Neither Is 1t policy ever to buy Sec

must have been about tn most varied
and extensive ever recorded in royal
annals, to judge from n list Of her
wearing apparel recently gathered
from the State papers. When the
Maiden Queen was sixty-eight, and
might therefore have been supposed
to have outlived some OF her youthful
vanity, she possessed ninety-nine COM
plete official costumes, 1O2 French
gowns, 100 robes with trains and six
ty-zeven without, l26 antique dresses,
1876 bodices, 125 tunics, not to men
ton such trlaes as ninety-six mantles,
eighty-fve dressing gowns and thirty
seven fans. With all these dresses,
however, it is curious to note that
Queen Bess only owned nine pairs OF
shoes. When she died in 1908 5000
articles OF apparel were found in her
wardrobe duly catalogued.
