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-—integ-rity, virtue, and kindliness. “ Her Majesty has brought up children on the foundation, of discipline,” says the paper. “ She is a woman before a Queen. Her regality heightens her other qualities, and recalls that, in spite of taking her place in the Council 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 sixty-seven, she rises at 8 a.in. for family breakfast at 9, and supervises the household affairs.”
