QUEEN AT TABLEAUX

French Picture Matinee The Queen was tremendously interested In the tableaux at the French Picture Matinee held at London recently. . She chose to watch them from one of the stage boxes at His-Majesty’s Theatre, and time after' time she applauded until the last bit of “frame” had been finally obscured by the curtain. A good many of the pictures she remembered seeing at the exhibition of French art in London early this year, and when a specially attractive example Was posed she commented on it to Lady Linlithgow or Mary Lady Minto, who were with her in the royal box. The Princess Royal’s small boy, Gerald Lascelles, was as generous in his applause as was his royal grandmother. He quickly recognised Princess Beatrice’s granddaughter, Lady Iris Mountbatten, who impersonated the Charming figure in Greuze’s “Girl with Doves.” When thanking Miss Jean Stevenson, national general secretary of the Y.W.C.A. for an address at the Lyceum Club, Auckland, Mrs. J. 0. Dickenson, acting-president, referred to the great good Miss Stevenson had done for Auckland five years ago when she started the sports movement amongst girls which resulted in the inter-house sports club.
