The death from influenza of the Duke of Clarence in 1892 stunned the nation as well as his grief- stricken parents, but no one felt the blow more keenly and severely than the Princess who had been so eagerly looking forward to her Wedding dfly. Queen Mary at no period of her lifn could ever be de- scribed as emotional. but the death of her fiancee almost resulted in a breakdown and it was deemed advis- able to send her away 0n e, pm. lvilged holiday abroad, to recover from the shock.

The first home of the King and Queen as man-and-wlfe was the charminz and unpretentious Ycrk cottage on the Bandringham estate. Bfuilt by King Wdward to accommo- date his bachelor guests. York Cot- tflee could not be described as an ideal Royal residence as far as size

the young Duke and Du-hess oi York fell in love with it from the first day they crossed its threshold. Its very smallness had the effect oi deepening the bonds oi affection and understanding fast growing be- tween the Royal couple, and to this day the King and Queen cherish the memory of their first home.

In York cottage all their child- ren, with the cxcenion of the Prince oi Wales, were born. The Prince first saw the light in white lodge.

Mall residence the present King and Queen went in 1502. It was in this house that King George was born, but it is said that he has never cared much for it. The Queen, how- ever, ls a real Londoner at heart and once she settled down in a London home it was not long be- lore she had made her unmistaka- able mark upon it. A good many articles of out-of-date furniture were removed and. replaced. and the whole house brightened up and renovated to meet the needs and requirements of a young and grow- ing family. '

The Queen is one oi the most home-loving and house-proud wo- men in the‘ world and there is no household detail, no matter how small or trivial, that escapes her notice or intere ‘. As a mother, she was and is a strict disciplinarian and if the Royal children wanted any special favor or concession they

When she accompanied her hus- bad to Ireland on a State visit in 1899 and later on an llmipire tour, her somewhat stiff and distant manner was commented upon, sometimes uniavorably. by many people; but the explanation of this was simply shyness and innate modesty,

"I wish I had learned ‘small talk’ she once remarked rather wistiully to a prominent political hostess noted ior her wit and conversation- al brilliance. and it is a ‘fact that l-ler Majesty has never mastered this facile art. Only within the King and her family and near relatives is the Queen completely at ease and if the public could see her on-these occasions, they would hardly know her.

Both the King and Quene love to talk over events of the day and re- call past episodes when they are alone or with their family. With- out the slightest exaggeration. there is not a happier married couple in the world than King George and Queen Mary. when in July, 191B, on the anniversary oi their silver wedding, Their Majesties were pre- sented at the Guildhall with a cheque of 53,000 pounds to be dis- tributed among their favorite char- ities at their own discretion, the King's voice shook with emotion when he referred to the Queen and their happy married life together.

The years of union have increas- ed, if possible, the admiration of the King for the sterling character and unfailing common sense of his Consort. Before taking any step in private or public the King always seeks the Queen's advice and if she is not. in favor of any pmposal. nothing will induce the King to go on with it.

Despite her careful and rather sheltered upbringing. the Queen is extremely practical-o. fact which particularly appeals to the King. reared as hi! was in the Navy. Hts Majesty is never really happy or at ease unless the Queen is by his side, and this is the reason why Her Majesty oftren accompanies the King to functions and places which dc not interest he; at all.

Three oftheir children are now married and it took Their Majest- ies some time to realize fully that they were now grandparents. The marriage of their only daughter. Princess Mary, to Viscount Las- celles in 1922, was n, notable event in their lives, and observers at the ceremony at Westminster Abbey did not fail to notice the emotion of the Queen as her daughter stood at the altar.

The Duke of York's marriage to Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Ilyon the following year delighted both the King and Queen as well as country, and the Duchess oi York is now on; of the Queen's dearest and most cherished friends. Their Majesties are devoted to their fcur Grandchildren. and the fine sons of their daughter and the dcbghtfn‘ two childwm of the Duke oi York. are ever-welcome guests at Buck- ingham Palace, Smdrinzham, or Windsor.

‘The recent marriage of Prince George to Princess Marina of

Greece was another happy family

event.

Unlike many parents. the King and Queen never made a special favorite of any one of their child- ren. Thclr youngest, Prince John, who died in i919. was the most delicate oi all the Royal family. The Queen naturally’ devoted special st- tentlon to him from his birth to his early death and it was a Brest grief to the King and Queen w'~en they lost their charming ehll" so prematurely. but all the other children were treated alike by Their Majesties.

