The Queen arrived at the bazaar planning to stay for a quarter of an hour; she was so fascinated that she remained for three-quarters of an hour. these are some of the things the And Queen bought,

A willow' tea set (1s.) A 21-piece ten set. (68.) A handbag (s. 11d.) A rug (2s. 118.)

A baby doll (5s.)

Two Bibles (18, 6d, each).

A volume of Shakespeare (3s,

6d.)

It was at the stationery stall, where there was a bright display of Eastern greeting cards, that the Queen stayed longest. The cards were distributed in sec tions for Father, Mother, Sis- ter, Daughter, Uncle, Aunt and Brother.

But after a moment she pro- duced a similar card to that the Queen bought; it was one **** the Queen had touched. It bore a A. S.
