Court etiquette has been considerably re-
Taxed since Prince Albert's death, before
which it was very strict, as the Prince Con
sort was O. great stickler for the prophecies,
and had frequent occasion to remind the high
born young English ladies who were In at
tendance upon the Queen that they were ex-
pected to remain standing when Her MaJpsty
or himself were In the room, and that they
must not join, by word or laughter. In the
conversation unless specially addressed or re-
Quested to do SO. One of the maids OF honor,
who has since married a peer OF the realm,
was the fortunate pOSSesSor OF q magnificent
voice, and was one day hidden to sit down at
the piano and sing something. she declined
to do so, feeling nervous and forgetting That
q queens request Is taDtamount to a com
mand. The Queen insisted, but the lady
urged that she had a cold. "WelI, then, YOU
had better go to bed" said her Majesty. mo,
thank you" was the reply; but Ii you dom
mind, I'll sit down" and she did. Formerly
a royal parsonage took nothing from the
hands of any one who was not OF gentle
blood" and the Queen herself Is still very
strict in requiring that all the personal atten-
tion she needs, except at the table, Is rendered
by the ladies and gentlemen attached to the
court. The Prince Consort when out shoot
ing would never take his gun from the hands
Of a gamekeeper, but always required that Ii
should first be given to an eQuerry-in-waiting
The Queen Is in the habit of drinking q glass
of water every night before retiring. Louis
