At the Duchess of Devonshire's fancy-dress ball, Mr. Rose (at 322) was dressed as a Yeoman in the Queen Elizabeth procession.

  • "Four yeomen held a canopy over Her Majesty's head. Their uniforms were exactly copied from the picture of the Field of the Cloth of Gold at Hampton Court. These were the Duke of Roxburghe, the Hon. Dudley Marjoribanks, Captain Maunde Thompson, and Mr. Rose attired in scarlet and black."[1]:32, Col. 3c
  • He was one of the "six halberdiers attending on the Queen, their costumes copied from Holbein's picture at Hampton Court."[2]:5, Col. 7a

Notes and Questions

  1. A Madame Rose wrote a fashion column called "For Wives and Daughters" that was published in regional newspapers like the Sussex Express, Surrey Standard, Weald of Kent Mail, Hands and County Advertiser; Northampton Mercury; the Burnley Gazette; and so on, as well as the story on the ball in the 25 June 1897 Northampton Mercury.[3] (1893–1897). In 1905, the column is called "Home and Fashion. A Letter for Mothers and Daughters," in similar papers as well as the Tottenham and Edmonton Herald.[4] A Madame Rose also advertised in the newspapers.
