enthusiastic collector OF old china

she recently has made some interest
ing additions to her already extern
slve collection. The bulk of this col
lection is kept at Buckingham Pal
ace, and after her recent return from
Balmoral Castle she spent much time
in rearranging II, in order that her
most recent purchases might be prop
erly displayed. And, like many an
other devotee of old china, Queen
Mary, l am told, is to be seen every
now and then washing and dryinG
some of the more delicate pieces.
The official housekeeper at Buck
ingham Palace, Mrs. Clerk, stands
high in the regard of Queen Mary
She has been in her majesty's employ
for over % years, is a thoroughly
practical and efficient manager. and
is very well liked by the servants
under her charge. She has an inter
view with the Queen every morning
and gets orders from her royal mis-
tress about all matters in connection
with her department II new maid
servant is being engaged, the Queen
is told of it and may decide to SEQ
the girl personally,
When a new servant is required at
one of the royal palaces. by the way,
phone to an employment agency, as
there is always long waiting list
for posts in the royal household.
At Buckingham Palace about 150
man and maid servants are employed,
most of them being the sons or
daughters of servftors on the royal
estates. Employment in the house
hold is. in fact, almost hereditary, and
certain surnames, among them Chand-
-
writer's own name, Church. have been
on the royal pay roll for many gen
erations.
Many OF the male servants are mar
ried. but female domestic who weds
is replaced Immediately. as Queen
Mary does not approve of wives being
employed elsewhere than in their
own homes.
Curiously enough, with the excep-
ton of the chief chef, the Kings
valet. the housekeeper and n few
others. all the royal servants are on
what are called board wages. This
means that they are paid so much for
their services and get so much moro
to cover the cost of their food. This
custom is general in all big houses
in England. The royal servants don't
cater for themselves individually:
they appoint one of their number to
buy for all, and each pays for his
or her share of the cost. They have
their own mess at buckingham Pal
ace. where their meals are cooked
and served.
The board allowance paid to each
servant in pre-war days was $3.50
a week. Today the allowance is
$3.50 a week, which means an in
crease in the expenses of the royal
establishment of about $1,000 a week
estimating that $50 servants are
paid the increased allowances for
board). or $4,000 a year

be informed of the matter, and
will go herself very carefully
into the proposed alterations,
and probably make suggestions
herself to the housekeeper on
the matter.
Here is one story of thrift
ness on the part of Engiand's
Queen, told by one Of her
former ladies in waiting. After
one of her absences at Sand
bingham, Queen Mary's atten-
ton was drawn to the fact that
the curtains TO the front win
dows at Buckingham Palace
had lost their original fresh
ness, and were even beginning
to fray In places.
The Queen had a look-see.
New curtains are certainly
needed for these front win
dows," she said, but the old
ones can be repaired very easily
and will then do quito well for
the windows at the back"
And 1t was so!

Origin of Gifts.
Continued from First Page

Peace be with thee" he said.
only God is great" replied the
princely son of Egypt. See, the
other comes"
From the north came a third camel.
Peace be to you, brothers" said its
rider. He was of white complexion.
with waving, golden hair. Under a
Tyrian purple mantle his costume
showed Greek origin.
The Egyptian led them to the meal.
Let us eat" he said, ito be strong
for what remains" AS he spoke they
looked at each other In amazement.
Each had spoken in language never
before heard by the others. yet each
had understood what the others said.
So met in the desert the three
Kings.
60 travelled together to the manager
~ Of Bethlehem the three magi-
Casper the Athenian, Melchior the
Brahman of india, and Balthasar,
prince and priest of Egypt.
The three Wise Men that followed
the Star,
Gaspar, Melchior and Balthasar."
They brought rich gifts to the infant
Jesus--origin of all Christmas gifts.
Christian art and tradition made them
the three Kings. as standing for the
three great civilizations of the world
up to Christ's birth.
In the Christmas festivities of all
Europe the role of Gaspar became
that of greatest honor as the King.
He represented Europe bringing gifts
to the infant Saviour.
The King drinks! But why?
See, now.
AS an ancient game played by Ro-
man children during the December
saturnalia likewise made the, king
its chief figure. Christmas festivities
naturally merged him into Ga.par.
In the Roman game the children
drew lots with beans to choose the
king. The children with Aeneas'
emigration party had brought the
game from Greece. which had re-
ceived it from venerable Egypt.
When "the king took a drink of
water all the children must cry, THE
king drinks!' II the king should
scratch, they would cry, The king
scratches!" II he should climb a tree,
they'd cry. THE king climbs!" And
SO on. The election, with one white
bean among many brown ones, came
from real elections in old Greece.
Whence the saying, Lucky beam"
So the Christian hero, Gaspar, be-
came King of the Bean"-the visit
of the three Kings mingling with
Christmas. AS the feature became
more and more popular, the Day of
the Kings was shifted to Twelfth
Night, celebrated magnifcently In
the Middle Ages. Along with its
Christmas gifts, take note, there was
q beautiful principle of reconcilia-
ton OF enemies, payment Of debts and
compromise Of money and other dis
putes.
