georgetown tire battery be wtse 4 mart street north 73290 tractionize 4t my views i n wfrts by elizabeth dy monday was a busy day crowds gathered early and stayed late to see the queen ride my in her beau tiful coronation gown and magnifi cent jewels the day was perfect in every respect and the sight of our beautiful young queen riding in that open carriage drawn by those handsome black horses was one to remember always the dia mond tiara the queen wore on her heaa- is the russian fringe tiara and it was originally presented to queen alexandria on her silver wedding anniversary in 1888 monday evening was the state dinner when se queen wore her handsome maple leaf gown no press were allowed at the dinner but some were allowed to go early to government house to see the dining room and get a preview of arrangements from a member pt the governorgenerals staff i did not go some movies and still pho tographs were allowed by a few photographers very eatin the dinner and then they had to leave tuesday morning the royal cou ple visited the city of hull on the shore- of the river opposite otta wa it was another beautiful day and the queen looked so lovely driving along in her open cavires sed in a pretty red suit with black persian lamacollar at noon the queen and toe duke came to hurd- man bridgewhere the queen pu shed a button to initiate construc tion on a new highway to be known as tae queensway i was on- hand forthis ceremony at 530 theame evening i saw the queen and the duke arrive at chateau laurier for a reception to which members of parliament and their wives andother import ant persons were invited there were also ten indian chiefs there representing the indians of each province ben christmas from cape breton was the one chosen to rep resent nova scotia cecil and i were invited too not as press but because cecil is president of the cwna we were near the begin ning of the long line that walked past to shake hands with her maj esty and the duke and it was just as big a thrill this time as it had been the first time gorgeous bou quets of chrysanthemums in the fall shdes together with light at peace wimerprty the wedne osoroctown day novemb 20 18 page 7 z than any

beauty in front of which the queen and her husband stood for nearly two hours to shake hands the leen looked so lovely and see- ao happy and friendly large ballroom into which we went after shaking hands was a picture when i first saw it green vines trailed from the balconies and the long white uueaknneither side of the room had low bouquets of mums in- the same shades as had been used in the drawing room be hind the queen a bank of mums and fern were in the centre of the room and here and there on small tables were placed silver trays filled with small cakes and each tray was centred with a crown perfect in every detail and made all of white icing i would say each crown was about four in ches in diameter and truly were a work of art and must have requir ed great patience to make we met a number of new and interest ing people here and had a very en joyable few hours when at last each guest had been received the royal couple had a cup of tea in the drawing room then the doors of the ballroom were thrown open and the queen and prince philip with two mounties ahead to clear the way through- the throng walk ed through the room passing right 8j by me again and left by the door will be on hand on the opposite side to proximity from the chateau the queen other routine drove to government house where she changed into a beautiful even ing gown and then went to have dinner at the prime ministers resi dence i went into the drawing room and from the window saw the queen and the duke leave in the plastic topped silver grey car flashbulbs were going off all ar ound the doorway as the couple drove away before leaving the room i had a closer look at the handsome bank of flowers in front of which the queen had stood it reached over my head and was the most beautiful and largest flower arrangement i had ever seen wednesday morning was the col dest morning since the queen had arrived in ottawa and there was quite a bit of fog i could havef gone to the airport to see the queen but since we ourselves had to leave ottawa that afternoon i felt there wouldnt be enough time so i found a spot on the street and waved my goodbye from there it was cold waiting and people kept coming a few at a time until the street was lined 3 and 4 deep on both sides right around me were folks from montreal ottawa toronto boston and two from eng land these two had never seen the queen before although they had lived there right in london too until four months ago when they came to canada they were as excited as the rest of us when the queen drove past in her open car in spite of the cold she look ed not quite as happy this morning i thought and it could be she was a bit reluctant to leave canada do you suppose she wore a grey suit with darker grey beaver collar on the iposc jacket and a pink feather closefitting hat a pretty outfit but i think i liked her best in the handsome red velvet coat and hat in which she first stepped from the plane the children at lansdowne park gave her a rousing welcome and farewell and the queen spoke a few words to them there and then she was away soaring high in her rcaf plane on her way to visit the united states as queen of can ada it is always the waj what we had looked forward to so eag erly for weeks now was a thing of the past but what a host of won derful memories i and so many others had to treasure and share with others through the years ah ead surely we have a royal fam ily of whom we can be truly and justly proud and who i am sure are doing everything in their pow er to strengthen the ties that bind great britain and the common wealth together after waving goodbye to the queen i walked along the two streets that are part of ottawas main shopping centre and saw some of the nice windows that the- stores had for the royal visit two of these were very interesting i thought one store with a number of windows had on display scale models of all the royal residences in englandt one in each window there was buckingham palace the tower of london windsor castle sandringham balmoral and holy- rood palace the other store had dolls about two feet high as actual models of the seven queens of england who were queen in their own right the costume on each was of the period in which she rei gned in conclusion i would like to thank the cnr for all their kind ness to us on this trip to ottawa and for the many courtesies their staff are always ready to extend to us thejtotaryclub of georgetown entertained their ladies at a din ner party with entertainment fol lowed by dancing last monday ev ening an excellent
