Debutantes (and others) who aspire to be "presented at Court" have to take preliminary steps a long way ahead. This is because although the actual Courts ; are uot hel until May and June (two ii each month), the lists of guests sre completed much earlier; and, once these lists ave filled up, it is slmost impossible to figure on them for another year, How, then, to. get on "the list?" That is the prooiem which con- fronts many a girl anxious to make her curtsey to Royalty at! Buckingham Palace, Well, there sre diuicuities, Still, for those who go tae right way to work, they are not insuperaule, 'he first thing to bear ia mind ls that no one, whatever her rank or position, has a right to atiend a Court, It is a privilege, and the invitation ecumes from taeir Majesties, As tue numuer who wisa to receive it 18 aways much | larger than the one for whom room can be found, the invitations have to be restricted to those who sre considered most eligible. They sre issued In tie foim of a "'sum- mons" by the Lord Chamberlain, Hence, It is to this autnority toat the initial application has to be addressed, Securing a "Summons" A debutante can only be "pres- nted" by a married woman who has herself aiready received this social imprimateur, It soe be wililng to undertake the responsi- bility (wiadeh is a 'ery real one), this latter writes to the Lord Caamberiain as soon after Jaa. 1 as possible, In doing so, she must request permiss.on to attend a Court unerse.f and to "preseni' the girl whose name she gives, and for whose el gibility sue is p-epared to vouch trom her per- sonal knowiedge, Oniy one *'pres- entation" can pc made at a time; ion gilded chairs, (time [first "presented." and it is not etigueite for a chaperon to submit such a request! more than once in three years, It all goes well, in duo time there arrives an official envelope the coveted "summons These state that "The Lord Chemberiain 13 commanded by their Majesties to summon to the Court to he held on'; Taelr receipt has to be acknow-' ledged promptly, II, owing to sny unforseea occurrence, it is jm- possiblo to attend, a full explana- tion is required, Jt mone be sub- mitted the fact is remembered and | the oftendci 1s - automatically struck oft tue lit of eligibles, Certain classcs of people have, paturally c20ugh, more chance than others of bLelpg bidden to 8 Cour:. Among suf are peeresses and the wives and daughters of Ligh functionaries in the naval, military, eivil aud diplomatic ser- vices, ete, Tho King and Queen plso ke specially welcome dis- tinzuiShed women visitors (from the Overscas Domipions, ss wel as from Amcrica aad other coun- tries, desirious of being "present- ed" to them, Such "presenta- tions" are regarded as "official" and are held earlier in the even- ing than are those of the "general circle," Not for Asking Invitations to Buckingham Pal- ace are not to be had merely for the asking, Very far from fit. The list of applicants is subjected to a severe scrutiny; and anyone whose conduct has ever been call- ed in question stands no chance of setting foot within the Palace. But this is as it should be, for 3 "presentation" is not ap empty honor, It implies that those who have received it are held worthy of meeting their Majesties. A period of feverish anxiety fol- lows the arrival of the "summons cards." There are a thousand things to do, and not too much time in which to do them. First of all, there is the important mat- ter of getting the dress. This is subjected to wery strict rules as to cut, pattern, material and] tenzth of train, ete. In order that mo error should be committ- ed, the approved designs can be at the Lord ; and anxious everything is just as it should be. Still, » good deel is wisely left the wearer's individual taste. tit il £ general company are liveried servants, who direct them to rooms where wraps, ete, are deposited, . They then pass up the grand staircase, flanked on either side by stalwart gentlemen-at- arms, and picturesquely clad Yeo- men of the Guard... Progress is slow, for there is hound to bs a dense throng, Still, the top Is eventually reached, and the first comers find themselves in a series of drawing rooms, where they sit and pass the chatting and comparing The rule at a court is "first come, firgt served," or, rather, By degrees the occupants of the front rows of chairs are summoned by a gentle- notes, !man usher to stép into the ad- joining pleture = gallery, This means that the great moment Is at hand, In "the Presence" Clutehing her precios "sum- mons card," and offering up a de- vout hope that there is nothing the matter with her dress, the deb- utante moves slowly forward in a long queue, . As she reaches the head of it a page of Honor spreads out the train she has héen hold- ing, and takes her card, This is hended up to the Lord Chamber- lain, whose post is at the door of the "Presence Chamber," He gives a swift glance at the name inscrib- ed. Then, with a reassuring nod to the bearer, he calls out in a resonant voice, 'Miss ----, pres- ented by fd This really is the great mo- ment of the evening, Conscious that every eye is watching to re- mark how she will acquit herself, the debutante crosses the thres- hold, In front of her are seated their Majesties the King and Queen, on giit chairs, with the members of the Royal Family on their left, and the "great officers of the household" standing in a semi-circle behind them, As her name fs called, the newcomer Victoria was accustomed to receive tations from the various phil. ropie societies fn which she' took an active interest, As befits its name, the Library (contains a collection of books, most of w were brought together by George III. The greater portion of the original collection, however, was transferred, some years ago, to the British Museum, where it is arranged on the shelves of what is called the "King's Library," ad- joining the entrance-hall, In the Sculpture Gallery are scme very