for Queen Mary are trimmed with
priceless lace and embroideries sup
piled from the collection at Bucking-
ham palace. In such cases after the
gowns have served their purpose 1.-THE
trimmings are removed to do service
again. In no case are these trimmings
sold with the dresses.
Queen Mary has been known to wear
the same dress as many as twenty-five
times. On an average dresses remain
in the royal wardrobe about six
months, and during that time they ere
worn probably eighteen times each.
although the frequency of their use
varies great deal, according to the
nature Of their material and style, and
thus a waking dress would be worn
more often than an evening gown
The clothes of the queen are in
charge Of dressing maid and two as
sistants, called dressers, and are kept
in a great apartment adjoining the
queens bedahamber, known as the
roberoom. The walls are lined with
enormous wardrObes. some containing
the state robes and others her ma
jestys ordinary gowns and dresses.
One of the ladies of the 'bedchamber
sends card in the evening to the
dressing maid, giving particulars OF
the dresses that will be worn by the
queen on the following day. After each
dress is entered the honr at which IL
must be ready and laid cut In the
dressing room. The system is simph-
fed by the numbering Of every cos
tune in her rnajesty's extensive ward

made by number

Some OF the more simple dresses In

Usually Queen Mary orders several
