the social duties connected with hIs officIal position are concerned This workingman's daughter who until her fathers father's elevation to the th lived in an unpretentIous cottage and knew nothing nothing- nothing of the ways of royalty or wealth or fashionable society hason has won on on her way straight into the heart of Queen Mary herself In many ways ays the Queen has mad made It plain that she he is very fond of MIss Ishbel and aud is taking the girl under her herI specIal protection From now on the I PI emler's daughter will have the benefit of the Queens Queen's experience and advice in III dealing with all aU the difficult socIal problems that confront her as the mis mIs- mIstress mistress tress of her fathers father's household and anybody who ho takes exception to any any- anything anything thing she does will have to lay the brunt of the blame blam on the th girls girl's royal teacher which is of course qUIte quit unthinkable t able Within the short time sirce tire Ishbel MacDonald was as first presented to her sovereIgns Queen Mary has formed for her what hat seems to be a stronger at- at attachment at attachment than she the has ever formed for any young woman outside tho royal famIly Miss Ishbel's Ishbel sImple simpi unaffected ways t and her sunny smile have quickly un- un unI unlocked un unlocked I locked a heart which many girls born borni i to wealth titles ar and ard d hIgh places in the smartest society find very difficult and often quite impossible of access Tho girl seems seems to have bavi hav found some one todo to todo todo do for her many of the things her dead mother would haib ha has u done and tho Queen to have hate hl e added another daughter to her household And to all appearance oth are delighted with Ith their mutual at- at attachment attachment at attachment What has ha happened ii is the th more re- re remarkable remarkable re remarkable because Queen Mary with Ith all alli j i her admirable qualities is a rather cold forbidding woman one who makes new friends slowly Iy and whose whoso warm ships are arc limited in number It seems to be a case of two women who vho are drawn to each other by some irresistible inborn n affinity Of course there can be no doubt of the wonderful advantage the friendship sill III be to Ishbel MacDonald it sr her new and exalted station III in life and many think the Queen will also derive no little profit from it through the better insight It will give her into the struggles struggle and aspirations of the great masses of her objects I I The recent private personal visit which

