says Mr. Hunt. although many efforts have

II one wishes to carry the idea OF the

There is a jacket which is a little
larger than the boiero, and still not
quite the Elton. 1t is cut straight across
tae back, the length of the bolero, but
in the front the two side pieces extend
down almost to the waist line; these
pieces are slashed up in long points to
the bust line. At the end of each point
is a pom-pon of velvet ribbon, and two
or three ends of the velvet are fastened
to the belt, thus holding the jacket
front down; and, through the slashed
points, the fluffy front of a waist is
pulled.

royal dinner party, and as many things
Of grave importance7ar e discussed In
her hearing, she is bound over to strict
secrecy with regard to the doings and
sayings at court.
Thus a Maid of Honor-a woman to-
whose sex a-secret is generally thought
to be impossible-must guard every
confidence of the royal family, and look
every secret up safe within her heart;
the term, Maid of Honor seeming to
have in, this case a double meaning.
Perhaps the most trying point about
the work of a Maid of Honor is that
she is never able to sit down except by
the desire of her royal mistress.
The long hours of standing-so Sc
we're on a delicate woman's constitution
ARE the greatest hardship of the day,
much more fatiguing than hours of
mental or physical work; for, except
when driving or when hidden to join
the royal table, a Maid of Honor may
never voluntarily take a seat in the
presence of royalty.

main within call.
Permission must be first obtained be-
fore a Maid of Honor can receive a
friend or relative, and on no account
may she absent herself from the Castle
whilst Her Majesty is within.
The Queen is very particular with
regard to dress, and has preference for
plain, dark colors for morning use.
Her Maids, as a rule, are careful to
consider her taste in all matters where
their appearance and dress are con-
cerned. Each must provide herself with
a complete set of court mourning CO.'S
tunes and court gowns, and as fash
ions vary, and the Queen is much given
to change, the greater portion of the
two thousand dollars must be spent on
dress. =
In the afternoon and evening the
Maid may be expected to play an1

easy accomplishment-and to otherwise
entertain her royal mistress. Not in

appointment, Independent of the honor,
are many.
Two thousand dollars seems a goodly

can readily understand why the number

J eight Maids.
Yet it is quite a mistake to suppose
that the duties are merely nominal. The

strength Of the lady-in-waiting are in
cessant. Perhaps it will be interesting
to follow her day through, and so judge
for ourselves.
Osly two Maids are in waiting at a
time. and these divide the duties be-

wishes.

The sleeves of this waist were
worthy description, for they gave the
effect of the popular bishop sleeve by
means of an odd device. AT the Shout
der there began the tucking of the
sleeve; and this continued nearly to
the wrist, where the tucking suddenly
ceased and the sleeve fiared. At the
wrist it was suddenly brought in and
confined in a narrow band.
A very beautiful yoke trimming con-
sisted of a very wide band of butter
colored satin edged with a narrow ruff
fe. Upon the band there was a vine
appliqued in natural colors-small red
flowers and green leaves. A narrow
belt of natural coldred Heather was
worn.
Some of the black silk shirt waists
are quite charming. One of these was
trimmed with narrow ruffles of white
lace put ON to form a plaided effect.
A little bolero was outlined with the
%rufiies, and rufiles of the lace extended
rcund and round the sleeves. No
black waist but has its note of gold
and, in this waist, there was a tiny
cord of gold bordering the rufles. A
belt of black silk was latticed with
gold.
The lace bolero will be worn more
than ever this winter. The trihing lit
tie thing of open work lace or embroid-
cry is as appropriate to wear with the
heavy winter gown as with the light
summer CONNECTION.
Escurial patterns in lace will be used
for this purpose, and cream, not white,
will be most fashionable.
One very pretty 'bolero is made of
lace, the pattern of which is a large
morning-glory character of flower. The
lace jacket is cut with the usual round
ing corners, and comes but a very little
way below the bust line. There are
two revers which, turned back, are fast
ened with two small pom-pons of black
velvet ribbon Around the bottom of
the jacket is a band, about a half an
inch wide, of lace embroidered with a
gold thread. From under this and
comes a shirring of soft cream lace the
edge of which is tipped with the gold
thread.

The customs of court etiquette are

woman. She is not permitted to speak

This is the hardest duty of all-the
