English aristocracy played promi
nent part
II is quito certain that great
changes will be seen in the eonstitu
tion Of the court circle, as well a.
among the actual officials and dieni
taries Of the court Queen Mary is
credited with great strength Of char
acte and IS likely to exert far NOR,
influence on the court surrounding
than did Queen AleNandrs she Is
deeply religious and has love fOl
charitable work connected with the
church, while King George. so far as
is known. is fonder OF country life
and pursuits than of courtly pomp
Hence. there is a gene al belief that
the new court viii be of simpler and
more mstere type aud that many OF
those who heretofore exercised a par
amount influence viii be obliged tc
seek comparative retirement
Roosevelt Functions OFF.
II is certain that all public or semi
public entertainments will be can
eelled and IL is probable that even
p ivate functions will be abandoned
