friends, declared his allegiance to the
revolving leader. thus creating an
unusual situation. Senior Ortiz Ru-
bio was thereupon appointed TO that
post and instructed to regain the

The tragedy upon which Queen Mary.
as Princess May, looked helplessly al
in her home at White Lodge was that
OF desperate but fruitless efforts by her
father to keep out of debt.
The princess saw her parents practice
the Severest economies. They reduced
the servants to four maids, including a
cook, and one under footman. This
was q Staff wholly inadequate for White
Lodge and for people in the position
OF the Tecks.
There are people in Richmond today
who remember the struggle the royals
at White Lodge had to make ends meet.
Cook Quits When Unpaid.
On the occasion of certain dinner
party the cook, in a sudden fit of
temper, said in the afternoon that she
was leaving. Hard to blame her, per-
haps, with nearly three months wages
due.
The situation was desperate A mes
sage was sent to pastry cooks in
Richmond for a cook, but none was
available.
There was nothing but that the
Duchess Of Teck and the Princess May
should cook dinner themselves. The

Arranging 4 Marriage.
One afternoon she arrived at White
Lodge and had a long interview with
the Duchess of Teck. 1t will be re-
lnembered that Queen Victoria had
planned a marriage between her eldest
son, the Prince of Wales, and the
Princess Adelaide of Cambridge, but at
the suggestion of Lord Palmerston,
then prime minister, she allowed that
plan to lapse, and the Princess Adelaide
became the Duchess of Teck.
