In addition to train, she will wear a velvet robe of scar- let, edged with ermine, the whole over a {tilled white dress.

Experience in handling crowds in recent years shows thst great num- bers of people can be moved more quickly thsn in 1911. snd that there is no advantage in attempting to close all sections of the route at or about the same early hour. Every effort is to be made to save spectators from the endurance tests that were imposed by the long hours of waiting before and after the Cor. onation of King George v. and Queen Mary, and it is believed that a speed- ing up will be found practicable. Similarly, because of the long wait and the length of the ceremonies, members of the 8,000 congregation in the Abbey will be permuted to carry with them-as unobtrusively u pon- tsible-sandwiches or other l:ght. fare to sustain them till they can return home. , Peeresseig will carry lunches in embroidered satchels. matching their Court gowns and concealed beneath their robes.
