* THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 1929 Si INDRINGHAN THE COUNTRY HOME OF ENGLAND'S KINGS Where Tired Monarchs Go to Gain Respite From = _, Affairs of State "oe By Horace Wyndham 1t is to Sandringham that King George invariably betakes himself when he wants to have a respite from the ceremonial round con- nected with Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle. This is be- cause in his Norfolk home he en- joys a real rest, and can live to the full the simple life of an English country gentleman. No bustle of State or challenging of sentries or gorgeous uniforms--the servants are in quiet liveries, and plain clothes are the rule for the little handful of officials on duty there. Sandringham Hall (as it is pro- perly known) is a country house, not a palace, and was built for comfort, rather than show. The material is red brick, mellowed by time to a pleasantly warm tint, with dressings of white stone, and mullioned windows that give it an Elizabethan appearance. But the Hall is really modern, as the oldest portion was erected in 1870, and the newest one in 1883. Homely Assembly Hall The entrance doors lead into a large square hall, oak panelled and deeply recessed. Comfortable arm chairs and couches, soft rugs, and brightly burning log fires render this an attractive place of assembly for the members - of thé house- party. It is where they meet every morning after breakfast, to discuss the plans for the day; and again for afternoon tea, and to chat un- til it is time to dress for dinner. A stranger who is paying his first visit to Sandringham is apt to get a shock when he looks at his watch and discovers that it has lost half an hour since his arrival. But it is the clocks that are fast, not his watch that is slow. The cus- tom of keeping them 30 minutes ahead was introduced by King Ed- ward, who once lost a train. In this connection there is a story of a bishop, who handed his %. chronometer to the Sandringham © butler with instruction to send fit " off to London for repair. "It has never lost a minute," he said, "yet, as soon as I got here, it suddenly went slow." Everything Comfortable The new C.N.R. oil-electric loco motive made its first trial rum Monday from Montreal to the C. N.E. The trip was emblematic of the gigantic strides railroading has made since the days of the "Rocket." The new locoomtive mot NEW C.

While the equerries and senior officials have their own quarters, what may be called the 'public' rooms at Sandringham, are the Gin- ing-room, ball-room, drawning- room, smoking-room, and billiard- room, etc. These are all on the ground floor, and are characteriz- ed by solid comfort, rather thun display. The dining-room can seat 50 guests, seldom exceed 20 in number, King and Queen sii another in the middle of the table, Of ceremony is observed, and conver- retead sation is are expected to wear ordinary tail coats and white waistcoats, knee breeches and black silk stock- general.

Dinner-jackets, by the way, are never seen at Sand- ringlam. Dinner seldom lasts beyond an hour; and very soon after the | Quech and the ladies have left tye table, everybody repairs to the drawing room. This is a beautiful room, with windows reaching from ceiling to floor. The walls are panelled. in a delicate pink and blue, and the mouldings are of gold and cream; and, instead of a car- pet, the parquetried floor is cover- i| ered with Indian rugs. The private apartments at Sand- ringham are situated on the first overlooking the gardens. They consist of Their Majesties' bedrooms, King George's study, | and Queen Mary's houdoir. In these i two latter rooms are kept a num- ber of intimate and personal be- longings that have been brought there from York Cottage and Buck- ingham Palace. The study has many souvenirs of ite Royal! own- er's naval career and his travels in the Overseas Dominions. A fea- { ture of this room is a big, work- manlike desk, at which His Majes- ty conducts his correspondence. Garden Glories At Sandringham there {is much | to see, and guests are encouraged {to wander all over the estate. A | 200d deal of time is certain to he {spent in the gardens. Under tne fostering care of Queen Mary, these have reached a very high pitch of perfection. The favorite i flowers of herself and the King are ; carnations, and special beds are ! planted under their windows. | . By the express wish of Their ! Majesties, the Sandringham garda- ens are thrown open twice a week to the public. A small charge is made for admission, and this is de- voted to the support of charitable | institutions 'in the locailty. The coach house is always an ob- ject of interest to viistor$. Among the 'exhibits' there is a Russian sleigh, together with a droshky in which three horses can be driven abreast. These were ptresented to King Edward by the Czar of Rus- sia. Another vehicle that is now quite as historic is a seven h.-p. motor car, dating from 1898, and pathetic interest attaches to a bas- ket phaeton in which Queen Alex- andra was accustomed to drive. But Sandringham possesses many other links with Queen Alexandra's long residence there. One of these . is a model dairy, which still serves to supply the Royal table. It was erected shortly after her marriage, and was modelled on the type with which she had been familiar in Denmark. Adjoining it is a pleas- ant little tea-room, where Queen Mary likes to entertain her special friends. Sport At Sandringham Sandringham {is instinct with an- imal life. The woods are always full of song birds; squirrels hop from branch to branch in search pheasants crouch among the bracken; rabbits frisk | in the gorse; and on the lake and ponds are wild fowl, duck, and teu: ~--Everywhere fur and feathers. King George has done much to improve the Sandringham pre- serves. He is one of the best shots | in England, and those invited to ! shoot with him are expected to give i a good account of themselves. Dur- ing the partridge and pheasant sea- sons he often acts as host to his and another for the vants of the household." LJ their family make a point of at- tending the latter. They are thor- oughly enjoyable (and democratic) functions, when all ranks and grades meet on an equal footing. At other times the ballroom is devoted to theatricals; and leading actors and actresses are summoned from London to give "command performances' on a well appointed stage. As this is somewhat small, special scenery has to be provided. For many years past King George and Queen Mary have made a habit of spending Christmas at Sandringham, The December party is always limited to members of the family, with, perhaps, a few very special and old friends. The Sandringham Christmas is a real "old-fashioned" one. Thus, the Hall is decorated throughout with holly and evergreens; there is a big tree, loaded with gifts, for the younger folk; a banquet in the eve- ning, with plum-pudding and erack- ers; and, finally, a ball with which to wind up the day's festivities.
