AMUSING ACCIDENTS,
Attending One of queen Victoria's Draw
ing-Rooms Is IL Serious Matter.

Attending One of queen Victoria's Draw
ing-Rooms Is II Serious Matter.
It is no easy matter to handle the huge
court train at first, and how to make Il
courtesy gracefully and rise again with
out tripping over the train, or disturb
ing the set of it, is an art which has to
be regularly learned by the young ladies'
who go to court for the first time.
The usual plan is to go and learn from
n dancing mistress; other girls are
learned by their mothers. But, in any
case, the form OF practice is the same.
y heavy tabIecloth is pinned on to the
girls dress SO that it sweeps along the
ground like a train, and, thus arrayed.
the girl advances, courtesies, rises and
backs again and again until she is able
10 manage her appendage with ease.
The business of making a courtesy
also requires practice a.d muscle, for
it consists in sinking down almost

ward the while. On one occasion when
ii very stout lady had reached the lowest
| point of the courtesy. she found that she
had lost control over her muscles. and,
instead of rising, rolled over on the
floor, from which she was assisted TO
rise by the lord chamberlain.
a similar accident happened to an
other very stout lady, but she always
| declared that she would have been alI
| right but that as she rose she distinctly
felt tug at her train, just as If som
scne had troddcn on it. and she was sure
| that Lady n, who came after her. ha |
done it on purpose, in order to crafty
little private vengeance by causing
poor Lady Y. to make an exhibition OF
herself before her sovereign.

Just behind each lady as she courtesies.
1t is his business to catch any lady who
may overbalance herself. and to avert
any similar catastrophies.
The most startling incident that has
occurred at a draWing-room of late
years was the queens refusal to receive

worn, have to be declied with jewels
smart. Narrow gold belts are as COM
mon as last year wider ones were.
Canvas is almostas popular summer
material as grass linen; indeed, is often
used with it, the canvas for skirt, the
linen for bodice. White alpaca and
white serge daintily vary the prevail
ing browns and ycllows. Batistcs and
grenadines are to be much worn.
For bicycle riding, use a short skirt.
The boomers would be in every way
better if reason ruled, but in the mat
tcrs of attire feminine reason doesn't.
The FURNISHED iris of shot silk
would seem almost lovely enough of
itself, but the capricious fancy of the
present spring demands a mixture of
three colors or preferably with figures
and flowers dotting their changing
sheen.
For children, girls as we'll as boys,
there's nothing more pretty and modish
than sailor suit with perhaps a
boatswain's cord and whistle worn
loosely about the neck.
The parasol of figured or shot silk
is more frequently seen in comparative
ly plain makes as summer nears and
renders a shade really necessary.
Jackets and waists still have the
stick-outy effect at the hips rem
inisccnt of basque days.
Flowered silk waists are in demand
for hot weather afternoon ard informal
evening wear. ELLEN Osborn.

knew of her private reputation. and
so, though the lord chamberlain pro-
tested that, having been passed by the
office and Ly the queen herself at the
scrutiny of candidates for presentation,
the lady was entitled to be presented,
her majesty persisted that she bad not

Mrs. - had to turn back and leave the
palace unpresented.

and curlcd in the most approved fash

delighted with him at any other time,
but on this occasion they were all in
mortal fear that he would spoil their
dresses. He made his way gradually
toward the throne room, and was just

well directed kick headed him back
into the ante-room. lie retired with Il

looked toward the sound. Then lie
disappeared just as he had come, with
