London. July II, a m.-Whie the Kings
restoration to health is assured, the London
season is in eXtremis. official entertaining
continues in connection with the colonial ana
Indian guests and charity fetes conducted
on an unexampled scale, but social functions
were paraIyzed by the shock of the postpone
ment of the coronation and cannot be reanl-
mated. Not only are the few balls and parties
which had not been deferred dull and spiritless,
but there is also unsettled feeling of rest
lessness. Neither engagements nor plans can
be made for the next three months until the
date of the coronation is arranged for the con-
veniAnce of the smart sets. Members Of Par
lament are not harassed by the uncertainties
of a social season; they will be equally pre-
pared for the coronation in August or October
for the session will be uspended about grouse
time and resumed after an interval Of two
months for the sake of securing the passage OF
the Education bill. That measure is making
fair progress but cannot be enacted without an
autumn session. a leading member Of Parila-
ment tells me that the ministers do not know
whether to look for the coronation in August or
October, but that the decision virtually rests
with the Kings doctors and cannot De deferred
many days.

the best known women in London society and

Of the most brilliant features of this remarkable
bazaar. The collection Of silver work which
