In the Queen Christina of later days
the dominant characteristic was her eX-

resulted from the studied effort of her IA

would have no prime minister. and ruled
as a personal sovereign She read all
the dispatches and dictated the re-
plies to generals in the field and ambas-
sailors at foreign courts. She attended
all the meetings of her council and ruled
it by force of character and sheer resO-

The power she had was not always ex-

To be so popular that you don't
have to pay your hotel bills is the
happy lot in WhWiCh Edmund ROstand,
the poet and playwright finds him
self.
Thes ecret was given away by Jules
Bernard, the Paris correspondent of
the GiOrnale dItaIia, who writes, that
when the first night of "Chantecler"
was on, he managed to secure employ
ment at the Majestic hotel where NJ.
and Nine. ROstand were staying. He
declares that not only We're the dra-
matst and his family lodged and
baarded for nothing, but that M. ROs-
tand received $50 francs a day for at
tracing patrons to the hotel by his
presence there.
NJ. Rostand was asked if this state
ment was true but he would not con-
tradict it, It is said that a hotel
keeper at Campiegne gave free lOdg-
ing and board to the elder Dumas on
condition that he would show him
self once a day.
