MAIDS Of HONOR
Queen's Strong Prtintleal : Insight
Shown in Choice of Fouts
Queen Mary once more has nisplaY-
ed evidence of her strong practical in-
sight in the choice of her four maids
of ; honor, the Hon. Sybil Brodrick,
Venetia Baring, Mabel Gye ahd Kath -
urine Villiers,
The Hon, Sybil Brodrick ISI the
daughter of Viscount Middleton by
his first marriage with Lady Hilda.
Charteris, da.ughter of the veteran
Earl of Wemese; her eldest eister Is -
Lady Tweedmouth. She is a bright,
sensible girl with •ideas of her own
about most things, and has •traveled
a good deal on the Continent.
The Hon. Venetia Baring is a.
dainty, Greuze-illte lady with great
Mete 111 dress,: who always wears
Wreathing personal ana characteristic.
She avoids the prevailing fashions, but
succeeds in appearing smert a,hd in-
dividual without being eccentric.
Miss Gye is perhaps the most inter-
esting of the maids of honor, in so
far as she bas had a cosmopolitan ex-
perience. Her late father was Brit-
-Ish Consul at Brest and she was edu-
cated in Paris. - Consequently she
speaks French as idiomatically as a
real Parisienne. • and ' Queen • Mary'
thought, wisely, that she would be of
Immense servicet• In asSisting in the
entertainment of the many foreign
royalties Who will be In London for
King George's Coronation.
The last in the list of maids' of
honor it Miss • Katherine Villiers,
daughter of the late Col. the Hon.
George Villiers, second brother. of the
Earl of Clarendon, who was 'at one
time military ;attache at Se Peters-
burg, Berlin, and Paris. Among her
Mints are Constance. Countess of
Deeby, and Emily, Lady Ampthill,
both adowager." Her .rnother was,
before her first marriage, Miss Ma-
guey, tho daughter of an American
banker, and when Queen Mary spent
a winter in Florence; a good inanY
years ago, she was an intitnate friend'
of Miss elaeuay.
SOW WRNS ROMS
Will be Worn by Peers inizl P'enresees
-4netructIons issued.
Not a few of the robes which will
be worn by peers and peeresses at the
Coronation ceremony are Cif blistorto

U the family for two handred Year* or
more, and, although aomewhat faded
when compared with the new mantlein
are worn with the greatest pride by
those to whom they belong.
The Duke of Norfolin alt Earl Mar-
shal, has already issued instructions
regarding the robes to be worn by
poem and peeresses. They aro to be of
crimson velvet, and the capes are to -
bo powdered with bars similar to the
"powdering" on the capes of neers.
By the depth of the edging of fur on
the mantle the degree of the wearer
Is bulleated. A baroness, for instance,
wears edging aln. of fur, a vlscountese
also has 21n., a countess in., a
Marchioness 41n., and a duchess 61.
The length of a, peeress's train upon
the grouria-yet another sign of de-
gree -is prescribed by the Earl Mar -
;Mal as follows: Baroness, lyd; vis-
countess, 1% yd.; countess, 1Seyd.;
marchioneas, teeyda and a duchess,
2 yds.
The order concerning neers is as
follows: That the robe or mantle be
Of crimson velvet, edged with miniver,
the cape furred with miniver pure,
and powdered with bars or rows of
ermine (1,e,, narrow pieces of black
fur), according to their degree, viz.:
Barons, two rows; viscounts, two rows
and a half; earls, thrpe rows: mar-
quesses, three rows and a half; dukes,
four rows.
In addition, it is possible that
Knights of the Garter. th'e Thistle, St.
Patrick, the Bath, Star of India, St.
Michael and St. George, and the
Indian Empire will be allowed to wear
the mantles which indicate their re-
spective Orders. If this idea is fol-
lowed out additional splendor will be
added to the scene in the Abbey, for
the mantles are of a very gorgeous
description. The mantle of the Gar-.
terror instance, is of dark -blue velvet,
lined with taffetas. With this there id
a surcoat of crimson velvet lined like
the mantle and adorned like it, on the
left breast, with an eight -pointed
silver -embroidered star, within which
is the red cross• of St, George, the
wholeencircled bY 11 rninature blue
garter.
The mantle of the Thistle if of
green velvet, and that of St. Patrick
Is of sky-blue tabbinet, lined with
white silk. The mantle of the Bath is
red, and on very high State occasions
tbe knights are entitled to wear crim-
son surcoats, vests and 'breeches of
white satin, white stockings and shoes,
golden spurs, and a high -crowned hat
with a plurne of white reathere. The
mantle of the Star of India is of
light -blue satin, lifted with white, and
adorned with blue and silver tassels
with a representation of the Star.
The mantle and chapeau of St. Mich-
a.el and St. George are of blue satin,
lined with scarlet silk, •the hat sur-
mounted with black feathers.
• Quite a contrast is afforded by the
mantle of the -Indian Empire, which
is of purple satin, lined with white
silk, and fastened with pure. silk and
gold tassels, and oh ites left a repre-
sentation of the Stan •

the pennant and flag of the new

With regard to the illtiminatIon of
the fleet, it may be recalled that this
was one of the most remarkable fea-
tures of the aquatic display at tho
last coronation, when every ship was
traced in brilliant lines of eleetric
light, and the use of the fleet's se2rch-

play of beams of light upon escaping

attend a military revietir at Aldershot
and a gala performance at the Opera.
King George himself is taking a
very active part in tbe preparations,
and, being a comparatively young
man blessed with excellent health and
plenty of vigor, there is little doubt
that His Majesty will be able to sup-
port the fatigues of the nunaerous
ceremonies with ease.
The routes of two of the Corona-
• tion processions -that of Caronation
Day, June 22, and that of the Royal
Progress on June 23 -have already
been announced. These will be the
last word in modern pageantry, but

