So eried the herald at the christening of the daughter of King Henry 8th, and Queen Anne Boleyn, in the year of grace 1683.

It was one of the grundest christenings ever seen. The baby wore a heavy velvet robe and a train it for a coronation, and priceless gifts were shower- ed upon her. But this baby, who started life as such a great princess, had many hard, bitter years to puss before she beenme a very great queen.

By the time she was there, her mother was behended, and the Lady Elizabeth, as she was then called, was so neglected that the kind nurse who looked after her wrote pitiful letters to different people, begging for a few night- gowns, or a little dress, because the child was in rags.

For several years she was sent from one person to another, and from an early age she was oblig- ed to go without the fine things which were given to her step-

Now it had not seemed likely that Elizabeth would be queen of Englund, but when her brother Edward 6th. died, and her elder gister Mary became queen, people began to wonder what would happen if Mary had no children. Mary was married to the King of Spain, who was hated in Eng land, and, as she was afraid of the people, she had Elizabeth

crown.

Never knowing when her last moment would come, Elizabeth dwelt there with no companions save her books, and the keepers' children who brought her flowers when she was allowed to walk in the Tower gardens. She was now seventeen, far too proud to show any fear, though she would sometimes ask the children if the scaffold set up for the last victim still stood.

THE BILLY BOYS' WORKSHOP. Making A Calendar Letter Rack.

Here is something you can make whenever you have time between

now and Christmas, when it will form a most useful

and acceptable gift.

The rack is fashioned from odd pieces of wood, a quarter-inch thick, with some moulding strip and an ornamental fret-piece for decoration. A tear-off calendar pad, which should measure about four inches by three, can be purchased quite cheaply.

For the back of the rack, saw and plane a piece of wood twelve inches long by six inches wide, and saw off the top corners to an angle of forty-five degrees. Then cut the front to the dimensions given at A, and cut away the two top corners to the
