OF whom she is the daughter, of whom

Victoria for her approval and if they pass

are forwarded the eager applicants.
on the day of the drawing room the APP

| palace and gives one to the page in wait
ing, stationed in the corridor, and the
other to the lord chamberlain in the pres
ence chamber who announces the names
| to her majesty or the Princess who Is
acting for the Queen. There are few old
| customs in vogue, such as a woman hav-
ing to be presented again on her marriage,
no matter If she was presented when a
| girl An unmarried woman cannot make
presentations.
If the Queen holds the drawing room In
| person the woman presented removes her
right-hand glove. places her hand be-
meath that of the Queen and kisses her
| majestys hand. When one OF the Prln-
cesses holds the drawing room ladies only
| courtesy and omit the hand kissing. The
courtesy is not slow and measured but
should be quick and graceful. Full in
| structions as to ones dress are always
given at the lord chamberlan's office.
Dorothy Drew's own account of her visit
to the Queen is given in a sketch of the
young granddaughter of the late Mr..
Gladstone in "The Young Woman's' for
March.
Her first view of Windsor Castle from
the train moved her to reflect that 1t was
| Gust as nice as our castle" Then she
| came very near getting excited, the two
| white horses and the royal carriage that
came to meet them, with the footmen be-
hind and the groom on horseback in front,
pleasing her very much And when Prin-
cess Beatrice met them at the door Doro-
thy, forgetting that queens do not meet
their subjects on doorsteps, imagined that
the Princess was her majesty. Dorothy
still relates how she and her mother had
a little sitting room and a bedroom, with
as IL they were going to stay all night;
how they sat down to luncheon with the
| "grownups," and how 1.-THE one who sat
| by me" was very nice.
"Have you ever met the Queen before?"
the lady-in-wsiting asked Dorothy.
mo, have not"
Haven't you ever seen herr" the lady
repeated.
"Oh, yes, I have seen her, but she has
not seen me-
Then Dorothy relates how she went
down the long corridor TO put on her new
white frock and her silk gloves, and how
a grand servant all dressed In red came
to say that the Queen was waiting.
1.-THE Indian man whom the Queen likes
| very much" was at the door, and the next
moment Dorothy stood before the great
Queen whom her "grandpapa' had serv-
ed for sixty years. To Dorothy she was
just another woman like her grandmama,
| with a white cap on her head and Doro-
| thy courtesied and kissed her. and told
| her her name was "Dorsie;" that she
called Mr. Gladstone "grandpapa;" that
| they all had pet names at the castle, and
so on, and so on, and many interesting
| pet names were revealed on both sides.
| 1.-THE Queen put on her glasses and ask
ed me to go to the other side of the room,
so that she could see me better" Doro-
| thy explains, land then she took a little
| jewel case and said; This is for you

brooch, with a diamond v and a diamond
| r and a turquoise I, and a little crown
at the top made of red enamel. courte-
| sled and kissed her hand and said, Thank
you very much She looked very nice and
kind, and 1 liked her very much"
Then the Queen kissed the little debut
| ante again, and Dorothy and her mother
returned TO town.
! The story Is also told that at Hawarden
one morning Dorothy refused to get up.
| When all other means had failed to coax
her out of bed Mr.. Gladstone was called.
why won't you get up, my chld?" he
| asked.
| why, grandfather, didn't you tell me 10
| do what the Bible says?" asked Dorothy.
| YES certainly"
"WelI, it disapproves of early rising;
| says it's a waste of time"
| Mr.. Gladstone knew his Bible better
than most men, but he was not equal TO
Dorothy. For once in his life he was non
| plussed.
