CEREMONY OF THE
PRESENTATION TO THE
KING AND QUEEN


to have been done away with; anyhow,
we saw some quite close to their ma
iesties several times that evening.
-aercas, Of yore, L remember hearing
how il made those who looked on quite
uncomfortable watching the noble
lords-in-waiting and others back the
whole way from the ballroom dais,
down the ballroom and long gallery,
right into the supper room, some of
them nearly breaking their backs in
the vain effort to do it gracefully,
wands in hand, in their smart court
costumes and white "tightsi"
1t struck me as 1 gazed and saw the
magnifcence around me what enor-
nous sums of money had been spent
upon the pageant of an hour. My own
dress had cost q matter of &200, the
regulation n-length of the
train being embroidered in silver and
pearls, and the jewels (Which seemed
handsome enough before L left home
sank into insignificance in comparison
with those around mel had cost at least
9S, 5000.
Supposing that there were 150O peo-
pie in the room, it might be computed
that their dresses, with their flowers,
had cost at least $500, 900, while as for
the jewels, millions and millions of
money must have been represented in
the great all-round crowns, the rivieres
and ropes of pearls, which were almost
dazzling in their cleaning and glisten-
ing beauty; and the whole entertain
ment, it is said, must also have cost the
king some thousands of pounds.-An

AT EDWARDS
COURT
~ -

our curtsies on a slippery and highly
polished floor, and the fact of not being
shaken hands with as of yore made
some a little nervous; the firm, kindly
clasp of her majesty's hand, which II
old days was invariably extended to
those passing with whom she happened
to have personal acquaintance, must
have been always reassuring.
However, after all, perhaps no one
required encouragement this time, as
! instead of perhaps ten curtsies we only
had to walk straight on, then face his
majesty, curtsey, make two steps on,
and repeat the same low bow to Queen
Alexandra, and they both bowed and
smiled most graciously in return, while
we walked straight on again, taking no
heed to trains, till in another moment,
: in the next ante-room, civil official
whisked cur trains over our arms.
1t had been a matter from start to
finish of under an hour.
After passing, everything was inter
estng and amusing, no crowd even in
the supper room down stairs, so L
stayed on and saw my friends comfort
ably. Otherwise, if it had not been for
difficulties in the cloak room L might
have been at home again in two and
q half hours after leaving. As it was,
l heard people saying rather nasty
things in the hall as at last we left,
our carriage having been round, and
than three times, which speaks pretty
we'll for the carriage arrangements.
The men came with their women folk,
at least those specially invited did, but,
of course, as they did not pass their
majesties We lost sight of them after
the sitting down in the first room (the
old supper room), but they rejoined US
directly we had passed by a passage
leading from the long gallery to the
first saloon, which we entered when our
presentations were over.
Altogether we thought the arrange
ments admirable. Later on, in the pic
ture gallery, we found a lot of friends
penned together (the only room which
saw corded off, but those. I fancy,
We're very late corners. However, their
troubles too were soon over as / saw
some of them twenty minutes later,
after having passed the king and queen,
and within two hours of our arrival
within the palace gates their majesties
and their suite passed us in one of the
drawing rooms on their way TO supper.
This same passing was a lovely
sight. and we thanked our stars that
we had not hurried off. as so many of
our friends did. as anything more regal
or stately 1 have never seen, not even

TO PREVENT A ROSTERS GROWING.

An English artist recently was sum-
moned to appear in court for allowing
a rooster to crow in the morning to the
annoyance OF his neighbours The case
was amicably settled. A London news
paper thereupon printed the following:
1t Is quite possible to keep fowls and
prevent them from Growing. All that
is needed is a slight string over the
neck and fastened to a foot Ii is the
habit of chanticleer TO throw back his
head when growing, and he will not
crow if prevented, as he may be. by the
string from doing so. The continuance
has the great merit Of inflicting no pain
whatever The bird scarcely knows Of
the presence Of the string till he tries
to crow, and a harmless jerk brings
him to order"

Experiences as to the kings courts
appear to be varied, but mine were
couleur de rose
In America 1 had read for so many
years about drawing room and drawing
room dresses, but, after all, descrip-
tons always fall very short of reality,
and what I had hitherto "seen through
a glass darkly'' struck me with an alb
solutely fresh sense of magnifcerce and
beauty when / saw it with mine own
eyes for the first time.
The beautiful palace in gala array,
with banks of lovely flowers in the hall,
and the gorgeous fiunkeys in their royal
dress, were in themselves imposing.
and then, too, the brilliancy and beauty
of the royal circle. with it's encourage
of diplomats and an endless stream of
lovely women, glittering with jewels,
and distinguished men wearing court
dress or uniform, with orders, all tend
ed toward a r-to-be-forgotten and
impressive sight.
The present court arrangements are
apparently quite altered from those
which were in vogue during the last
reign, and as even in the twentieth CEN
fury there always seems rooted Cd
lection to change, many people were
complaining of the new arrangements
and people spoke especially of the I'M
comfortable chairs, but one hardly ex-
pected on such occasion to find deep
and cosy lounges.
As it was, there were hundreds of gilt
red-seated rout chairs in every room
through which We passed, and person
ally / went through the whole ceremony
in the greatest comfort, with one exeep-
tion-in the cloak room, where the ar
rangements were certainly not good,
many people were kept an unconsclon-
able time waiting for their right wraps
In old days, / understand, people
waited for hours, out in the long gal
lery heading the grand staircase, then
in the state ball room, and again in the
three great reception rooms, to say
nothing of the long picture gallery and
then the fearsome anteroom where the
ladies' trains were finally let down; but
at this last, and my first, court, we.
being early arrivals, mounted the
grand staircase, walked straight down
the long gallery, and were ushered into
the supper room, where there were
chairs arranged in rows, providing sit
ting room for all.
So far there was certainly no cause
for complaint. We were detained here
for twenty minutes: in five minutes
more we had passed through the great
ballroom; another five and our trains
were let down in the small gallery ad-
joining, and We We're passing their
