(By ELISSA ST JOHN THE

SOOTCIIMAN)

It must be understood that this article refers to normal limes, the war having brought changes in the conduct of the Royal Pal- aces, as elsewhere.

. It would seem that. uninitiated, thinking or hearing about 1 serv- ant pf the Royal Household. imme- mc itely see a vision of a lordly and highly superior individual who spends most of his or her zlnie lcunging about the rulls or curri- dm of palaces, and when some- thing has to be done. sununonirig some underllng to perforn the re- c. service.

Actually, nofhing could be fur- ther from the fncis.

Despite the numbers of the House hold staff-it runs into I ‘eds-every member of it, from

But ll~c valet. in zidditirui to su-

Ofien. also. he has io i-ldertake work which does not strictlv lie \ ‘thin the province nf a valet.

Yeoman cf fihe Silva-r Pantry Chief Yeoman of the Silver Pan-

ltry, is a fine resounding title. but

ti: actual job carries with it a con- siderable responsibility and a vast amount of w-k.

The responsibility is for scvcrul thousand plcccs of silver plate of all kinds, and the responsibility is not, only for its safety. for it also has to be kept clean and in perfect order.

The Chief Yeoman is expected to (and does) know every set and even every plccc by licurt. and m be able to put lllS hand Lipou it at u moment's notice, and produce it, either for inspection or servllce, in perfect repair and tile highest cle- gree of polish.

He has ten assistants wliosc main task is the wlishmg and cleaning r_ the plate. mid they put in a full working day on it ev-r) day.

Some of the plate is antique, and kept mainly for its value or associa- tions; some of it is used very tre- quently; some hardly at all except on very special occasions. But at any time sonic VISIKCI‘ L0 the Palace may be invited to inspect it, and

and details about any set or single piece of plate in the col called upon to do so. His job is dc- cidedly no sinci-urcl,

Highly Organised Sfaff

‘The Royal Household staff is. of course, a highly organised body of men and women. carefully depart- mentaliscid and with each section or department uudcl" tho (JOlIllIllllKl of a Cliicf or Comptrollcr. wlm ilfC responsible w llic Mastcr of llic House hold. and through him t0 the King himself.

Al. almost all times these depart- mental heads have easy access to the King or Queen, should lxvccs- sity arise. The usun. [iroccss is for the individual concernul to ring up one of the King's pages on the house-telephone and to ask if the King is free.

If the answer is in the affirma- tlvc. the ltcad concerned will ini- m-zdiaicly change ills short. lack coat. whzch is the normal dress of the upper-servants, inr a morning coat. and will then go straight to the King for his interview". No Pal- ace official who interviews the King and Queen ever doés so ex- cept in the oeicmonlal morning coat. tlils ocliig one of the rules laid down by Queen Victoria which still remains in force.

Grades and Ranks

The divisions between the various grades and rnnks of the Household staff are very rigidly defined. First came those (mostly tilled people) who occupy honorary the paid secretarics an gentlemen clerks. Then such officials as the Pages. the King's Valet, the Yeo- man of Cellar and Silver Pantry. dz c. These are known as Members of tltc Stewards Room. Finally come the rank and file, members of the Servants’ Hall, and presid- ed over by the Scrgcnnt-Fkxitman.

The commandcr-in-chlcf , of course, the Master of the House- hold.

Worklng Condition: Many people are under the im- ecslon that Royal servants re- CElVP very hlg.i salaries. but this is not so. The wages paid approxi- mate to those raid in ordinary private houscho (is-and promotion ls very slow. Nevenhclecs, despite hard work at times, the leisure moments of the staff are amply provided for.

Nearly all the Royal residences have their staff recreation rooms, canteens. gymnaslums. 6m, while Buckingham Palace and the other larger establishments provide fine golf courses, tennis courts, &c., for the use of tile staff, who ale en- wllrflged in every way w use them. It. is by no means an unprecedent- ed event for the King himself w pla a set at tennis or a round of gol with one of the servantsl

The kitchens, are necessarily, a highly important section of the Royal Household, and at. both Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle they have w be capable of cooking for very numbers.

In Buckingham P ace they are, of course .very modern and up-w- datc. at any rate so far as fittings are concerned. Here it is possible to cook cith. by electricity, by gas, nr even by the old-fashioned (but still in some cases considered best) |method of the open fire and the l turn-soft. The Ancient and Modern

Bu! the kitchens at Windsor Castle are a rather different oro- position, and they present a some- ;what incongrous. spectacle, with lthe ancient stone-flagged floors land vault-ed roofs hardly blending {with the very modern and up-tn-

date stoves and other parapher- lncil 1 of culinary art with which lthey are fitted.

Nor has modern science entirely succeeded in dealing with seize of the problems which, on certain oc- casions. very much harass the tHOilSP hold staff at Windsor. For instance. some of the diningroulns nrc us mucli as l-ialf-a-mlle distant form the kitchens, and this makes

to table without getting cold on the way a difficult mic ind-cod!

Altcl tlic kitchens themselves are so vast and labyrinthine that it srim-efnies takes minutes for a mes- sage to be conveyed from one part of them to another.

A Tlrlng Business

So it is that. on Stat/e occasions at Windsor, alter travelling liter- 8113‘. miles of corridors, they are very tired servants who finally seek Ytlicir beds at night-and in order lto get to them they sometimes have to climb as many as seventy stairs. So it ls that residence at Wind- lsor is not altogether popular with the House hold servimts—arid par- ticularly the kitchen Ataff—ln spite lof the excellent tennis courts and lfihs fourteen nole golf course it {provides for their recreation. ‘ Reigning despoticallv over the kltclcns. and. of course, one of the most important members of the Household. is the Chcf, who tc-day is M. Poupart, who was for many ‘years also Chef to King George V. O11 Ils Majesty's death. M. Pou- part retired. but was recalled to service by the present King when he ascended the Throne. M. Poumrt is a very great Chef, . and is never happier than when l nut on his mettle by some great and llnlportant State banquet. at which millubci-s of foreign rovaltics or rio- l lzihfitlcs are to he- present. l Ills ilvorst trouble is that at or-l ill narv times the tastes of the Royal lFaiilily in food, as in other things. l ‘is so exfrcmel; simple. 1 But this, of course. ls one of the ,' triif'= that make the life of a Brit-
