taking place during the last two years arc
almost revolutionary in extent. the fun

the country.

ing with much Wgor the older families
Of our nobility have decided upon the I'M
usual course Of dropping their titles and
adopting plain Mr." in front of their

members Of the various orders Of knight

BY this course they would hope to bring
the new peers into disfavor, holding them
up to rdicule. All Europe appears to be
looking toward London now.
Il has been definitely settled that the
German crown prince and princess are to
represent the court OF Berlin at the coro-
nation. They will probably be accom-
panied to England by Prince and Princess
Henry OF Prussia. who were the official
representatives OF the court Of Berlin at
King Edwards coronation. Prince and
Princess Henry will not be present at the
ceremonial at Westminster Abbey as rela-
tivcs and not officially, so they will be
placed along with other members of the
royal family and not with the representa-
lives Of foreign courts.
The emperor Of Russia Is to be repre-
scented by his brother, the Grand Duke
Michael Alexandrovitch who will very
likely be accompanied to England by his
cousin, the Grand Duke Dimitri Paulo-
witch The Emperor Francis Joseph will
be represented by the Archduke Francis
Ferdinand and the Archduke Francis Jo-
seph. The corwn prince OF Sweden will
come from Stockholm, the Duke Of Aosta
from Italy. the crown prince of Denmark

enhagen, the Duke Of Sparta and Prince
George OF Greece from Athens, the prince
consort of the Netherlands from The
Hague and the crown prince Of Roumania

Dresden, Brussels, and Stuttgart will all
be represented by royalties, and ambassa-
doris extraordinary are coming from. France
and Norway and from the United States,
China and Japan.

Queen Mary takes much interest in the
relief work being done among the poor OF
london. Recently she summoned Preben-
lary Garlic, founder Of the Church Army,
Buckingham Palace to receive from him

Netter fitted than our present queen to I'M
aerstand the needs of the poor, for she was
made the companion Of her mothers char
table efforts and taught to visit and re-

pleasure in having the matter so ably pre-
vented.

characteristic OF the living Of the king and
queen will doubtless exercise a good eff

ars not IN the least lavish. Indeed, apart
from the etiquette sovereignty entails
their family life can be held up as an ideal
for every household.
Instead OF the royal family, 1t might
from appearances, 20 be a domesticated
and industrious family OF the upper middle
classes that sits down 90 breakfast at

tured tastes, being an excellent historian
and a writer OF pretty verses.

enough, Lord Charles Beresford. Among
