sometimes apt to be rather overcome
By The grandeur they find and an ex-
cess of shynpss. something like stage
fright. III IN some cases the inevitable
accompaniment OF the arst evening at
the castle.
In Queen victoria's time guests were
hidden only TO "dine and Sleep"
Therefore all they saw OF their royal
hostess was comprised in few mo-
ments' conversation in the drawing
room after dinner unless they happen
ed to be near the queen at the dinner
table.
This is all altered now. Guests are
hidden to stop two or three days and
consequently see much more OF the
king and queen than in former times.
The question of dress always is great
problem with the ladies' commanded"
to Windsor castle. for, instead Of &C
quiring only one smart evening toilet
and suitable jewels for a "dine and
Sleep visit of one night, quite an out
fit must be laid in for three or four
days stay. No particular dress Is re-
quired on arrival. as guests are shown
at once to their rooms. but next morn
ing it Is necessary to appear rather
smartly dressed for breakfast. which is
quite formal meal at the castle.
Then another change Of toilet is re-
Quired when the time comes to join the
shooters at luncheon and yet another
on returning to the castle for 5 o'clock
tea Every night. too, a different toilet
must be worn. suitable to the royal sur
roundings and proportionately expen-
