What Ii Means to Be Maid
of Honor TO a Queen

The post OF maid OF honor to her
majesty, Queen Alexandra. is much
coveted by the English girl IN the
higher ranks Of society. FOR. while the
duties may be ODerous, the position
carries with 1t many privileges, not the
least OF which Is the daily intercourse
with her majesty. For the Queen IS
most kind and considerable toward her
maids Of honor. and when they leave
her 20 be married she continues her
friendship and interest IN Ehem to a
marked degree
Usually the children or grandchildren
or peers. the maids have qualifications
other than those Of birth in order 70
carry out their duties successfully Tact
is an essential, and ready adaptabnity
TO the calls made upon them
They must be bright and cheerful I'm
their CompaniOnship. and among their
most. necessary accomplishments fiuency
in al least two languages IS desired. for
not alone IS there much reading aloud
to be done. but foreign correspondence
also. the Queen being related TO many
royal families in Europe.
Probably the maids OF honor might
call short Of the requiT ements OF their
duty were il not that long before the
appointments take place the royal choice
is made known, and the training is be-
gun. Musical the maids must be. for
the Queen likes them 10 sing and play
10 her while she paints or embroiders.
and is an accomplished pianist herself
Fortunately, most English girls are
well educated. not alone il indoor. but
in outdoor affairs; therefore. 10 angie
TO play golf 20 ride, and 70 drive is
quite an easy matter to them when they
are in attendance on the Queen, while
wise is the maid Of honor who shows
skill IN her majesty's favorites hobby,
photography.
The description Of all these accom-
| plishments sounds like perfection. and
certainly needs some self-denial In train
/ ing. but the rewards are many. The
maids have several horses In the royal
| stable dedicated to their use; the royal
carriages convey them wherever they de-
/ sire 20 go; they are privileged persons
/ of the encourage, and their travelling ex-
! penses are nil Beyond their own per-
| sOnal dress their outlay need be trihing.
/ Queen Alexandra. one OF the best
! dressed women in England herself, hat
/ urally likes her maids Of honor TO dress
/ well. She prefers simple elegance, and
| has a distaste for large picture hats:
otherwise her young companions have
| free choice in, apparel, and take prloe
( in gaining appreciation from the Queen
| The day of the maids OF honor IS a
lengthy one At 10 O'Clock they are, un-
less specially excused on duty in her
| majesty's bOudOir. attending TO her cor
respondence. and they are not really free
again until the hour for retiring. wnlcn
| may be any time between IL and $50.
and even later than that on OCCASION x

calculated TO bring joy to the Presi-
dents heart when she appears surround

them, too
This suit was of dark gray cloth, and
the coat had a distinctly military air.
The coat was short coming just over
the turn Of the hips and was cut on a
simple model but the tailoring had evil
IDENTITY been done by a master hand. 1t

the line which raE from shoulder 10 be-

on the plain coat sleeves were the only

K tary variety which ornamented the
/ front. There were three Of these. made

smart and unusual touch.
The skirt. which was short and made
On the familiar circular plan. had the
distinction of being cut in two portions.

portion nearly midway the length Of the
skirt. The two pieces were put together

~
~ At last we can lay aside the
n tailored gowns and cloth cos
tunes we have been forced to
wear for so long We can revel in the
sheerest of muslins. the most diaphan
Gus Of lingerie frocks, the crispest of
linens and lawns.
But before we leave the subject OF
cloth frocks for this season 1 want TO
tell you of one or two suits which are
really too good to be left in obscurity.
For while two Of them have been seen
about a good bit. and the third one will
be. 1 fatter myself that unless they have
been observed and described by Mrs.
Cholly Knickerbocker they have not
been really properly appreciated.
One Of these costumes was worn by
Mrs. Cass Garfield.
Just TO mention Mrs. Canheld's name
calls up a vision or beauty.
I'm sure you'll agree with me that
she's one of the prettiest women in the
Four Hundred Even the women admit
that. Her coloring is exquisite. so clear
and delicate and her blue eyes most al
Turing.
I've always thought she shone among
ali the women in that very exclusive
lAAAeAA NdAA 1DOOh VI DtauAy 70 WHICH 50
many Of us gave our photographs
Heaven knows some of the women
looked rights! Even my photograph did
not at all do me justice, but they insist
ed on having it-and Cholly had the
pleasure of paying $500 for a copy of
the book.
Mrs. Cass Garfield before she sailed
for Europe showed symptoms Of entirely
abandoning her mourning. It makes me
quite sad, for she is one of the few
women WHO wear almost perfect mourn
ing and half-mourning
Her violet velvet gowns last winter
were most satisfying to the eye. This
spring she wore a good deal OF black
and white. White lingerie gowns. most
deliberately embroidered. were a favorite
evening wear, and suited her delicate
style very well.
The Washington times., 1907-06-30

The popular circular model was used
for the skirt, which was long and I'M
trimmed save for some bias folds
around the bottom.
A gracefully bent hat of erin,
adorned with the inevitable feathers
this time they were of violet 10 carry
out the color scheme Of the coat-was
worn by Mrs. Garfield, and can as
sure you she looked quite charming in
it.
Speaking of cloth gowns reminds me
of a very perfectly cut and tailored suit
