Prayers at Palace

On the morning of Christmas Day, the Royal party attended church. This reminds me that one of the few remaining places in London where the custom of daily prayers is maintained every morning is Buckingham Palace, The service, which takes place whether or not' their Majesties are in residence, is conducted by the Kings domestic chaplain in the Palace's private chapel, The cüstom of family prayers at the Palace is a direct link with the reign of Queen Victoria, and nothing is permitted to interfere with The Work of Amusement executed a set of cuffs, a collar, a hat and a muff for his mother, with a design of leaves and berries and her initials embroidered on them.

Son of a foreman fur-cutter at a well-known West-End manufacturing house, he was apprenticed to a city firm of fur manufacturers at 15, The head designer showed him some cushion patterns which he had made, and it was this that gave Mitchell the idea for his pictures.

Lately, he has been able to undertake larger pictures, using süch expensive furs as ermine and chinchilla.
