A ForcefuI Queen.
According to a circular letter issued
from Marlborough house tonight, the
designation of the new queen will be
Queen Mary. The role she win play
at the new court has been the subject
of considerable speculation.

new king and queen lived such retired
lives that It is difficult to form an
opinion, but IL is almost safe to assume
that the court will be far less brilliant
than 1t was under King Edward The
latter attached the fullest weight and
dignity to the ceremonies of the kingly
office, and ali state functions under
his reign were invested with the pomp
and magnificence he considered befit-
ting the court of a great empire. He
attracted to his court a brilliant array
of wealthy social figures, in which
American heiresses married to English
aristocrats played a prominent part

ton of the court circle. Queen Mary
is credited with great strength of
character and Is likely to exert far
more influence on the court surround
is deeply religious and has love for
charitable work connected with the
church, while King George. so far as
is known, is more fond of country life
and pursuits than of courtly pomp.
Old Favorites Under Cloud.
Hence there is a general belief that
the new court will be OF simpler
and more austere type and that many
of those who heretofore exercised a
paramount influence will be obliged
to seek comparative retirement
Nothing as yet has been received
from Mr.. Roosevelt with regard to
his plans, but it is certain all pubic
or semi-public entertainments Will be
waite functions will be abandoned
The Romanes lecture may be deliver

fixed. as the funeral of the king Will
occur on or about that date.
