Of letters out, the assistant pri-
vate secretaries bring in theirs.
Appointments, dates, programs
and engagements are discussed
and checked Lists of people
who will meet the Queen are
presented for approval. Each
secretary keeps track of specific
undertakings, so that there is
no muddle or overlapping. The
Queen sees correspondence ad-
dressed to her personally. but
letters are referred to various
authorities who can deal with
matters they concern. Maj.
Ford, Sir Michael Adeane. 1t.
Col. Martin Charters go out
with trays full of work that keeps
a secretarial staff busy until the
evening.
He Hires ond Fires
About 10:3O the Queen will
probably see the master of her
household, Sir Piers Legh,s the
palace major domo. who sub
mits menus, and drafts the
Court Circular, which appears
in the official London Gazette,
the Times and Telegraph, an
nouncing news connected with
the royal family. He also hires
and fires all domestic help down

and other entertainments.
If the program for the day in

about 11:15. Morning. coated
diplomats who are taking up or
leaving posts abroad make Of
fetal calls and stay about is
minutes. Bishops in their
CATERS come to kiss hands
literally-on appointment. New
ministers in the government kiss
hands on receiving seal of Office,
and distinguished visitors, such
as dominion prime ministers or,
as lately, foreign statesmen like
DR.. Adenauer of Germany or DR..
Figl of Austria, come to pay
their respects.
These interviews are arranged
beforehand and an important
caller may be placed last on the
list and asked to stay to lunch,
his wife joining him at the
palace in time to be presented
before the meal. If there are
no audiences the Queen may
manage to find time for an ap-
pointment with her hairdresser
or even go out of the palace to

PENSACOLA.
MRS. F. p. p. Rockuille)

This is in answer to ques-
tions about Pensacola, Florida.
Housing conditions are not
too good now as a new 10
million dollar plant Is coming
there which will bring a lot of
people to Pensacola. They do
have some nice developments
called Lakewood, Edgewater
and Navy Point where you
might be able to locate a house.
Do take winter clothes for
January. February and March.
I was there at the time and
the weather is unpredictable.
You might wear a suit one
day and a winter coat the
next. It is usually chilly in
the mornings and after the
sun goes down in the winter
months but usually warns UP
during the day. The lowest
the temperature ever got while
I lived there was 40 degrees
but it seemed much colder.
The people there are friend
ly and it is very easy to make
friends. am sure you will en-
JOY Pensacola very much.

Young Elizabeth H.:
By MoIIie McGee
(ThiS Article Is the Sirth
in q SerieS.)

Queen Elizabeth spends a
great deal of her time at her
desk. yet. because of the glamour
of the crown, it is much easier
to find photographs OF her
majesty in filmy, billowing eve
ming gowns. with cleaning tiaras
and the brilliant Order of the
Garter, than to bring to light
one showing her busy in her
sittingroom.
Her majesty works at the
same large desk-that followed
her to Clarence House and back
again-in the pleasant Bucking-
ham Palace room.
AS a sovereign she must at
tend to official duties, as a Queen
she has last word on what is
served at her tables and de-
ciSions on color schemes and
household appointments, and as
a mother she insists that her
special place in her children's
daily program remain undis-
turbed. When in London she
has little leisure.
Political reports and top-Secret
correspondence on world. affairs
from ministers, ambassadors and
high commissioners arrive daily
to keep the Queen informed in
dispatch boxes impressive
leather covered oblong cases.
The contents must be read
though the reports are often
long, involved and dry.
Budgeting her time so that her
children and her boxes" get
due consideration has been one
of the Queens more difficult
rearrangements. King George
VI usually went through his
"boXeS" late in the afternoon,
during the quiet interlude after
tea. The Queen has always de-
voted this particular hour to the
nursery.
Prince Missed Mother
Prince Charles grumbled re-
Gently when he missed his usual
afternoon visit and asked pa
thetically why his mother "had
to Queen at teatime?" So, her
majesty is keeping to her orig
inal schedule, though the Prime
Minister'S weekly-and some-
times more frequent-visits, pre-
viously timed around $50, are
now arranged an hour later.
The Queens working day be-
gins early. She gets up about |
8. breakfasts with her husband
before 9, then goes through !
two or three London papers. |
She usually sees the London
Times and occasionally the New
York Times; the other papers
vary.
From $50 until 10 o'clock, |
her majesty discusses news, pol
itics and future engagements
with her principal private sec
retary, Sir Alan Lascelles. who
has the only duplicate tubular
key to dispatch boxes, and sees
papers even before they reach
the Queen. He is a tall, slight,

WEDDING COMMITTEE
DUTIES?

