The same explanation OF the disap.
pearance Of private property at the state
ball given at Buckingham palace by

applicable The royal plate was found
TO be intact, but quite considerable
number of ladies lost brooches, brace

was diligently sought for by the ball
room sweepers, supervised by court ofIl-
cers, next morning. and one or two
small things were found, but all the
really valuable articles are still unao-.
counted for.
