_â€"â€"_â€"_ iiâ€"Hn MAJESTY’S COURT [10“! THE PRESENTATIONS ARE CONDUCTED. Sight of Splendor and Magniticcnce Unsurpassed at Any Other Court of Europe. The average person probably finds it difficult to understand why there should be such a keen desire on the part cf society people to be presented at Court. To the uninitiated, the mere honor or pleasureâ€"limvevcr you may like to re- gard itâ€"of making a curtsy to the King and Quetn in the ballroom of Bucking- ham Palace searcer compensates one for the expense and trouble involved. As a matter of fact, a presentation at Court means a great deal to those who move in upper circles. Without It a woman has no recognized social posi- ,‘tic-n; she is never invited to Royal ctr .tertainmcnts, and when visiting a for« leign country cannot be presented to its iSovcreign. In the old days, when a llady had been once presented. she could ocnt’nuc to attend Courts, uninvited and tunchallcnged, until the end of her life. -But time has changed that privilege. However, it is obvious that there are still great inducements to secure the lprecious card of invitation from the Lord Chamberlain which entitles one fto attend the Court. Everybody who is anybody is to be seen at a Court presentationâ€"princes, lords, and dukes, grey-haired ambassa- dors, generals, politicians, and diploma- ‘tists, do'wn to young attaches, all at- tired in FULL UNIFORM OR COURT DRESS, the men’s attire, in many cases, being no less brilliant and gorgeous than the dazzling confections worn by youngr (icbutantes who nervously await their turn for presentation. Those who by right of birth are on- titled to attend at Court are members of the aristocracy and of the leading county families, the wives and daugh- ters of officers in the Artiiy and Navy, .of clergymcn and barristers, of import- ant financiers, and of men engaged '11 large commercial enterprises. But the lint: is rigidly drawn at those occupied in retail trade, no matter how refined or well connected they may be. Now-a- days several titled women, members of old families, keep shops of their own, and this fact entirely prevents their appearance at Court. This rule is abâ€" solute, and has no exceptions. he general company drive into the courtyard of Buckingham Palace under the portico at the State entrance. There Is also another entrance, known as the Pinilico door, through which members of the Diplomatic Corps and what known as the Entree company are al- lowed to pass. By entering with the general company, however, one obtains a splendid view of some of the beauties of Buckingham Palace. After alighling at the Doric portico, the debutante enters the large but some- what low-ccilinged entranceâ€"hall, with its marble floor and staircase, and its double row of pillars in PURE \VIIITE CARRARA MARBLE. From the hall access can be obtained to the so-callcd Bay Window Room, which is one of the finest on the gar- den floor of Buckingham Palace. The Bow Library is used as a cloak-room, where wraps and cloaks are left and numbered tickets received in exchange. The staircase is a moch of splendor. Every step is a solid piece of white marble, and the gold and cream ceiling shows some marvellous decoration. Sta- ticned on the staircase and everywhere about are Yeomen of the Guard dressed in red and gold, Willi neck ruffles, brcklcd shoes, and the flat hats that have become known by their name. Attentive gentlemen ushers pass the guests on in batches of about thirty through the alllCrI‘OOmS which lead to the last halting-place, the Tapestry Cor- ridor, The ballroom, where the Court is held, is a superb saloon, with walls [panelled iii crimson and a floor of sat- ,i'nwood and mahogany. At one end is a fine organ and the gallery for His Majesty’s musicians. The King and Queen enter the ban. room about. ten o’clock. They are pre- ceded by the White Stavcs and followed by the most important officers of the State, who, together with other members r-t the Royal Family, take up their posi- .tion in a semi-circle round their Ma- jcstics in order of precedence. Then the business of the evening commences. Trains are let down and spread upon the floor, cards are passed from hand to hand, and A GREAT SILENCE PREVAILS, broken to a nervous debutantc‘s car only by the sound of her own tread (n the polished floor and by the announce- ment of her name in a tone of official authority. When the two deep curtsies have been duly made, the lady has to retire froth the Royal presence with all tti~- grace at her command. Formerly a debutante was obliged to undergo the nerve-trying ordeal of kiss- ;tng the Queen‘s hand, and. if a pecress, Inf being saluted on botli checks. while, :in addition, she was obliged to walk ibackwtirds from the Royal presence. tRut King Edward has altered all that. ,Their Majesties remain seated, and a ,curtsy is all that is required. _ Between one and two hours are thus taken up “'tlll the business of presenta- tion, after which the King and Queen retire froth the ballroom to partake o' supper with a few favored guests. Sup- per is also provided for the general ,conipany, with this differenceâ€"that white the Royal party sit down to a formal meal, the others refresh them- selves at the buffets, for the most part Istanding up. t it may interest some readers to learn. ’Pen 1A?) glz The underwear that fits perfectly, and neither is named wears out slowest, shrinks nor stretches, PEN-ANGLE, and bears this trade mark in red.

