QUEEN MARY
AMAZINGLY ENERGETIC. KEEN INTEREST IN ART. [ Per Press Association. ] AUCKLAND, Nov. 23. “Queen Mary is a strong and amazingly energetic woman,” said Lady Cynthia .Colville, senior woman of the bedchamber to Her Majesty, who arrived by the Aorangi this afternoon with her husband, the Hon. George Colville, secretary of the Chartered Accountants' Society and the latter’s sister, Hon. Mrs. Britten. “The Queen attends to a very great deal of private business without the assistance of secretaries. She reads a good deal and is very well informed, though she does not interfere in politics. One of the outstanding things about her is her extraordinary memory.”
Lady Cynthia added: “One of the Queen’s major concerns is her interest in art, and in respect of her collections, particularly Chinese jade, she is more expert than an amateur.”
