erly Levees were always held
at St, Janie& Palace, but the King
t &sided a short thne ago to hold
them in the Throne Ito= of Buck-
ingham Palace, where the second
Levee of the present seaeon recently
took place. The day on which a
Levee is to be held is always an-
nounced some time beforehand, and
applications for presentation are
received up to three or four days
before the date.
On the appointed day the Yeomen
of the ,Guard arrive from the Tower
and take up their Vositions as
guards at the. mein. entrance to the
Palace. ,Trocipers of the Household
Cavalry' are also posted in the
tomes .through which the . assemblage
have to pass, while venous court
officials take oup positions in .. the
State saloons in order to act' Si
guides to thorn who are to be pre-
sented.
On entering the Throne Room the
King, who is usually accompanied
by the Prince of Wales, is received
by the geeat State officials, and then
takes up his position on it raised
dais. The various members of the
royal family arrange theniseiVeS he-

after them come other distinguished
personages. The latter are marshal -

that each gentleMan possesses the
necessary .presentation card 'rind also
that his dreseis in accordance with
the rules laid down. Two gentlemen -
at -arms are Stationed at the door of
each room, who only allow 'a certain
number to pass through when the
room. beyond is empty.

'it on to one or two more before it
finally reaches the bands of the Lord
Chamberlain. The latter then reads .*
out each name, and tbe King bows
to each gentleinan in turn. Former-
ly it was the custom for the Sove-
reign' to shake hands with those ho
knew, but this habit has now been
abandoned. •
The Levee usually lasts about an
hour and a hall, and during that
time some hundreds of presentations
are made. During the last reign the
numbers attending were unlimited at
Levees, the result being that at one
time there would be an over-
whelming crowd, while on the next
occasion the rooms would probably
be hall numb