democratic much to give Miss Ishbel an opportunity to observe ob ervo Queen Marys Mary's hou housekeeping methods and to study the details of court etiquette of as as to show royal favor to her distinguished father What a glorious week eek end that was for Ishbel and how many of other girls will wish that they mIght have havo a similar opportunity From the moment of her arrival the Queen devoted de- de devoted de devoted voted herself especially to her and each days day's program was planned to so that her maJesty and the th young oung woman could have many quiet hours alone together The Tho apartments to which Miss Ishbel was as escorted escorted almost almost largo large enough to hold the little cottage where sh she for for for- merly lived lead lived had been under the Queens Queen's personal supervision The books and pictures the flowers and everything else elso were wele what the tha Queen thought her gue guest t would best enjoy The rooms at are ones that aro are never occupied except e by a specially favored close guest close to th the Queens Queen's own on rooms and a part of the th sUite suit occupied by the th Princess Mary l before her marriage On the Saturday afternoon when the th Premier accompanied the tho King to the new stadium at Wembley to see n a foot foot- football football ball game gam the Queen personally showed Ishbel over the historic castle casti From Queen MaryB Matys lips the girl heard hemd the fa fascinating storIes of the th fabulous treasures that make mak the castle one of the worlds world's wonder the places places th costly tapestries the th quantities of rare china and a bric-a-brac and the famous Windsor gold plate estimated to be ba worth st at least Although Ishbel saw taw the tho famous plato plate and gasp gasped cd at its magnificence cence it was not used during the stay at Windsor Castle Queen Mary doubt doubt- doubtless leas doubt less feeling that guests unaccustomed to visiting loyalty royalty would feel more at ease with a n loss less los massive and costly table service For th the samo same reason the tho dinners were not served at the terrify terrify- terrifyingly terrifyingly long board which usually marks these royal roial ro al functions but at cozy small V tables set in the th oak dining room where the prIceless tapestries are hung After dinner on Saturday evening King George escorted Queen Mary and Miss MacDonald to the historic suit sUIte of drawIng looms where Queen Quen VIctoria standing on her little royal roil rug used to hold her prim dinner after-dinner courts Then the King retired to enjoy a smoke with the Premier and the th other male guests leaving the Queen and Ishbel to haH hai a heart heal t t lk The Tho public has hils no means of knowing Ing what hat the th two women talked about but It feels confident that much of their con con- conversation conversation conversation concerned the th difficult social problems Ishbel MacDonald is ii facing It is believed that the th Queen sympathies sympathises with the es a gIrl of such humble origin encounters on suddenly lifted into a sphere of lIfe where she iho has to nuncio with Kings and Queens and other of the worlds world's most distinguished men and women In view of the great liking the Queen nJ hJ sho shown n for the th Pren Premiers Premier's era daughter It is probable that she sho gave many of the problems the girl faces the tho full benefit of the royal wisdom and c experience e and promised aid lid in the future in any sImIlar perplexities It can be imagined how many things there were which Ishbel MacDonald I must have hav been eager to ask Queen Marys Mary's advice about a as soon as she found out how friendly and sympathetic and ready to help her was as There is so much for n a girl bred as Ishbel MacDonald has been to learn learn- learn the proper ways wis s of addressing royalty and people of title the order in which distinguished guests should be b seated at atthe atthe atthe the dinner table the costumes s to wear wearon wearon wearon on state occasions and so on through an Inter interminable mable list of things whose dis- dis discussIon discussion dis discussion would fill many volumes Doubtless they discussed not only problems of etiquette but more prosaic matters such as liS the choice of menus for luncheon or dinner the management of servants and the th arrangement of the table glassware and silver In spIte of the royal crown she sha wears Queen Mary prides herself on being a thoroughly practical housewife e It is said that she sho makes her own and lingerie lingerie and its it's not of silk either On the personally conducted tour of the castle on which she took Ishbel earlier in the day she he had shown not only the historic and artistic treasures that crowd the place but also such usually unrevealed features as the tho kitchens pantries serving rooms cellars and linen closets Of these the Labor lenders leaders daughter proved a very very in intelligent in- in intelligent intelligent observer for she is lS now com com- completing completing a couise COUlse in domestic economics at London University Certainly Ishbel MacDonald has rea roa- rea- rea reason reason son to feel fed proud and delighted over the theay way ay she hason has won on on Queen Mary for a liend and a advises To receive lessons In etiquette and dress and the manage manage- management management ment of a household from the th Queen herself is an honor and n a privilege whIch probably few if 1 any girls outside the royal family ever enjoyed The rhe Th remarkable friendship that has sprung up between the Queen and the Premiers Premier's daughter is making them more popular the public than be- be be foi be-foi fOI foie c Friends of the th regard it

to kings y yand and queens dukes and duchesses and all a r the lest rest of earths earth's mighty ones I The news that Queen Mary is taking such sucha a friendly interest in Ishbel Mac Mac- MacDonald MacDonald t Donald onald and is so ready to gUIde guid her in socIal and bou household matters brings great relief to those sticklers for form and tradition who have been afraid that the new Labor ministers and the women I of their families might through theIr I lack of experience with smart social af- af afI af affairs I fairs disgrace the tha nation by varIous I I shocking breaches of etiquette As far as the family of the th PrIme I Minister is concerned there thero is little danger of anyone's any ones one's being shocked by bythe bythe bythe I I the balancing of peas on a knife

Can it be he that tactful Queen Mary hid this very possibility in mind whey she so readily took tools Ishbel MacDonald to her heart and invited her to study royal etiquette and housekeeping methods at Windsor Castle I Perhaps ps but even so the triumph of the thc Labor leaders leader's daughter is none non the tho I less notable The Queen would hardly have la lavished so eo o much attention on her If she sh were not an e extraordinarily clever and winsome young oung woman oman f Americans who h have met Miss Mis Ishbel MacDonald all agree agre that she the Ismore is moro more A like the young
