A RECITATION..
The Queen stood for a quarter of an hour, while a sinali boy, Sidney Rossiter, recited a drama- tic poem.
Rossiter, who betrayed no sign of nervousness, is one of 340 pupils at the Rachel Macmillan Training Centre, at Deptford, S. E., which was visited by the Queen."
Twelve years old, Dolly Gibbs, recited. W. B. Yeats's poem, "The Fiddler of Dooney." Followed then another little girl, Cissie White, aged 11, who recited Julian Grenfell's "Into Battle."
"How very splendid," said the Queen to Miss Margaret Macmil. Jan.
Over the garden wall, two little boys in ragged clothes and with dirt-grimed faces watched open mouthed while the children were reciting.
A Tribute to the Queen In the cream, orange and blue building that cost £20,000 to build and which starts ita career entirely free of debt, the Queen had heard how nursery school teachers are to be trained there under Miss Macmillan for similar open-air schools in other slum districts.
The Queen later paid a surprise call at one of the model flats built by Deptford · Council.

A police Inspector knocked at the door of a flat in Clinton House. It was opened by a man wearing
an overcoast and a bowler hat.
The Queen would like to see your house," said the inspector.
"Certainly," gasped the sur- prised occupant, and the Queen walked in.

Astonished Tenant's Story.
The occupant, Mr. J. C. Conlay, unemployed lighterman, said Later: "I was just finishing my tea. when the knock came. The Queen was absolutely charming. "She shook hands with me, and almost her first question was if the flats suited us, and if we came from a slum."

A three-engined air liner on a night mail service left Brussels for Croydon in fair weather about midnight.

Croydon responded by furnishing hethe pilot with weather reports, but the conditions were so trea- cherous that the pilot continued his circular flight..

While the Queen was speaking to Mr. Conlay, the news spread quickly, and hundreds of women and children hurried into the courtyard to watch the Queen come out.
There was a burst of cheering, and the Queen stood smiling and bowing. Then the police cleared a way for her to the Royal car, and she drove off.
