ANECDOTE OF THE QUEEN.
The following pleasant story truthfully illustrates the Queen’s kindness and* consideration. Mrs Lowell, the wife of the American Minister, is in very delicate health, and was unable to go to Court last season. This year, however, she resolved to run the risk of attending the first draw-ing-room, but was obliged to apply for* a. dispensation in small matter of costume.' In reply, Her Majesty, besides assenting to Mrs Lowell’s request, sent her a private message that she was on no account to come to theffirawing-room unless she received the permission of her medical advisers; and that, if they could not sanction her attendance at the Palace,' Her Majesty would have much pleasure in paying her a visit at the Legation. It is stated that Mrs Lowell was so much pleased at the Queen’s friendly sympathy that, in order to testify her appreciation of it, she attended both drawing-rooms.