bautita) specimens from Italy and reece. - On the first floor, reached by the grand staircase, ave the throne-room, the ballreown, the green drawing room, aud the pic- ture gallery, 'These are ull of handsome proportions. and are furnished and decorated Irn # ost sumptuous fashion. The drawing room, for instanee, is $0 [feet In length and #7 feet in breadth, with a richly paluted ceiling sup- ported by marble columns, No less splendid, Mewever, le the {throne room, with {ts marble frieze and satin-hung wale Conspleu- 'ous among the furniture Is a very beautiful ehony ea*inr, dating from about the year 1700, On the top of it stands a clock of ex- ceedinglv graceful design, In adi'tion to the green draw- ing room, there are at Bucking ham Paleco two other drawing rooms, known respectively as the "white" and the "blue The are both furs the utmost taste ani n One of the most valu: in the former apartment 1s a grand piano, cncased in Vernis- Martin, In tuis 100m 13 also to ba observed a e¢;lincrical hureau, which Is probably the best exams ple of its kind In the world, It wes made by two famous crafts- | men, O2hen and Rizsner, and its co struction took ten years, The private lunchcon-room at Buckingham Palace is decorated in the Chinese style, and much nf its furniture was removed from the Brighton Pavilion, of which building George 1V was eo fond, In this room are two valuable clocks, one of which came from France, and the other from China, There are also e marvellously carved cabinets from Pekin, to- gether with unique specimens of Imari ware and lacquer work from Tokio, This private luncheon- room, by the way, was a favorite one with King Edward, and was much used by him when he had only a few personal friends with him, Conspicuous among the splen- dors of Buckingham Palace is its picture gallery, It is 150 feet la ol jects tak , Laree steps ward and curtseys, first to toe King, and them to the Queen, who smile their acknowledgements with a re- assuring bow, Having done this, she leaves the chamber by a door at the further end, etiquette de-, manding that she shall walk backwards from 'the presence." Cinderella Hours That is all, The whole business only occupies a few seconds, for several hundreds of tions" beve to be made within the compass of 8 couple of bours. As each debutante withdraws, thrilled and bappy, she rejoins her chaperon and friends, in the ballroom, where supper is served to the company. The spectacle is a memorable ope. Everywhere shimmering dresses and sparki- ing jevels; gorgeous uniforms and gliitering medals; a' wealth of gold plate and hothouse flow- ers; and the music of a Guards band rising above -the hum of laughter and talk. A court is a Cinderella affair, By 12 o'clock the guests are ex- pected to have left, Ten minutes before the hour strikes wraps are reclaimed, and everybody is streaming into the hall. Soon the last car, bearing its happy and thrilled occupants, hes driven from the quadrangle. The tread of sentries, keeping their watch snd ward, is the only sound heard. One by one the lights flicker apd disappear. Buckingham Palace is wrapped" in shuttered darkness. The court is over. Not Well Known Until King George and Majesties" sub, son was that--Iin striking contra- distinction to the custom observed at Windsor Castle -- sightseers were never permitted to view either the State apartments or the in- ithe state banquets. "presenta-, long, and In it is hung perhaps the finest eollection of paintings of the Dutch school in Europe, The list includes the bruches of 'Rembrandt, Cuyp, Franz Hals, Vandyk, and Rubens. Other valu- "able pictures, chiefly by British artists, hang on the walls of the state dining room. Among these are several portraits of English iRoyalties by Gainsborough ard Bir Joshua Reynolds. There is also a very much admired work, "The Procession in Florence w'th the Madonra of Cimabue," by Sir Frederick Leighton, P. R. A. Private Apartments The private apartments at Buck- 'ingham Palace are on the first ifloor, and overlook what is known as the "Garden Front," These consist of their Majes- 'ties' bedrooms, Queen Mary's {roudoir, and King George's study, They are ail commodious rooms, with plenty of light and air, and are connected with one another oy telephone. On the same floor, but {in a separate wing, are the guest 'rooms for distinguished visiiors, ! The furniture of the private ap- ,artments is almost entirely Epg- {lish, much of it being of walnut; jand several of the choicer pieces are superb examples of the craft- imanship of Sheraton and Chippea~ dale. A conspicuous article ;n Queen Mary's boudoir is a.ma- hogany desk, at which she at tends to her correspondence, There are not many pictures in these rooms, but among them are portraits of her Majesty's mother (the Duchess of Teck), Princess Mary, and the Prince of Wales, In the King's study is a massive sabinet, in the velvet-lined draw- ers of which is deposited his yalu- able collection of postage stamps, mounted in specially bound al- bums. There is also a sale where jewels and medals, etc., are stor- ed when not in use. The actual regalia, of course, is always under guard at 'ha Tower. A replica, however, of the principal items is magnificent gold and silver ser- vices which are such a feature of Pleasure Grounds To King Edward's fondness for the open air are due the immense improvements which were effected in tke gardens of Buckingham Palace during recent years. Under his direction, these gardens, whick cover nearly 40 acres, were laid out almost entirely afresh, were further beautified by the im- troduction of shrubs and trees acd additional flower-beds. King rge, who is something of & horticuiturist himself, has kept ap the practice. To him is also due the building of a summer pavilion on a bank near am artificial lake. is often used by Queen My her intimate friends as a in which to take afternoon The pavilion is decorated ut by English artists.
