WHAT MAIDS OF HONOR DO. a] About the Daily Duties of the Queen's ai .Most Constant Companions. til E Pearson's Weekly. at - The most coveted position -among the gentlewormen in the kingdom is that of -naid of honor to Queen Alex andra. At the moment, four ladies hold this honorable position. Wher- d( ever the Queen goes-to state fune tion, ball, theater, party, at home or abro'ad-at least one .maid will be in e b constant attendance upon her. Yet, q though so much sought after, the post T is no sinecure. It requires a parti- . cularly talented lady to fulfull all the Queen's requirements. That they must be daughters of Ur1bwUL Uk , L. . course, essential usually they are daughters of grand daughters of peers-but, failing their right to a title, or precedence by birth, they are allowed the prefix of honorable immediately upon appoint ment to office. A maid of honor's day commences immediately after the Queen has breakfasted. Though her majesty's d( private secretary will see to the bulk of the correspondence the morning's post has letters of a more or less con- ti fidential and private nature, which S, the Queen will answer personally, ill through one of her ladies-in-waiting. st That, alone, requires a maid of honor te to be an accomplished linguist, for C1 almost daily Quecil Alexandra receive communications from her numerous D relatives in different parts of Europe. S1 Immediately this is over, and if the pi weather be fine, the Queen, who I spends. a good deal of her time in the P open air, especially when staying at (11 Sadringham and Windsor, will order F her carriage, for a lengthy drive. A maid of honor always accompanies C her majesty; while on these rare oc- sq casions when the Queen goes out on li4 horseback one of her ladies. similarly Ii mounted, rides with her, To the management of horses will re be added the care of the sick and the of poor. For it is on such occasions that the Queen pulls up before some of the s cottages of her villagers and sends t her maid of honor to inquire as to the ot health and prosperity of the inmates. Back tc luncheon, there is usually at some function at which the Queen, e and, of course, one or more of her T maids of honor, must attend. If a eC king or queen or any one of princely rank, is visiting King Edward the at maids of honor must be present with CI the Queen, sto greet them on arrival. II During the season when drawing dt rooms are held the maids take part in the royal procession to the throne, at and are in attendance upon her ma- F: jesty throughiout' the ceremony. At state concerts they sit immediately at behind the Queen and her daughters. in At state balls they are always close en at hand to adjust the Queen's cloak or c wrap, or to. take her fan or flowers le from her. ni SAN SALVADOR. Built on a Volcano, the Results Are ~ Somewhat Startaing. O San Salvador is built on a volcano. edi It has been three times destroyed by an earthquake, but the people are be.. coming accustomed to such excitement now. Earthquakes aro pr'etty frequent, and, while one is 'naturally nervous, se there is really little danger to life; ge The shocks hayc been known to come o as frequently as eight times in an i hour. ,a The effects are quite peculiar. In a the city is a brick colun, nine feet p high and three feet spuare, which was removed a hundred feet without b losing its perpendicular og oracking B. the mortar. The ground under the city is full of I caverns of unknown depth. A mank was digging a wvell there. The last k stroke he gave with his pick the bot tpm fell out, and ho and his pick and all fell through, no6body knows I where. There is y volcano not far from Santi Salvador that some years ago dis ,hngew~sa ovier a forest. The wooe 4utual Life" is the Oate fortunes is, by the StatA Law ompany.
