"What does she want?" Mrs. Noah asked grimly. "Well, ma'am," Susan exploded, "she Wants to stay!" "Stay ?" her mistress repeated blank- ly, while John Philip, unreproved,. squirmed with delight.

And so it 'happened that Columbia :Farley entered the Brown family "on probation" and later was taken into • "full membership." • It was on a Saturday morning, a mouth' or more after •Columbia had been received into full membership, that the children were playing together ,in the garden.

Great interest was aroused recent- ly by the circunrstaneo that in a " grave national c 1e,is. when the Igiin. g was. for the moment inaccessible, the miniature of state were summoned to the presence of Queen Alexandra for r consul tionwasgenerally ta; with,as a understood, most satisfactory re- sults. This was quite a new depar- ture for the present reign, says Lon- don Tit -Bits. Of course, Queen Victoria played this . sovereign part constantly, but her late Majesty was the head of the state and it Was the proper course for her to pursue. Except when con- sidered as part of the King and Sov- ereign, Queen Alexandra ie not the head of the state. She enjoys a position of her own which is ab- solutely unique; Whilst ' it differs from that of the King italso differs. from that of any other lady, mar- ried or. single, or of any rank, and in some material ways it isalso differ- ent from, that of previous queen eon - sorts. . One of 'the most curious and in- teresting provisions in the law and customs of the state Is that tho Queen is, for private business pur- poses, not regarded as 'a married lady at all, She is the .only lady in Great Britain who .does. not , coma within the scope of the Married Wo- men's Property Act. Tho principle of the law is that the King is entirely • different from all other married men, and• that his time is too fully taken up with= the affairs - of state for him to have any left to •devote to do- mestic .matters, and that therefore the whole. management of the Queen's private business matters :must .de- volve upon Her Majesty .singly, and that n0 responsibility in respect to them rests upon the King: Therefore, if uc thingu s acol e _.h. d b . imagined as the Queen contraeting. debts in her husband's name, the Icing would not bo responsible .for: them, as any other husband would be unless he had given due noticeto tradesmen and all . others concerned that he 'would. • for' the future decline - to settle all such accounts. If the King contracted debts, the law •which 'says that His Majesty can do no wrong would prevent anybody from cuing him .for recovery 'of the amount due:: but no such protection is• granted to the Queen, who ,could be proceeded against in the ordinary manner. She has her own Attorney - General and ,Solicitor -General to re- ;'=present her in all legalmatters, though, . of course, except' for ordi- nary privatepurposes, their services are scarcely ever needed.. whilst the Constitution is glad to recognize a the Queen As art of the ( monarchy; it cannot lose 'sight . of the' fact that after all .her .'position is. lirfritod• to' that 'of (ween Consort, and therefore she : is in a .very largo sense one of His Majesty's 's sub ec s, and in certain cases; which there ' no hunian' possibility -of 'occurring in ,:' those tines, she would.13e•treated as a 'subject:: But, In other'. respects she la accorded. privileges. by thea omni which .are given to .no' other person except .the King.
