LONDON, May 11 (NANA)— Country children, when the circus oomes to town, experience no greater delight than Londoners are enjoying in these pre-coronation days. This sophisticated, wise, weather-beaten old city has given herself over to the spirit of holiday with completeness and absorption that are essentially British. This is everybody's party and everybody is coming early with the full intention of staying late. From all over the kingdom and from all over the world, people are streaming in to stare, exclaim, loiter and marvel in the streets and to share in the greatest hour England has known in many a year. They find amusement everywhere. There are street decorations to study. Hour after hour, the faces of the packed and slowly moving throngs are turned up to look at the fluttering banners of white, red and blue. Hun- dreds of eyes go half-blind as the sun catches the gold crowns and colored streamers, the festoons, rosettes and shields, the flags—flags—flags flitting and curtseying everywhere in the soft breezes.

LONDON, May 11.—The crown jew- els were sped to Westminster Abbey to- day behind the drawn shades of a motor car and under a heavy guard | of police. The imperial crown, the Queen's crown and the other regalia were taken to the Abbey from the crown Jewelers, where they had been over- hauled. It was a highly secret affair, in contrast to the usual elaborate trans- port in the state coach, with an es- cort of mounted lifeguards. Once in the Abbey the jewels were taken from their cases and laid out in the dimly lighted Jerusalem cham- ber, where a detachment of yeomen of the guard, with tall halberds and wear- ing tudor uniforms, immediately took up sentry posts. The guard will continue until to- MOrrow morning in keeping with a tradition which dates back to the days when the crown was brought to the Abbey by water, with the king's barge- master in command of the warder: bleachers, brave in bunting and gilded | poles, supply resting places on which sightseers may test what “it’s going to be like” to have seats on the Mall, There are shop windows gone med with displays. On a long walk, I saw coronation frocks in some of these windows, frocks of exquisite brocades, smartly touched with the royal red and blue. There were priceless unset pearls arranged against a background of dark green velvet in the pattern of & crown. There were crowns, tiaras and coronets, themselves glowing with emeralds, diamonds and sapphires. In florist shops, masses of white lilies | were crossed by bands of crimson car- nations and the pure blue of delphin- iums. Some of the more humble flower sellers were following the fash- ion with small pots in which blue lobelia, scarlet-tipped daisies and gold primroses were growing all together. Workmen Kept Busy. All day long hundreds of workmen struggle with ladders to raise long festoons and wind themselves into confusing masses of bunting. “‘And me a couple of them little princesses, ‘arry,’” sald one of these harassed decorators, far above my head. “And mind that Alf keeps ’is boots off the King’s ’ead, there.” “Robbie was 'it with one of them welcome dominions,” another man added, cheerfully, “and ’e’s ’ome abed.” But all this is good-natured and in & tone of high humor, even though nervousness naturally increases as the time draws short and as police fence off certain streets entirely and the awailable sidewalk places grow scarce. Hundreds of folk will sleep in offices along the line of march Tues- day night; hundreds of small chil- dren, clustered on pavements, will grow bewildered and weary before the dawn breaks that day and the first Dixie Floor Enamel, 13 Semi-Gloss, V2 gal.

There is to be but one entrance on the river side through a com- paratively small door. Long, covered runways have been built to reach that entrance, and identification de- lays will be many and prolonged. And, inasmuch as the old church is to seat several thousand persons be- sides the King and Queen on that day, and as we are all warned that the doors will be closed at half-past 8 and that any later comers must be turned back disappointed, it is understandable that many of us are planning to start for the scene in what is practically the middle of the night. But they are all fun, these plans, fears and precautions. And great fun it is, and more than fun. For it's all part of & much greater pro- cession than the one that will take place May 12; a procession that started far in the dim pest when the oars of galleys dipped in the old Thames and the folk who crowded the shores to stare at them wore animal skins and carried blunt-nosed cudgels. A long stretch of history— & long story—and our civilization lies between those days and the other day when the new King and his wife and children went up the river in one of today’s speed boats escorted by whistling and scurrying craft. This, by the way, was only one more {of the sideshows that go before the to Westminster Abbey and that one | coronation; it's many years since an English King has used the old river highway, and London made much of it. Smiling, and with a fatherly arm about the eager little Princess Eliza- beth, King George was swiftly borne across the river waters and perhaps the ghosts of a thousand royal for- bears watched him as he went. Ghosts, the old city is full of them, and at such times as these they seem very near. Anne Boleyn and little Queen Jane had to wait for the tide to carry them to the tower, but the great Elizabeth’s barges were helped by silken sails, “most curiously wrought.” Their memories linger everywhere; the Stuart Kings at -St. James’s, the kindly Queen Anne at Hampton Court, where her cherry trees are today in bloom; the enor- mous family of George III taking the air of a Sunday morning along green alleys and the green park, with all London in admiring attendance. And, to some of us, Dickens lives still when we stop at Lincoln’s Inn Fields and wonder whether David and Traddles may not be stepping along presently for a cup of wine and a bis- cuit, “No great debauch wherever they may be had.” Our hearts delightedly and reverently find -cenes of a thou- sand beloved books and not the least Blackstone Gigar /wz%,y é/m......... fln 1CT0. 2 60 28 CABINEIT OR LONDRE: PANITHLA, :fi 1] 104 George and Queen Elizabeth at Glamis Castle, Scotland, shortly after their coronation concert of them, Kipling's, who, like the faith- ful bard he was, went away from Lon- don with his King last year on s longer journey than even to the seven seas. When the great bells ring together they seem still to be singing the song that Kipling taught them, “When London town is asleep in bed, you hear the bells ring overhead in Excelsis Gloria, ringing for Victoria, ringing for their mighty mistress long years dead.” Therell be another ghost forever more in London, a faintly frowning ghost whose heritage was this goodly land, these cathedrals with their memories, these twisted, romance- filled streets; these traditions of matchless valor and achievement. Will he be listening beside some continental radio when the restless feet of horses, Irish pipes, Scottish bagpipes are stilled, when the plumed heads of Englishwomen are bowed and the heads of a million men bared, when trumpets, organs, bells and banners that lift in the May breeze take up the one great prayer, “God Save the King?” To an uncrowned exiled King, what price England then?

LONDON, May 11.—The curtain will be rolled up tomorrow on the fashion splurge of a century. Jewels enough to fill a hundred cof- fers, silks glittering with pearls, dia- mante and embroidery, gold and sil- ver lame, velvet, ermine and the gem- studded turbans of maharajahs will be mingled in one scintillating pageant which already has left its mark on fashions from Maine to Buenos Aires. How lasting this effect will be is another question. London fashion leaders predict it may start the great- est renaissance of elegance of the | twentieth century, with elaborate em- | broideries, colors of crimson, purple and gold established as evening fashions for the next two seasons. A swift reversion to stark simplicity, however, was expected by some ex- static but moves with the times. The ANAMAS BAacarACH | perts, as modern fashion is never | of the Grand National.

For the present, however, the coro- nation fashion influence is manifest everywhere, but it is impossible to en- visage in any American setting many of the clothes worn at the largest functions. Diamante, sequins, diamond neck- laces and blazing tiaras combine to make costumes which it would be vir- tually impossible to wear in any coun- try where there is no court.
