She had mshy peculiarities. One of them was an abhorrence of curiosity, and people admitted to-her presence were^QpB warned by the ladies or gentlemen in waiting that the exhibition of unnsual Interest In any subject pertaining to her or to the affairs of state was displeasing to her majesty. The same feeling extended to servants. New employes about the castle were specially Instructed not to look at the queen when they entered her room or to show any Interest In her movements. The stolid Indifference of the East Indians Is said to have bee if the reason for her preference for them aa personal attendants. Another peculiarity was her dislike of conspicuous garments. Those who were in the habit of attending the queen were frequently made aware of this and her maids of honor and ladies In waiting were always careful never to wear a gown or ornament that wa* at all conspicuous or dress tbelr hair in any way to attract attention. In the pantries and corridors In the private part of Windsor castle were a set of'printed rules for the observance of the servants which are said to have been penned by her majesty’s own hand. They were neatly printed and framed, and hung where they were constantly before the eyes of those for

Kings and queens are not allowed to love and marry like common folks and are often compelled to sacrifice tbelr happiness for reasons of state, but Victoria was foriuaate in this respect. Like any other girl she fell In love, and the Interests of the nation were promoted by her choice of a lover. He was an exemplary husband. which cannot be said of every prince, and aa a wife and, a widow the only thought In her mind; next to the welfare of her people waa the happiness of her husband and her chil-

dren.

As It was sanctified by association with her hueband. she endeavored to preserve the privacy of Osborne so far as possible, and her ministers were forbidden to bring business there except wh?u it was abcolute'.y necessary. Prince Albert was the architect of the castle and superintended Its construc•tlon. His artistic taste appears In all the decorations, which he designed, even to the china upon the table, which la different from that used at the other residences of the queen.
