But still greater expense is thrown OF

Problem for the Queen.

The real problem which now confronts
the Queen is To find ladies Of aristocratic
family who will be willing TO bear the
expense that a position in the royal house
hold entails. The difficulty her ma jesty is
experiencing in finding such ladies is fur
Their increased by recent and impending
land legislation. which already has de
creased the incomes of the landed classes.
and which threatens 10 greatly lessen their
incomes in the immediate future.
II is generally anticipated that Queen
Mary will have 10 pay one or two of her
ladics-n- waiting greatly increased sal
aries. and that these will be permanently
in attendance on the Queen. IL seems to
I've q choice between some such plan as
this or appointing ladies OF a class who
have never yet held positions I'm the Eng
lsh royal household. Her majesty, who is
very economical. may perhaps adopt the
latter course. There IL. indeed. no good
reason. except tradition and sentiment.
why her majesty should not do so. Many

cratic families In England are related by
marriage. and the King and Queen num-

Others May Resign.

II this sort OF thing goes on there will
be further designations, and her majesty
therefore knows that she will have to fill
up the present vacancies. but there are
difficulties about doing so, and as a mat
ter of fact il is known that lately at least
three ladies have declined 10 accept q
position in the royal household. The fact
is that. although the English court IS con-
Quoted generally on extremely economical
lines. the expenses OF the ladies-in-walt-
ing have considerably increased during
the last ten or twelve years and the sum
OF 100 per annum which a lady-in waiting
is paid does not now cover her expenses,
as il did in the reign of Queen Victoria.
In tho late reign the question OF expense
did not arise al all; most OF the ladies'
in-waiting in Queen Alexandra's house
hold were extremely wealthy. and the
two or three who were not were very
generously treated by her majesty. and the
position OF the ladies-in-waiting. in any
case, was then quite different from what
il is now. Miss Knollys was always with
Queen Alexandra and relieved the ladies'
in waiting Of all but comparatively the
lightest OF ceremonial duties
In the encourage OF the present Queen,
however, there are several ladies who are
far from being vell-to-do, and Queen
Mary is not disposed 10 increase their pay,
which comes out Of her own pocket. no
special grant being made by Parliament
for any expenses in connection with the
household of the sovercign's consort A
ady-in-wating has TO spend al the low
est estimate 5000 per annum on dress.
and there are several ladies' in the royal
household who would not spend half that
sum on their dress II they were not at
court.

London. March There IS much specu-

Queen Marys household at present Is
smaller than that OF queen Alexandra,
and probably is the smallest of the con-

a thing that would trouble Queen Mary
at all but for the fact that i'm 50 limited

necessity are overworked and kept con-
stantly In attendance. For example. Lady
Eva Dugdale and Lady Bertha DawlIlns
have been constantly in attendance on
the Queen during the last eight weeks.
The old rule was that lady-in- waiting
was rarely expected to be in attendance
on the Queen for more than two weeks at
time. but owing TO the small number
OF lades-in waiting AT present In the
royal establishment IT IS often impossible
