WHAT A MAID OF
HONOR HAS TO DO

Since the death of Queen Victoria the
duties of a maid of honor have varied
considerably, but those under the i'm
preston that the post is a sinecure may
abandon this mistaken idea at once,
says London Answers. AS matter OF
fact maid Of honor goes on duty as
soon as her Majesty rises, and takes it
in turn to be in attendance upon her
until she retires at 11.30 or u o'clock.
Queen Alexandra is content with four
maids OF honor, whereas the late Queen
had eight. They are the Hons. Dorothy
and Violet Vivian, Sylvia Edwardes and
Mary Dyke. Il is customary for the
daughters Of peers TO be appointed to
the post, but should they have no title
they are permitted to adopt the prefix
of Honorable. The maids of honor are
under the Mistress Of the Robes, who
is at present the Duchess of Buccleuth
and for their services they receive a
salary of $500 year. If they marry
during their tenancy of the position
they are given a dowry OF 900 by the
Queen, provided they have previously
obtained her Majesty's approval of the
match.
It would be impossible for any one to
become a maid of honor who had not
received a first-class education, for her
duties are extremely varied. After

breakfast Queen Alexandra. when at
Sandringham, goes for a walk around
the grounds and visits her pets. always
in company with one of her maids, after
which she usually attends TO her cor
respondence. and II is usual for one Of
her maids to be in attendance and lend
her assistance whenever required. al
though the Queens private secretary is
also present This done. she will either
go for a drive or sit In the grounds
while a maid of honor reads to her
from the English. French or German
newspapers and magazines.
During the afternoon there may be
some State function to attend, and
however trivial II may be, il is neces-
sary for at least two OF the Queens
maids Of honor to accompany her. This
over, her Majesty returns TO the palace
for dinner, and, IL invited to do so, the
maid Of honor must be prepared to ap-
pear at the meal and sing or play to
the guests afterward All the maids
are very accomplished musicians and
good horsewomen, whilst at least two
OF them have exhibited undoubted tai
ent as amateur actresses. Should a
maid not have to dine with the Queen
she is allowed to spend her evening as
she chooses, and takes her meals with
the other members Of the household.

Chats.

to-.
Old and
Young
RaMa Hats Fashionable

Think Of looking to the Philippines
for fashions. and yet the modern
American girl has borrowed a smart
touch from her Filipino sister, and ii
is even more becoming to her fairness
than to the bronze hues of the origi-
nator.
It is the raffia hat, and it is some-
thing entirely new. Raffia is grass,
and a grass hat doesn't sound very
fetching, does it.? But the raffia hat
which the fashionable girl is wearing
is just the smartest thing imaginable.
1t is odd enough and original enough
to make every woman who sees 1t
want one, says the Woman's Home
Companion.
The raffia hat is made on a wire
frame. Strands of raffia are either
braided or twisted so that they entire-
ly cover the frame Of the hat. Raffia
is as light as a feather and can be dyed
any color, and a little less than one
fourth of a pound, which can be
bought for 10 cents, is sufficient for
making a hat which was Of green
raffia twisted about the wire frame. 1t
was trimmed with a big red velvet
bow, and where the brim dared at the
left side a cluster OF bright red cher
ries was caught. This was all. but the
hat was unusually effective. Its price
mark in one of the big New York mill
linery shops was SIS. 1t cost the smart
girl who copied it and made it herself
just $3.50.
She selected a becoming wire frame,
for which she paid 35 cents. She used
fifteen cents worth of raffia.
The cherries cost S1.sO; there were
three punches. The ribbon for the bow
which took three yards,was S1.2O, MAX
ing a total expenditure of $3.50. For
summer wear at the sea or in the
country the raffia hat is the millinery
fad of the day. Pale yellow hats of
Tia trimmed with black velvet
daisies with yellow centres are ex-
tremely effective, as are mauve hats
with pale lavender hyacinths.

Scarcity of Seamstresses

Modistes the country over are de-
ploring their inability to procure suffi-
cient seamstresses and are at their
wits end TO know how to fill their or
ders. This is true In both big and lit
tie towns, and out in Chicago a COM
mittee of dressmakers will ask the
Board of Education to include sewing
in the curriculum of the public schools.
The reason for this scarcity Of help
Is quite simple. Instead of mothers
teaching their daughters to sew while
they are small they allow them to run
wild, and just as soon as they are old
enough to work, either encourage or
allow them to go into the shops or take
other positions.
Sewing already is taught i'm the
Wilmington public schools, and the re-
cent exhibition of the work of the pu-
pills was a credit to them and to their
instructor.
