A QUEEN'S THOUGHTS.

Queen Elizabeth of Roumania (Carmen Sylva) lias sent a most interesting contribution to the Duchess ofSomerset’s Pino Art ’.Stall at the Queen’s Pete in aid of the Lord Mayor’s Cripples’ Fund, which was opened by. His Majesty at the London Mansion House. It consists of a number of handsomely - bound volumes in each of which ‘ ‘ Carmen Sylva” has written and autographed a thought for the day, and in each of which she has placed a signed characteristic portrait of herself. We quote the following thoughts Caro is the old stone you lean your arms upon ; love is the living water that breaks through a rock of trouble. A warm heart, a bright homo, and lovely work —that is woman’s realm. Therein she is ruler, and nobody can oust her. , ,

Woman’s work ought to be holy work, delicate and tender, beautiful and sweet, like a continued caress. The sad and mad longing for power and the grasping of it has brought more misery into the world than the phantom is'worth. Love once more; perhaps this time you may succeed in being loved back again. Enemies are only useful as long as you are rising. .Once at the top, you must do away with them by making them your friends.
