died at lier country homo in Sandrintjliam today
Toward the latter years of her reign, Queen Victoria, of course,
was reverenced, with a depth of affectionate devotion and loyalty,
which lias never been surpassed in the history of Great Britain,
but her early life had been full of sorrow and disappointment!,
as far as her place in the hearts of her people was concerned.
Queen Alexandra, on the other hand, won. the affections of her
future subjects from the moment she arrived in London, in the
curly months of to become the bride of the I'rinee of "Wales,
and to the end never lost it.
There was a perfectly valid reason for thin The daughter of
King Christian of Denmark, Alexandra, perfectly fulfilled the Brit
ish tradition of what a I'riiiccss and a Queen sliould be. She was
beautiful, exceptionally beautiful, not only as a young girl, but
throughout her life. She was gracious and tender and generous,
and even more important was not German, for even as early as the
lute Victorian era, there was a rather widespread feeling in Eng
land that the Teutonic monopoly of tho Itoyal House had gono
too far.
Finally, Alexandra was not ambitions. She had no desire to
make herself felt politically. .She 'preferred to ,be seen, not hcacd,
lo confine her activities to her household, and doing acts of kind
ness and charity in a quiet and unobtrusive way.
This was the British ideal. Alexandra perpetually and consis
tently fulfilled it.
The Queen Mother never lost interest in her many philaiftliro
