KISSING vIcroRIA's HAND.
Some Things 1t Would be Well to Know
if You Think of Calling on the Queen of
Enrland.

Joel Benton "a Neir York Lsdger.
Court customs now, in England are
much Simplifed, owing it is said, TO
to Queen Nictoria's and Prince Albert 5
arrangements: but they would still seem
extreme i'm our WccremoniouS land. To
be received at court, one must have an
invitation i'm the Lord Chambeain's
name. who is the head OF the Queens
household. This officer walks before
her majesty i'm state procession, and
stands next 10 her at levec or
drawing room. where he announces the
name of each guest who approaches the
royal presence The lord chamberlain has
the palace key in his custody and con-
ducts the Queen TO her carriage. There
is also vicc-cham berlain. The lord
steward has the whole direction of the
royal household below stairs" The
treasurer Of the household, the comp
troller of the household. the master of
the horse and the master of the buck
hounds have duties which their titles
mark out. and they carry wands OF Of
fee. The master of the horse is the
'only one who can use the sOvereign'S
horses. carriages, pages or footmen. "
Tire are also attached To the royal per-
son a captain of the yeOmcn OF the
guard. private secretary. keeper Of
the queens private purse. master of
ceremonies. lords i'm waiting, gentlemen
ushcrs of the private chamber, equer-
rieS. pages of honor, etc.
These last are dressed in antique cos
tune, and attend at receptions and on
state occasions. The groom of the robes
and the young pages carry her majesty'S
train on state occasions. There are
also maids of honor. mistress of the
robes, ladies in waiting, etc. The
maids Of honor have the title of "honor-
able" and when they marry receive
present of 1000 from the queen.
Foreign ministers are received at
court after complicated order OF pre-
cedence. which sometimes causes irrlta-
ton between these representatives OF
different nations. In former years,
actual hostilitics have been provoked by
disputes concerning rights of favor.
Only ministers, among diplomats, can
ask an audience Of the sovereign. y
cousu or charge d'atfairS may,
when representative of the min
lister. in his absence only.
Visitors require two cards TO attend a
queens rcception-one 10 be left with
the queens page in attendance in the
presence chamber. and the other to be
delivered to the lord in waiting, who
will announce the name to her maieS-
ty." To other members of the royal
family who stand near the queen in re-
cciying, only courtesy is made, in a
general way, to all.
After passing the royal company at
levees only the ministers and great
officers of the household remain long in
the throne room" And lat the draw
ing-room, only the ladies of the minis
tiers, of the great officers of the house
hold and of the foreign ministers can
remain after the procession has passed
along and separates.
