Intended mainly for American readers, it will be read with pleasure by Canadians generally, Her Majesty, says Sir Clem- ent, has a very retentive memory Once she has Jnastered a subject, It seldom goes out of her mind, 'and months afterwards she will astonish her friends by reference to a conver- sation they themselves had forgotten. Driving through the streets of Hobart, she recognized a man in the crowd, and remarked to her lady-in-waiting that he had been a curate at East Fheen when she was a girl and his name began with C, and that she had heard Mm preach two or three times On inquiry it turned out that he was the same man ,and that his name was €---n. It would be clever to have remembered him had the Queen met interva ten years, but in a passing crow® in far-away Tasmania it was extraordinary As a mutual result of such good memory the Queen has something to say to everyone, and the personal touch this gift imparts to her conversation grat- ies and charms all with whoni she Is brought into contact. Fond of Music. Music had a great share in the home life at White Lodge, the musical hour in the drawing room being at ome time a regular institution, and often the Duchess would sit down at the piano in the evenings and sing bal- lads from the popular operettas of the day. The Queen has a sweet voice, a soft soprana, which greatly matured under the skiiful guidance of Signor (now Sir Laulo) Tosti. Of late years, however, Her Majesty has given up her singing; and, although retaining her fondness for music, she rarely finds much time to devote to the plano Dramatic art of every kind appeals to her, and there are few plays of im- portance, or that+have attracted pub- lic attention during the last two decades, she has not seen. Like her mother, she quickly seizes upon the humorous side of a question Thus she has a keen appreciation for a sparkling comedy or a farce, and on returning from the theatre, or after- wards in conversation, often makes allusion to some particularly amusing part of the performance. The Queen is greatly attached to the historical part of her country, and has collected together quite a number of interesting things connected with the Royal Family. As a girl she al- ways enjoyed going over museums and Inspecting articles of antiquity, a trait in her character which has widened with years. She has an intimate knowledge of old silver and china, and possesses a valuable collection of ob- Jets d'art A Great Reader, The Queen has always been a great reader, and her boudoir at White Lodge contained a little case of favor- Ite books, prominent amongst them being Tennyson's Poems. Books of travel and biographies are seldom missed, for the Queen does nov read for mere passing pleasure, but for in- struction and information. Novels of themselves do not appeal to her Ma- Jesty, but she has read and re-read classic works of fiction; and any novel by a well-known writer, or that is specially recommended to her, at once receives her attention. Her Majesty follows events atten- tively She reads the newspapers dally, and as Princess of Wales at- tended the more important Parliamen- tary debates, occupying a seat in the Peeresses' Gallery in the House of Lords and in the Speaker's Gallery in the House of Commons. A chance meeting In a country house led to my being invited to White Lodge, and being honored with the friendship of the puke and Duchess of Teck. At the time I was helping with the House of Lords inquiry into the sweating system, and well do I remember the great interest taken by the Queen in the evidence. She never tired of hearing about the workers, and would ply me with questions about the chain- makers, the seamstresses, and the other toilers for long hours and Jow wages, until 1 thoroughly believe she knew as much about the conditions and requirements of these people as I did myself. ROBES AT AUCTION Those of George IV. Were Once Sold at Phillips' Rooms It is a fact, generally forgotten, that the Coronation robes of George 1V., which, it has been suggested, his Ma- Jesty King George VV. may wear at the coming ceremony, were once sold ot auction. With other official costumes of George IV. they were "put up' at Phillips' auction rooms in Bond street In 1831. The magnificent Coronation maptle of purple velvet was rold as "lLof 83° for a paltey $2375, though it was proh- ably worth $1500 at least Another splendid crimson velvet Coronation mantie, which, according to the auc- tioneer, cost £2.608, brought on the same occasion $230. Other items on the catalogue were "the Coronation ruff of superb Mech- Hn" and the Coronation coat, waist. coat, and trunk hose And these sumptuous vestments or most of them--passed into the hands of Madame Tussaud, though It is extremely doubtful if they were ever allowed to grace a wax figure.

CORONATION TOYS Many Speculators Get Their Money Bark with Goed Interest If anybody wants to make some money, now is There are warehouses packed from cellar to roof with toys in readiness for the Coron- ation, nearly all of them, be it noted in passing, of home manufacture.