If the Queen could be persuaded to speak on the subject, however. there is little doubt that it would be revealed that she is very proud of her eldest son. The Prince of Wales once smiling told a. head- master than when his mother prais-

The coming of the wireless has pleased no one more in the world than the King and Queen. Both are extremely fond of music and all good entertainment, but sometimes the formality and ceremony which a visit to a theatre or concert-hall inevitably entails. prevents Their Majesties from seeing and hearing much that they Wflllld like t0 0M0?- Being but human, Their Majesyties on their very rare free periods. pre- fer to rest at home if they feel

on the wireless is now a favorite Royal recreation and diversion. The King. perhaps, is keener on air entertainment than the queen is. but l-ler Majesty this last year or two has" become almost as en- thusiastic a radio “fan" as the King. His Majesty prefers light music and humor, while the Queen is very partial to informative talks. Both the King and Queen are secretly amused at the great differ- ence in character and temperament between their four sons. The Prime of Wales with his zest for life and movement is in striking contrast to the Duke of Gloucester‘ who , '

a quiet existence with one or two friends. while Prinie George's love for highbrow music and literature is not shared by the practical and mechanical-minded Duke of York. But. as a family, there is no happier one in the country. The King does not hesi- tate to "lay down the law" to his adult children when necessary and the Queen's words still carry great weight with all her famib’.

"I do not think you ought to do that, David," is quite enough for the Prince of Wales. when it comes from the Queen, and it is said perhaps more frequently than the public may realize. During the twenty-five years of their reign the fact that neither the King nor the Queen have ever blunder-ed or made a wrong move, is a. wonderful tribute to their sagacity and it is due to the frank and thorough way Their Majestlcs discuss everything be- tween themselves.

The King, while always healthy. was never a. robust man and he is the first to admit that were it not for the Queen's unfailing care and attention all through his married life he might never have reached his seventieth year. At a recent race-meeting the King made a move tc take off his overcoat ow- ing to the mildness of the weather. but when the Queen said "I think it would be better to keep it on," the King accepted the suggestion without demur. _

Once, when touring in Bootian‘. and inspecting some new horses. the Queen noticed that the King was standing in a. draught from an open window, and without more ado, Her Majesty walked forward and closed it. l At a. Health Exhibition in 1on- don last year, the Queen showed that she took e, practical interest even in the socks that the King wore. "The King likes heavy socks." she told a stall-attendant and pur- chased three pairs oi such a type to "take home." "

It is their, perfect married life which has done more than anything else to endear the King and Queen to their people. They are frankly home-lovers and have all the typi- cal British love for domestic things and homely ways. Their staff of servants is naturally a huge one. but their Majesties know most of them by their name. Even when they leave the Royal service-either on marriage or through old age or illness-the King and Queen's ser- vants are never. forgotten.

IN MEMORIAM

Ml. JAMES DRAKE

One of the best known and most highly respected residents of Meadow Banks passed suddenly and peolcef-uily awo/iy on Tuesday amusing Iiiebruairy 2th in his 83rd year, in the person of Mr. James Drallce

His death was a shock to h/is marry triends, beloved by all who lmew him and as a father had few equals. At his passing the whole community ielt the loss very keenly as was evidenced by the large nurmber who assembled at the furlerai on Thursday afternoon to pay their last tribute 0'1 respect.

Rev. D. K. Ross conducted the service, while speaking very tenderly of *‘ -' and 1- ‘tiug worm

when staying in 5n last year, the Queen paid a surprise visit to a woman who was once in her service at Balmoral and stayed for tea in the humble home.

If King Edward and his Queqn Alexandra had a. wider circle of personal friends than the present King and Queen. they certainly had no more loyal and faithful ones. King George and Queen Mary pre- fer married people for friendship and company and not all their vis- itors‘ names appear next dav in the "Court Circular." People who were their friends in their early married life are always warmly wel- comed bv Their Majestles, and on these visits ceremony and formality

m‘ are dispensed with.

Not for one moment have the King and Queen ever mgretted their rather dramatic marriage. Many will recall the sensational libel case which the King raised against the write,- of a book which repeated the old calumny that King George as a young man mar- |ried a. certain lady in Mflta. He had not been long on the Throne when the case was taken up. but His Majesty was determined to nail the lie to the public counter. It was with considerable diiiioulty that the King was prevented from per- sona“, entering the witness-box. but he ultimately bowed to his advisers who held that a Reigning Sovereign could not be a wits-less in a law court. The King, of course, won the case and nothing sir-cc has been heard of a wicked lie which had pained the King and Queen all through their married life.
