Never since her long period . of. widow-
hood'began has the Queen of England taken
so much interest in theatrical and operatic
entertainment in She evinces this winter.
Her Majesty has. listened to : two opeeita;
One given by the Carl -Rosa -Company, the
other by the more pretentirius .organization
of Bit Augustus Harris. Thi, Quets's tastes
are cosetopohtan. She is an inveterate.

interest as that displayed by her subject.
_When she hears otany entertainment that

is highly popular with. her people; its man-
ager generallyteceives the royal command -to
give a performance at Winclsor.ot Balmoral.
Thus the. Queen -within recent Uhler& has
Atighed over Charles' Wyndham, - shivered
over 1Henry Irving, been lulled by Sir
Arthur Sullivan's "Ivanhoe" and thrilled
with Buffalo Bill's " Wild Wst." For ..20
years !back court life has been extrenaely
dull for the numeeous princes, princesses,
attaches and ladies in waiting. But lately
the Queen liai declared Such a lively taste
for. entertainment that the heir apparent
recently avowed that with the tragical
elements left out Windsor .Castle was be-
ginning to remind the Princess of Walee of
the .festivities which • her royal ancestor;
.fian-ilet, encouraged at Elsinore; Her
,Mejesey. has a strong preference for MUSte
over any other form . of entertainment. It
ill stated by 'those acquainted with court

'opened and the hall gets a thorough trentil

at. 8.30 the royal gaeits are seated, each

At 9 &chick the Queen enters attended by

•Majesty- is Of a critical ,turn, and at inter-
vals during the performance - writes her
opinions on a pad of note paper concerning
the merits or-qaults of the artists. When
she enters everybody stands up and the
orchestra of 56. musicians plays "God Save
the Queen." This ended, the royal lady
waves her hand and the opera begins.
There is, no entr'acte -music, the period
between - the ecenes being. engroesed by
refreshments of cake and 'champagne served

ventures to,.appland until the Queen claps
her hands, -upon which • signal the lorde
and ladies, guiding the expression of their

are put te their hardest task. The princi-

to ,get rid of their grease paint and appear

A tiny garden can be made by cutting a
piece of sheet wadding to fit the top of a
_bowl or a, wide-mouthed jar, which is filled
• with water just high enough for the bottom
of the waddieg to touch it. Two .or three
small bits of charcoal will keep the water
pure, and- when all is arranged the top of
• the wadding is _sprinkled with seeds of mig-
nonette, sweet pea or any other easily
grown plant. The- roots pierce down
through the wadding and are nourished by
the water, whilei leaves and blossom, in a
reasonable time, conceal the top.
