BY W. T. MARSDON. ‘The tragedy upon which Queen Mary, as Princess May, looked helplessly at in her home at White Lodge was that of desperate but fruitless efforts by her father to keep out of debt. ‘The princess saw her parents practice the severest economies. They reduced the servants to four maids, including a cook, and one under footman. This was & staff wholly inadequate for White Lodge and for people in the position of the Tecks. ‘There are people in Richmond today who remiember the struggle the “‘royals™ at White Lodge had to make ends meet Cook Quits When Unpaid. On the occasion of a certain dinner party the cook, in a sudden fit of temper, said in the afterndon that she was leaving. Hard to_blame her, per- haps, with nearly thre¥ months’ wages due. ‘The situation was desperate. A mes- sage was sent to a. pastry cook’s in Richmond for a cook, but none was avallable. There was nothing but that the Duchess of Teck and the Princess May should cook dinner themselves. The menu had to be simple. It consisted of soup, fish, roast lamb, green peas, po- tatoes and a ple, with dessert. The Lamb Was Tough. ‘The lamb was the worst failure. It was tough. Lord Tennyson, the poet, was & guest. FHis digestion was not over strong, but he got through his lamb. Later, when he heard from his hostess hnl: the dinner had been cooked, he said: “Ah, m'm, if T had known that I would have asked a second helping.” ‘That dinner party made the Princess May resolve to learn something about cooking. It became part of the duties of the new cook to give Princess May dally lessons in and in running a kitchen. And what the princess learn- ed she has never forgotten. The Princess May also learned some- thing of dressmaking from her govern- ess. ‘Queen Mary has today an evening frock she made in those hard-up days.

There were plenty with disinterested and honest motives: others, with de- cidedly ulterior objects, who were under have financial rescurces somewhere. The duke, like other speculators, had bad luck and good. He made enough at one time to have-cleared up all his obligations. But he would not stop. ‘Then a bad run of luck set in, and in a few months he had become in- volved in liabilitles to two brokers amounting to $50,000. He was virtu- ally ruined.
