There are many women among my
readers who Will be Interested TO know
that all the madservants employed at
Buckingham Palace. at Windsor, and
at Marlborough House, are recruited
from the Sandringham estate, and have
thus been more or less known to the
members of the royal family since
their childhood. a perfect army of
them are employed at Buckingham
Palace. where they are under the or
ders of the housekeeper. Mrs. Dodd,
who filled the same position at alari-
borough House prior to the Kings ac-
cession to the throne. The maids have
to be dressed and ready for work at
half-past in the morning. Every
afternoon a certain number of them
are released from duty between and
6 O'Clock, and large sitting room is
provided for them. where they can
read write. or do their own work.
Each maid Is allowed out one evening
a week, from till 9:45, and she is
compelled to be scrupulously punctual
I'm observing, these hours, and TO re-
port herself to tho housekeeper on her
return. She gets also two whole days
in the month, from 10 ~ NJ. till .
f. NJ, and fortnights holiday on
full pay every year Dismissal from
the royal service Is exceedingly rare.
aud most of the vacancies that occur
are through marriage, when the Queen
always makes the girl a wedding pres
ent. and often finds employment for the
newly welded couple on one OF the
