The Duke of Gloucester was present, prior to his departure for Ulster. A pleasing ceremony occurred when the princesses and other grandchildren presented gifts. The royal servants toasted the Queen in champagne which was the King’s gift. The Sunday Dispatch pays tribute to her Majesty as standing for unchanging things in home life—integrity, virtue and kindliness. " Her Majesty has brought _ up children on the foundation of discipline, says the paper. “ She .s a woman before a Queen. Her regality heightens her other qualities, and recalls that, »n spite of taking her place in the Connell of State during the King’s illness and manifold anxieties, she found time to reply to letters from subjects, such as, ‘ Rub your husband's chest with camphorated oil when .bronchial signs appear.’ „ , “ Although the Queen is b 7, she rises at 8 n.m. for family breakfast at 9, and supervises the household affairs.”