MRS. L. L.. Arlingtonl
I have been asked to work
on a wedding committee in my
church and would like to ac-
cept, but, I don't know much
about all the things should
to serve well on the commit
tee. Do you know where I
could get some advice? The
department stores are inter-
ested only in brides and their

VACATION?
&c. T. B., Falls Church,

W. / NsO SNtSO SfS~t VIZ
We are a couple with two
young children, aged 6 and
4, and are trying to decide
what kind of a vacation we
can take that will be inter-
esting and yet stay within our
limited budget. We recently
read about a vacation that a
family spent at a "Y" Spon-
sored family camp. The cost
was quite reasonable and they
commended the fine fellow
ship that existed there. How
ever, there was not much in
formation about facilities nor
whether there was time to take
sidetrips to see any Of the
countryside or interesting
sights, etc.
We had thought of visiting
the Finger Lake region of New
York State since the country
is so pretty at this time Of
year but wonder whether it
may be too cool. We will be
gone the last week of June
and the first week of July.
We have considered going
to a State Park but do not
particularly want to do our own
cooking. We believe it will be
easier with the children to
stay at one place than to stay
at different place each night
as would be necessary in COW
ering more territory.
We would appreciate any
suggestions or ideas from fam
lilies that have taken a trip
of this sort for we feel that
there must be many in our
position that can afford low
cost vacation to have one at
all.
POEM?
Mrs. r. H. s., Orl1ndoJ
Some years ago I read in
either a newspaper or a re-
ligious magazine a poem
which I believe is entitled The
Two Mothers" or a similar
name. It is the conversation
OF two mothers about their
sons-Jesus and Judas Iscariot.
AS I recall, the last line of the
poem goes something like this,
when Mary asked who the
other mother was: Judas Is
CARROT. I am his mother"
I lost my copy of the poem,
and upon hearing it read on a
Richard Maxwell broadcast a
year or two later tried then
to get a copy, but they could
not furnish me with a copy.
have searched in vain to
find a copy in several public
libraries as we'll as the Con-
gressional Library. I did To-
cate one which is similar writ
ten by Agnes Lee entitled
Motherhood" but it is not the
copy I want.
am wondering if possibly
some RICH reader has a copy
of this poem. I will be forever
grateful if they will share it
with me.

CARE OF FURNITURE?
III. A. D., Washington
I would like to have the sug-
geStions of your readers re-
garding the cooking and pre-
paration Of Sauerkraut. I am
especially interested in sug-
gestings regarding long cook
ing (hours and sometimes
days. as against short cooking
go minutes to a few hours)
and what should be done to
prevent a strong odor while
cooking.
I would also like to nave
their suggestions on the care
and polishing of furniture.
How often should polish be
used and how much to keep
the furniture clean and in good
condition?

T axe eMyWord for 1t
By Fronk Colby


Plagiarism is an ugly word
among writer's; but it is much
less common, and, when spotted,
usually is far less important
than is supposed.
The word plagiarism is direct
ly derived from the Latin pla-
giarius, "a kidnaper";; from the
Latin plagium, kidnapping"
Yet, condolences in the ex-
preston of the same thought
must be as common as grass.
Those who doubt the frequency
of sheer coincidence in litera-
ture, may ponder over a story
about RosSetti. Already he had
written his poem, Loves Noe
turne"::
Fair with honourable eyes
Lamps of pellucid soul.
Before he had seen his proofs,
Browning's Ring and the Book
came out, and in it Rossetti
found the phrase '1ustrous and
pellucid SOUL" It amounted to
pure coincidence of necessity:
but he anticipated the usual
charge of plagiarism" and sac
rif1ced his phrase. rather than
leave himself liable.
Apart from coincidence there
is unconscious memory, which
finds many modern wits think
ing they have coined an ingenius
phrase when in reality the ex-
preston was born many genera
tions before.
"A ship" says Emerson. "is a
quotation from a forest" But
as it is not inclosed in quotation
marks, a ship is rank plagiarism.
Moliere derived not only his
plots, but the dialogue of whole
scenes from Italian comedies.
Shakespeare stole plots. Incl
dents, and ideas from his FORE
runners. Had not inventors bor-
rowed ideas from their predeces-
Sors, progress would come to a
standstill.
Frank Moore Colby Q365-1925)
wrote: THE new thinker is only
one who does not know what the
old thinkers have thought. And
even that was a paraphrase of
the statement uttered by Marie
Antoinette's milliner, Mile. Ber-
tin: There is nothing new ex-
cept what is forgotten"
