ANNIVERSARY Of
ENGLISH QUEEN
PASSES QUIETLY
Celebration Planned by
King George Abandoned
in War Stress.
AGED QUEEN STILL
IS ACTIVE WORKER

r ONDON, Eng, Dec. 26.-Plans Of
king George for great celebra-
- ton Of the 10th birthday anniver-
sary of his mother. queen Alexandra
were entirely set aside this year, on
account of the war, and she spent the
day quietly.
Among the guests who had been in
vited to attend the festivities planned
were emperor william and the en-
press. In connection with the queens
birthday anniversary it was recalled
by many that the marriage Of queen
Alexandra was the first ceremonial
function which the emperor ever was
allowed to attend. He then was a
small and fidgety boy of four years.
During the ceremony his uncles, the
dukes of Connaught and Edinburgh,
posted themselves on either side of him
to keep him quiet. When presently he
began to shuttle his feet, the two I'M
cles administered warning nudge.
Whereupon, according to bishop VIII
berforce, who witnessed the incident
the boy lnelt down and bit poth IN
cles in the calves so sayagely that
they had much ado to keep from cry
ing out"
Only One Diplomat.
It has been her majesty's custom for
many years to spend her birthday an
niversaries at her Sandringham home
surrounded by her family. Usually,
too, her daughter, queen Maud, of
Norway, has extended her English visit
until after the anniversary. But this
year. owing to the state of public al
fairs, queen Alexandra remained at
Marlborough house, London, for the
day, while queen Mauds customary
visit was abandoned entirely. Members
of the royal family and a Danish diplo-
mat were the only persons she re-
ceived-
stin Is Active.
Queen Alexandra still is active in
public affairs. She is a firm believer
in outdoor exercise and whenever the
morning weather is favorable she
may be seen strolling through her
gardens with her favorite dogs. She
makes it a rule to go through her vo-
luminous correspondence in person and
she continues to exercise the closest
personal control over her household
and its expenses. She passes several
hours in this business every day. go

controller of her household.
Head of Red Cross.
She is the head of the Red Cross So
ciety of England, and has devoted much
time to the raising of funds for the
support of this work. She follows the
labOrs of the nurses at the front with
the closest interest, and is preparing
to send each of them at Christmas a
small personal gift
Since the commencement of the war
queen Alexandra has followed the
course of events closely. She is kept
fully informed of all that is transpir-
ing on land and sea. The king COM
municates in person any messages he
thinks might prove a shock to her. A
recent instance of this was the death
of lord Roberts.
Queen Alexandra was born on De-
cember 1, 1914, the eldest daughter of
the late king Christian TX, of Den
mark. She married the late king Ed
ward VII while he was prince OF
Wales, on March 10, 1863, and has been
a widow since May 6. 1910.
