A ROYAL "SIGHT!"
One of the topics of general talk was the amazing rudeness of many of the people at the Royal garden party, states a London writer. Ihe inclination to treat the Royal Family as a sort of
'"sight" on these occasions has been growing during the past few years, but I have never seen quite so much crowding round the Queen or such frank and unashamed pushing round the lawn set aside for the Royal tea tent and the presentations. The space has been much increased since last year, when people put chairs all round and sat down to view the proceedings as if they were at a circus, so there should have been room for a discreet peep for everyone.
