The location is broad eXpanse of

The scalp was torn away from the

Of the head hung black hair. but the
woman's features were no longer rec

Edward VII, r. L., by the grace or
God, OF the United Kingdom of Great

minion beyond the seas. king. defender
OF the faith. emperor OF India, was
crowned without hitch or harm Au-
gust 9th, and London noislly celebrated
the event for which the world has
waited as. perhaps. 1t never awaited
any other coronation.
In all respects the celebration was
Impressive. and II was carried out with
perfection of detail and lack Of ac-
cidents that has rarely characterized
similar displays. That pride OF en-
pire which marked Queen Victoria's
jubilee was lacking; and in Its stead
there pervaded all classes a keen recol-
lection that only six weeks ago their
king lay I'm danger OF death, and this
produced thankfulness and genuine
sympathy for the man rather than adu-
lation OF the king. This feeling was
voiced by the archbishop of Canter-
bury when he inserted In one OF the
coronation prayers, the words FOR
whose recovery we now give Thee
hea rtfelt thanks" Yet this did nor
prevent the public from voicing appre-
citation Of such military display as the

KING EDWARD CROWNED

archbishop's head fell back, his feet
moved slowly and mechanically, and
thus he was more carried than led
from the throne OF King Edwards
chapel. where he was revived.
The trenior which this event caused
had scarcely subsidized when another
exquisitely human touch varied the
proceedings. and the king was forgot
ten In the father. Instead Of merely
accepting the homage Of the prince OF
Wales, King Edward put his arms
around the prince and kissed him,
and then recalled him and wrung his
hand with n manliness Of parental eff
lection that brought tears to many
eyes.
Another incident relating to royalty
was the presence Of the duchess OF
Mecklinhurg-Strelitz. who at the ex-
press desire of Queen Alexandra. sat
nj exactly the same spot as she occu-
pied at the coronation of Queen VIC

Growing OF Queen.
The queen then rose and accom-
panied by her encourage proceeded to
the altar steps where, under a pail of
cloth-of-gold, she was quickly crowned
by the archbishop OF York, supported
by the bishops. She was then led to
the throne beside that In which the
king sat and her enthronization was
accomplished. The queen bowed to
King Edward. and both walked to the
altar and received the communion, af-
ter delivering their crowns to the lord
great chamberlain and another officer
appointed to hold them.
The pages, while their majesties
knelt. still held the queens magnifi-

spectacle was most impressive and was
made more brilliant owing to the cleo
trio light.
BY great effort the archbishop OF
Canterbury was enabled to conclude

paired to st. Edwards chapel. Neither
