Miss Pascoe, a Cornish woman, has been appointed dairymaid-in-cliief, and all milk, butter, and eggs supplied to tho Court while residont in England will come under her supervision. She will have many Eoyal visitors to her' tiled and marble-furnished domain, no ' doubt,, for most of the princesses take a considerable interest in dairy work, even if they do not go as far as Queen Alexaudra and make butter for tea in miniature dairies of their own. Princess Mary, it is said, has something of her grandmother's taste for and skill in butter-making.
