that preceded Kduard's abdication
No one outside her tight circle ol

Queen Mary.
W hatever her ow n reelings, the
old queen has abided hy the de
cision of history. She has never
met (he American woman who
lieram. the flioliess of Windsor,
iier 'MIU bulhUa approached.
Queen Mary held rigidly to a
schedule that would have tired
many women half her age. In one
rerenl month she allended six
exhibitions. ,-, opera, a play and
lil led eight other public engage
ment ;
She goes to any and all sorts of
aftir.--hot.pital benefits, indus
trial iairs, book exhibitions, pottery
shows. Scotland Yard delighted her
by taking her nngerprints, and
solemnly keeping the impressions
for future reference.
She loves plays and movies. The
sound track of one Mini. "The
Wirked l,ady." was censored lor
fear it might nllcnd her. Hul she
turned up later at an uneensotcd
performance of the r. s, p,,v
Pick t'p Girl'' and. by her palron
agr. helped make it a hit.
One day rrcenlb,- she went with
the Ouche's of Kent and her chil
dren to Mine Tussaud's Wax
works, for Ihe first time in forty
vears. Attendants said she had a
wonderful time.
For all (hat mnsl f.ondoners have
seen her repeatedly, they form
crowds and applaud whenever
