Bowlby As one by one our friends pass from our sight into the land of eternal light, our thoughts are often so taken up with sorrow over their departure, that we lose sight of the wonderful happiness awaiting them. ‘as well as the end of all pain an ! weariness. So many when the word came that Mrs. M. E. Bowlby had gone Mqme, had a keen sense of the loss of a dear friend, and the passâ€" ‘ing of a beautiful spirit. But they also have been able to rejoice Over her release from sufféripg, and her entrance into the land that is fairâ€" er than day, and her reunion with those she "had loved long since and lost . awhile." j Mrs.: M.

The "Queenâ€"Mother A remarkable fact that seems to have escaped the obituary writers is that Queen Alexandra was only the second Royal lady in the past five centuries entitled to the style of Queenâ€"Mother. The other was Henrietta Maria, widow of Charles I., and it is doubtful if she was officially so styled, since she did not reside in England when her son, Charles II, was proclaimed King. The only other Consort to survive her husband was Queen Adelaide, widow of William IV., but as her two daughters had died in infancy, ~she became, on Queer Victoria‘s accession, Queen Dowagâ€" Mr.â€"and Mrs. S.
