Henry VII | For more than four hundred years | they have preserved their title and | quaint uniform---scarlet tunics faced | with blue and gold, red breeches and | stockings, broad-brimmed hats of dark blue velvet, with red, white, | and blue ridbons, and Elizabethan ruff. i About one hundred strong, and of- ficered by a captain (usually a peer), the Yeomen of the Guard form the bodyguard of the Sovereign on state occasions. It has been their historic duty te the grave. This last ceremony was omitted in 1901, but at the funeral of King Edward VII the Yeomen marched from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall, where they watch- ed by the body for three days and three nights. At one period the Guard were re- sponsible for the personal safety of the sovereign. They brought up his ineals, tasted the food before ft was placed on the royal tabie, and carried out every evening an ¢laborate cere- monial known as "making the king's bed," while an officer vf the Guard slept on a truckle bed outside the king's bedroom. | The Beefeaters, or Tower Wardens, | Are attached to the Yeomen of the Guard, but they are quite a distinct | body.

The future Mrs. Newman, with her flance In her thoughts, suggested that the name Philip might serve the pur- pose. At that moment who should come up unobserved behind the two girls but Thackeray himself, whe asked why the young people were deep in conversation. Miss Thack- eray revealed the subject under dis= cussion and told him her friend's . "Admirable!" was Thackeray's verdict. "And now, my dear," he continued, "what is yo own name?" "Charlotte."
