QUEEN'S VISIT TO CHILDREN. : LONDON. December 8. The Queen, after visiting evacuated children in Hampshire and Sussex, spent the night as a guest at the Earl of Bessborough's home. Stansted Park. Hampshire, and then motored to Chichester. Wearing a black velvet coat and a black hat—in mourning for the Princess Louise —her Majesty inspected kitchens and waited patiently while the Women's Voluntary Organisation served a midday meal to 250 children. Then the wife of a bank manager served the Queen with a similar lunch, consisting of stewed steak —the Queen said, "No onions, please"—potatoes. jam tart, bread, and a mug of water, at a total cost of 3.'d. The Queen congratulated the women present on the great national work in acting as foster-mothers to city children. Her Majesty conversed with an eight-year-old Londoner, who declared, “I want to go home." The Queen replied. “You must be a brave boy and wait until the end of the war.”
