LONDON, March 25th. Queen Mary is having the novel experience of sitting for her por- trait to two artists at once. One of these is Mr. Richard Jack, RA.. and the other is Mr. Arthur J.

Few women cadang han straat experiences during the great war than Miss Flors. Sandes, who, going out to Serbia as a nurse, "jüst- Baturally drifted by successive stages from a nurse into a soldier." In a volume of reminiscences, "The Autobiography of a Soldier" (Whitherby, 106. ed.), she gives a extremely graphic account of her life in the tranches.

We are spared none of the horrors

One detachment of Bulgarians we came upon is a little hollow behind some rocks wàs a gruesome
sight. Several of our shells must have burst thers in quick succes sion. One group of four men seated round a still-blazing camp fire must have been killed simply from concussion.

the work in each case. Mr. Jack is painting, the Queen in full care- monial robes, and the picture, which will be exhibited in this years' Royal Academy, is to be a com- panion to that which he painted of King George, and Majesty liked very much indeed. The Queen has chosen for Mr. Newell's portrait an evening gown in her favourite shade of pervenche blue-the colour of her eyes. It has touches of silver, but it is madeed without a train and is of a simple style which is not likely to date..
Both artists hare discovered that Queen Mary is an édani aliter, beïnzhind the rocks, welcomed us with remarkably helpful and response in every way. She retain the faculty of maintaining the required pes without stiffness. One of the reads ladies-in-waiting usually akud to while away the tedium of sitting. The portraits are being painted in Buckingham Palace. After the personal sitting the cere- monial rebes or the evening gown according to which artist is in at tendance, are draped on a figure sad the work is continued.
