period of attendance is always deter
mined by the queen. They serve two at
a time, and, during attendance, which
is usually four weeks, they reside at
court. During this time they must
be in readiness to obey her majesty's
commands, SEA- by the equerry. Now
that so few state entertainments are
given their duties are light. The queen
has really two lives-one her court life
Mt Windsor. the other her private life
at Balmoral and Osborne.
The maids OF honor in turn attend her
at all the state ceremoniaIs and bear
her company III her retirement. They
drive with the queen, read TO her. sing
to her, play TO her, or converse. as she
determines, using their special accom-
plishments for her pleasure. 4 clear
and beautiful handwriting is a neces-
stty, for they have many letters TO write
and copy; they must be good horse
women, and, Of all things, good mu
sicians. The queen is tond of music
and an excellent pianist herself, and
so is Princess Beatrice, who often makes
demands upon her mothers ladies for

of which the mistress Of the robes is

ROYAL MAIDS oE HONOR
Popular Order Just Issued by the
Czarinn of Runaia.

The young czarina is about to in
crease the number of her maids of
honor and of those who attend upon the
grand duchess of her court. This is
measure that meets with enthusiastic
approval, for the post of maid of honor
to any one of the imperial Processes
and more especially the empress-ir
most eagerly sought after by the noble
families of Russia. This measure does
not please Princess Kotchoubey, who is
the most important lady at the court Of
Russia. She is the high priestess of all
matters of etiquette, and is exceeding
~ conservative.
From time out of date it has been the
privilege of the royal ladies of Russia
TO receive personal attendance and serv-
ice from high-born damsels, the unmar-
ried daughters CT ncblemen and belted
knights. From the middle ages to the
present time it seems an understood
thing that their imperial mistresses
should find for them husbands of noble
birth and fortune, should dover them
handsomely il their parents are unable
to do so, bestow upon them costly mar
riage gifts, be present either in per-
son or by representative at their we'd
ding ceremonies and stand as sponsors
TO their first-born children. Thus, there
are many reasons why the post of maid
of honor is eagerly desired by all the
daughters of the Russian aristocracy,
and why the czarina's new determine
ton to add TO their number delights her
subjects.
In England many privileges accrue
from this position. Formerly the maids
of honor were chosen for their youth
and beauty-"the highest in rank and
the fairest;" but Queen Victoria selects
her ladies for their companionable quail
tiles, for their accomplishments, and
from motives of personal affection. On
being appointed they receive and enjoy
for life the title of honorable a sal
airy of 81 500 year, and the gift of S.. 900
when they are married. The latter sum
is, however, not given to a maid of honor
unless she has held her appointment for
a certain number of years.
The maids of honor are in waiting
three or four times a year, and their

1t is an easy matter TO stand up for
the poor under these circumstances
and to wish for ten-acre field Of
them to stand up for.
The young lady, Miss Schellbach,
who lost the money at Evanston, is
poor hut worthy person. She works
hard for her money, enjoys the re-
spect Of hel associates, and while
among strangers laboring honestly
and faithfully to complete tardy
education is robbed and prosecuted.
Why does not the Teller say a good
word for her? Because she has not
