Nevertheless this feature of the ceremony adds greatly to the pomp of the occasion and excites the deepest interest throughout the tem- inine world. It is taken for granted that Alexandra will be the best dressed woman at the Abbey on coronation day. and the peeresses in her majesty‘s procession will display robes and dec- orations to be recalled with wonder and delight for generations to come.
