professing a warm friendship for Am

Those who were ; present say that
every thing 'went off splendidly, and
that every member of the . court of

cided that as a prime minister Is more
of a luxury than a necessity, the va
cancsWia "ot be filled. .

pages and enwn bearer she presented
handsome gold stick pins, the ornament
al portion consisting of a' bird with
outstretched wings. In Its mouth the
bird holds a tiny opal, and the wings
of the bird are studded with small
