Correspondence of The Journal ~
London, March 1-One of the oldest
things about the coming coronation Of
King Edward is the fact that the Duke
OF Norfolk who is stage managing the
spectacle, which lis intended to be one,
of the most grotesque of modern times,
and who is giving directions for the guild
ance of peeresses and dressmakers, is a
parsonage whose Indifference to matters
of dress is notorious. ~
He is earl marshal of England, and for
centuries scionS of the noble house to
which he belongs have arranged the eOro-
nations Of English kings, yet he provokes
smile in fashionable Pail Mall as he
slouches along in a felt hat that looks
as if it had been fished out of the rag
bag and a coat as disreputab1e. More
than one visitor to his splendid castle
at Arundel has mistaken his host for the
man who was to look after his luggage.
The duke has just had new photograph
taken, in which, for once, he really looks
as if he were entitled to the distinction
of being the premier of English dukes
and peers. All the other picturestof his
grace give him the appearance OF having
donned the oldest clothes he could find,
and makes one believe that some of the
numerous stories told of the dukes being
mistaken for his gardner or hostler may
be true. go ~ saSxSs s ssSf
