SEVEN WOMEN

THE DUCHESS AND HER PER- ■: SONAL STAFF. The Duchess of York andherLady-in-Waiting, Lady Cavan, have both left an infant daughter-in England.' Lady Elizabeth Lambart, the tiny Cavan. girl, is only slightly' older than .the Princess Elizabeth. : While her Eoyal parents are. absent in.New Zealand and' Australia, Queen Mary is acting as the,guardian' of the little Princess. The. :,nurse chosen by the Duchess was for.many years with her sister, Lady-.Elphinstone, and she is also' the daughter of; a trusty retainer of Lord Strathmore at Glamis Castle. For some weeks after the,departure of the Duke ami Duchess of York from England, Queen Mary contemplated living at Sandringham, and it was expected that she would choose, -to have the baby with her. Later on, however, the child was to go-to her maternal grandmother,- the Countess of Strathmore, at .St. Paul.VWalden Bury in Hertfordshire, and afterwards 'at

Glands. The second Lady-in-Waiting (the Hon. Mrs. John Gilmoiir) is, a' daughter of Lady Meux, and through her husband is related to the Earl of Beauehamp, at ono time Governor-of. New South Wales, and his sister, Lady Mary Trefusis, who accompanied" the King and Queen when they made a previous historic visit to New Zealand on the Ophir. In all there are- sevenwomen on H.M.S.