The romance of a French heiress and be"penui1css lover,their elepeinent, and a few wcsks of wedded bliss. have been followed by the abduction of the bride in the paternal motor-car. Sonic months have passed since Mlle. Pledallu met Victor Debaulon near her millionaire father's chateau at Isle- Adam, France. A friendship sprang up and ripened into love. A few weeks ago the clopmcnt was platinch and carried out. Mlle. Picdallu and her governess went shopping in Paris. The girl gave her chapt’ron the slip and joined her lover, who was waiting in a Cab. So deep was the father‘s anger that lie swore to leave the neighborhood. The c .xnttnts of his chateau are to be sold by tltlf‘llull before the place is shut up. The lovers drove to a railway station and travelled ‘to Ostcnd. There they look cheap rooms, and Dehaulon ob~ taincd work at a well-known hotel. His wife carried his dinner in a bundle through the streets each day. Neither knew that the millionaire who was searching for them was one of the. chief shareholders in the company which owns the hotel where Dchaulon was employed. Discovery came owing tc this fact. The heiress was carrying her hus- band's dinner through the streets of Oslend when three men suddenly seiz- ed her and placed her in a motor-car waiting by the kerb. Instantly the vehicle, in which the millionaire was sitting, started off and quickly got Clea.“ of the town. Dehaulon, alarmed by his wife‘s non-appearance, ran to their rooms, found them vacant, and learn: what had happened a few days later. Since then he has been searching in vain for his wife. -r ---â€" --â€">7I MAN \VIIO FEEDS MANY. Joseph Lyons of London "as Most Colos- sal Eating Concern in \Vorld.

A Handy Shoe Factory~llorses Got Off Their Feedâ€"a Great Scheme. _ Down in the southern part of the State of New Hampshire. at a railway station where the farmers for miles around used to come to take the train for Boston. a Certain man had a house and a big stable, amt in the. long rows of stalls they kept their horses during the day until thev returned from their jturucy to “the nub.“ Then they would llltt'll up and drive home. Evt‘i'ybOtly “this on himself in these democratic ('(Allllllllllllx‘s, so they were in the habit of llllltlltfltlllg their own horses. hang- ing the harness on the pegs at the foot- 01' the stalls and giving each animal a measure of oats frozn a big bin over in the corner. The stable was kept very dark, so that sometimes on a cloudy (in) they had to feel their way around. but Mr. Taylor, the proprietor. explain- v-l its advantagesr‘lial. it kept out the flies and other insects. BOL'GI l'l‘ SEVERAL BARRELS. One day Mr. Taylor was employed by a stranger to drive him over to Ilil\'t‘I'IlIll, where a shoe factory with all its Contents and appurtenances was t". be, sold at. auction under foreclosure. lilvcrylhing was going very cheap and Mr. Taylor bought several barrels (f shoe pegs for almost nothing. When he got home he put them in the born without explaining what he was going to di with them. It was something more than a coinci- dence that about this time Taylor quit buying oats and the horses that were placed in this barn while their owner: went to Boston almost invariably got “off their feed.” SOLD BURDOCK CURE. The owners unhilched and put. them 'in the stalls and gave them a measure of grain, as usual, from the bin in the dark corner, but when they returned at night the feed lay untouched in the trough. Mr. Taylor, had sortie medicine, made of burdock leaves, which he re~ commended as an appetite restorative, and he sold a good many bottles at 2:3 cents cacti. He told his customers to give their horses a dose before they started to drive home and another after their arrival before feeding. and he thought it. would cure them. And it did. It wzirked like a charm and there was a great demand for the burdock rcm‘ edy. HAD BEEN FEEDING SHOE PEGS. One day an inquisitive farmer took his measure of oats to the stable door and found it full of shoe pegs. For nearly a year, ever since Taylor went over in that. auction at ltavcrhill, his customers had been feeding slice pegs to their horses and paying Taylor :25 cents per animal for that privilege. As one might. expect, there was a god deal of comment on the discovery and Taylor went out of business. .1 mâ€"â€"_- Time Has Tcstcd ILâ€"Timc tests all things, that which is worthy lives; that which is in'unical to man's welfare per- islics.
