THE QUESTION OF A CURTSY.—Mrs Ulla Lindstroem, the only woman member of the Swedish Cabinet, being presented to Queen Elizabeth in Stockholm by King Gustav. Mrs Lindstroem, who did not curtsy to Her Majesty, said in an interview: “If I curtsy, it is only to persons of very advanced age and experience ... I do not curtsy to my own Queen, so why should I curtsy to a lady 40 years younger and from a foreign country? I greeted her politely and in friendship, as I greet every woman who really knows how to handle her job.”
