THE QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY.
Birthday anniversaries are essentially domestic festivals in the Royal family, and the relatively large extent of the circle does not diminish their simplicity. Tii many delightful ways the members of the Royal family and household, on the occasion of Her Majesty's 63rd birthday, conveyed eloquent tokens of the love and regard in which the Queen is held. Flowers surrounded Her Majesty, for her friends, remembering how passionately fond of them she i\ in a great many cases chose them as their birthday offering. Sweet peas, carnations and roses—all favourites of hers, were among the (lowers that, went to the Royal Palace.
Liiies of the valley aro another favourito bloom. It is a h.ippv chance that this Royal favourite should be one of the most popular flowers with court debutantes this year.
Tho Queen's great lovo of artistic things and her antiquarian interests maljc the choice of gifts moderately simple. This year the members of tho household gave three watercolour drawings which their knowledge of Her Majesty's taste enabled them to chose with greater confidence than most peoplo would feel about such a birthday gift. Last year the gift took tho form of sonto Louis XIV. objets d'art.
