LONDON, Dec. 27.--Queeu Mary in
view OF her interest In the question of
food supply recently summoned Wal
ter Runciman, president of the Board
OF Trade, to all audience at Bucking-
ham Palace. 1t is very unusual for the
Queen TO send for cabinet minister.
The conference was long one, the
Queen being particularly interested in
definite details as to how the proposed
new food regulations would affect the
poor. especially the working women
and women belonging to the so-called
professional classes. From the very
beginning OF the war;. the Queen has
shown particular interest in the posi-
ton of middlC.class women, women Of
education and breeding, who have
moved for years in one groove. and
who were no longer young enough to
be able to benefit by new openings
when their old occupations or incomes
gradually became insufficient.
The subject OF food economy, also,
is one that has engaged the heartiesL
attention OF the Queen. THE Queen
is herself remarkably good house.
keeper" writes one Of the newspapers
in commenting on the audience with
Mr.. RunCiman, land if she belonged to
the middle classes she would be eXtoll-
cd as wonder among her peers.
Years ago, before war with Germany
was thought Of, she used to be quoted
as an example Of thrifty management
and sound common sense. In those
days. thirty management and sound
common sense were neither popular
nor fashionable. and it was considered
the smart thing 10 be wasteful and friv-
olOus, and completely ignorant OF. what
went on in the kitchen and the store
room. Even yet, not everybody has
come around to the Queens point OF
view. although they will in time, even
if they have TO be forced into it. \
vast deal OF unnecessary spending still
goes on, especially among the so.called
smart set. which is still lunching and
dining ana going to the theatre and
buying expensive furs and going in for
extremes in evening dress. Only an
act OF Parliament will stop them"