the Guildhall on Stine 29 will be con-
fined to Their Majesties, the Court,
and a Sovereign's escort. The route
for this pro'cession has not been de.-

tention or the arranging committee
to choose other streets and ep-
proaches than those used for the .two
pageants: The route of the return
will be totally different from that of
the approach. .
The Territorials will play an im-
portant part in the celebrations, both

of twenty-one guns. Before he once
more sets on land over 3,000 'thunder-
ous'reports will have assailed his ears!
After a brief rest at Windsor, the
King has arranged in July to visit
Scotland, Ireland and Wales.
During the last two reigns Scotland
has been .especially favored with
Royal visits, but Ireland and Wales
have had far fewer opportunities of
ecording to their Sovereign a loyal
weldome. This • time the three will
vie one with the other in the cordiality
of their reception.
To show the Irish people that their
interests are near to the King's heart,
his Majesty will not confine himself
to Dublin, but has already arranged
extensive excursions by special train
into 'Western Ireland, where the pov-

"One day, leas than. twenty years
ago, when. I got down to the city room
Of the `Chronicle' office in San Fran-
cisco -I wee a reporter on the paper
-I noticed eating over in a corner,
with his hands thrust a bit giuutnilY
into the pockets of his somewhat,
el:tabby sack coat, a little, bristly.
haired man, with a, pair Of large but
weak -looking eyefl Masked by the
lenses of an °nor:noire pair of specta-
cles," says a journalistic friend oil
Kipling's, "He looked just about as
unhappy as a new reporter usually
looks when he is eitting around a city
room waiting for Ids first assignment.
"The 'Claronicle' had a Pretty big
city otaff then, as it always has had,,
and the city editor called the report-
ers up in turn and handed out the
Work. He bad a growl for each of
them about the stuff they had in the
paper that morning. The stuff was
inadequate, idiotic, incomplete, or
something.
"The little new man with the large
spectacles took it all in with mouth
agape. His turn came when all of
the other men had been provided for.
With his customary glare from his
horribly heaped-up desy, the old man
glanced ovor it at the new man.
'Kippering - er -Kappering-Kip.
sing -oh, yes, Kiplin-Kipling's right,
lint it? Know anything about
crooked financial stuff?' the city edi-
tor asked the new man. 'A bit,' brief-
ly replied the new man.
"'Huh!' coinmented the city edi-
tor, 'Well, see nere, KIPPering-I
mean Kipling -there's a fake mining
eoacern doing business down at this
address. Trot down there and have
a talk with the manager ef the fake
concern. Peel nim out. See what he
has to say. We're going to uncover
him. Not yet, maybe, but when we'Ye
"got him cinched. Size him up. Get
his idea, Look him over. Then re-
port back to me.'
"Well, that was Kipling's first as-
signment on the 'Chronicle,' and he
managed it fairly well,
"Kipling was on the 'Chronicle' for
about five weeks. All this time 'Kip-
ling had in his pocket a letter to the
Managing editor, which he presented
one day. The managing editor was
a brusque, busy man. 'Want to write
stories for the Sunday, eh? What
;kind of stories?' Well,' replied Kip-
ling, 'I know a lot about the army life
in India, and--' The managing edi-
tor laughed. 'Now, what d'ye' Sup-
pose the people of California care
about the army in India?' he inquired,
still chuckling. 'Still, I'll look. at your
stuff . Got any of the stories With
you?' •
"Kipling had one of the stories with
him, and lie left -it. Now, don't laugh.
But d'ye know what story that was
that Kipling left with the managing
• editor of the 'Chronicle' tbat time?
Why, it was the story -you've read it
in 'Soldiers Three' pout a thousand
times, I presume ---about the lone-
someness of Private Ortheris, and
how Private Mulvaney comforted
Ortheris out of his lonesomeness;
one of the great and 'Wonderful stor-
ies in the English language, that's all.
"A day or so later the editor called
Kipling into his room and nanddd him
back this story with a smile, and Mid
him that there wasn't anything essene
tially interesting about it, and that
India was a long distance from Mar-
ket Street; and that, moreover, the
story Wasn't quite up to the •paper's
standard for stuft of that sort.
• "Kipling left San Franeisco a few
days „
It may not be generally known that
the drivers of the motor -cars of the
Ring, the Prince of Wales, and the
Duke of Connaught aro all policemen.
The late King's .inetructions were,
"Run no risks, but lose no time."
The latter clause used to be obeyed
so implicitly that Lord Derby once
.when returning from Newmarket a
"horse's length" behind the King, on
whom .he was in attendance, was
stopped in his motor by the police at
Barnet -a happy illustration of the
principle that the King can do no
wrong. The royal drivers do' not re-
• ly on a Motor horn alone. Alongside
themon the box there sits a footman,
wive plays a key -bugle to announce
the approach of the ear.

"A horrid
rash came out all over my baby's face and
spread until it lied totally covered his scalp.
It was irritating and painful, and caused
the little one hours of suffering. We tried
soaps and powders and salves, but he got
no better. He refused his food, got quite
thin and worn, and was reduced to a very
serious condition. I was advised to try
Zara -Bak, and did so. It was wonderful
how it seemed to coca and ease the child's
burning, painful skin. Zam-Buk from the
very commencement seemed to go right to
the spot, and the pimples and sores and the
irritation grew less and less. Within a
few weeks my baby's skin was healed
completely. He has now not a trace of
Irash, or eruption, or eczema, or burning
sore,. Not only so, but cured of tho tor-
menting skin trouble, he has improved in
general health."
