BEACH NOTES

Court at Buckingham Palace,
who looked admiringly at Queen
Mary on this and all other oc-
casions, and thereafter wrote
me an entertaining letter, prin'
cipally about a Royal Family
scene during the course Of the
presentation.
When the diplomats wife,
Madame Secretary, I shall
call her-had made her curtSy
to the Queen, she Joined a
group Of diplomatic wives and
settled herself there to enjoy
the spectacle.

Queen Mary-the Prince OF
Wales and the Duke Of Glouces-

enjoying himself. He was max
ing remarks, probably about
the bowing women, to his elder
brother.
H. r. H. Edward was amused
by what his brother was saying.
Now and then he smiled frankly.
Queen Mary was erect and
regal on the throne. She ap-
parently was unconscious OF
what her boys were doing. She
looked neither to the right nor
to the left, but nodded graci'
ously to each nervous, three
feathered lady.
Unexpectedly there came a
short intermission in the cere-
mony. Queen Mary beckoned
to the beautiful Gloucester. He
came at once and leaned over
to hear what his mother had to
say.
She whispered something in
her sons ear. He looked serious
and went solemnly back to his
place beside his brother.
The Duke of Gloucester did
not speak another word, nor
did the Prince Of Wales smile
during the remainder OF the
ceremony.
Madame Secretary says she
wished her sons minded their
mother as well as do the sons
of the Queen Of England.
