The Swan Masters duties are by no

big flocks of swans belonging to the

and no one is permitted to keep them

Finally, the Lord Chamberlain is the

delegates his authority in the matter to
the Lord Chamberlain, who only grants
the license when the play In question

advice, and he can prevent the produc-

thereof to which ne may take objection.

secrets 4of state This was shown two
years ago, in the case brought by Mrs.
Horace West against her father-in-law.
the popular Sir Algernon West, whom
she charged with having prejudiced the
Lord Chamberlain in such way against
her as TO cause him to remove her name
from the court list. The Lord Chamber
lain was called as witness by the plain
tiff. but declined to give evidence, his
attitude being sustained by the presid
ing Judge. When the fact is taken into
consideration that much of the informa-
ton reaching the Lord Chamberlain is
contained in confidential letters, signed
or anonymous, that are prompted by
family quaTTels, social enmities and con-
spiracies by feminine spite, etc, it will
be seen that it requires a man of ex-
tremely level head, judicial tempera-
ment, of wide knowledge of the world,
and exceptional experience of English
society to distinguish the good from the
bad in the communications that reach
him, and to determine what there is that
Is available for use therein for his de-
pertinent.
Still another delicate task which the
Lord Chamberlain is required to fulfil is
that Of picking the names for invita-
tions 10 courts. TO state balls and to
other royal entertainments of an analo-
gous character; also 10 select for presen-
tation those who duly fulfil all require
ments as to conduct, past and present
and as to social status. There are al
ways ten times as many applications for
presentation and for invitations as can
be granted, especially after the personal
friends and acquaintance Of the King
and Queen and Of the royal family, and
who figure on their private list. have
been cared for. Allowance, too has also
TO be made for the official and court dig
nitaries and the foreign diplomatic
corps who are entitled TO invitations, as
matter of more or less right. 1t falls
TO the lot Of the Lord Chamberlain to
pick and choose among the optional lisT
and for every one receiving the royal
commands" sent out through his agency
there will be nine applicants cruelty dis
appointed and filed with resentment
against him.

presentation of the person concerned has
been cancelled" Fortunately these
public cancellations are very rare, and
by reason of the stigma which they in
flict may be regarded as social death.
Not more than twelve took place during
the reign of Queen Victoria, and about
four in the nine years of King Edward $
rule. Private cancellations are far more
numerous and, despite any publication
on the part of the authorities, quickly
become universally known in society. Oc
course, the cancellation of a presenta-
tion, whether public or private. is imme-
diately communicated by the Lord
Chamberlains department to the For
eign Office, and through the latter to the
various British embassies and lega-
tions abroad, so that exclusion from the
Court of st. James's entails exclusion
from the various courts on the Cont
nent.
HAS NO LEGAL REDRESS.
In order to appreciate the great power
with which the Lord Chamberlain is in
vested by the sovereign, in connection
with the censorship of society, it must
be borne in mind that the object of his
severity has no legal redress whatsoever
against him. Communications made TO
him have been judicially pronounced
privileged and he can no more be COM
PEELED by process of law to divulge the
information that he has received. or the
reasons for his action, than Cabinet min
isters can be judicially obliged to reveal

A eYMNAsTIc REQUIREMENT.

The Lord Chamberlain, like his coll
league, the Lord Steward of the House
hold, is required to be an adept in the
art of walking backward, and Ameri-
cans who have attended state balls or
courts at Buckingham Palace will recall
that the royal procession on entering
and leaving the throne room is invaria
bly, preceded by the Lord Chamberlain
and the Lord Steward, walking back
ward. This is an accomplishment-in
deed, one might almost describe 1t as an
art--that Is by no means easy To acquire.
and yet which is Indispensable To those
who are called upon TO bask In what is
known as the sunshine OF royalty"
This walking backward has TO be done
not merely on the level, bat also up and
down stairs. which is even stlll more
arduous. Walking backward consu-
tutes u token OF very great respect. 1t
Is an act Of homage that many oil the
old regime in Europe still accord To eV-
cry great lady of their acquaintance,
when they back out of their presence at
the conclusion of call, and is based on
the doctrine that Il is discourteous to
turn the back on any one who Is entitled
