ding a Court, although
the officer himself might attend a levee if desirous of doing so; and
this remark equally applies to the wives and daughters of clergymen,
barristers, and others similarly situated.

=Presentations to Their Majesties= are made officially by the various
foreign ambassadresses, by the wives of the members of the Cabinet, and
by the wives of other official personages in various departments of the
State, either civil, military, naval, or clerical.

Presentations at each of Their Majesties' Courts are now limited by
royal command.

Presentations to Their Majesties should be made either by a relative or
a friend of the lady presented who has herself been previously
presented.

A lady has the privilege of presenting one lady only at a Court in
addition to her daughter or daughter-in-law.

This restriction does not apply to ladies who, from official position or
other circumstances, are specially privileged to make presentations to
Their Majesties.

When a presentation is not made officially or by a near relative it is
considered a favour on the part of the person making the presentation
towards the person presented.

The responsibility of a presentation rests upon the person who makes it,
both as to the social and moral fitness of the person presented;
therefore, to solicit the favour of a presentation from a friend is to
incur a considerable obligation, and it is a favour ladies have no
hesitation in refusing unless good reasons exist for granting it.

When presentations are made through official channels the responsibility
rests upon the "office" rather than upon the person making the
presentation; hence presentations so made have little personal
significance to the person making them.

=A Lady having been presented on her Marriage= has the privilege of
attending, by invitation, any subsequent Court, but ladies who have no
official position will only be allowed to attend a Court by summons
every third year. On the accession of her husband to any title, she
would again have to be presented, and should she marry a second time
another presentation would be necessary to entitle her to attend one of
Their Majesties' Courts.

=It is the Privilege of the Married Lady to make Presentations=, but
should any person be presented whose antecedents or present position
