presented a blaze of color Along the
nave, which was lined bya grenadlers'
every chair was taken up by high OIL
GERS of the army and navy and others In
equally handsome equipment.
On top of the arch separating the nave
from the chancel, sat the surpliced or
chestra. In stalls within with the other
ambassador were the United states
Ambassador, Joseph Choate and Mrs.
Choate and many officials.
During the long wait, Edwin A. Abbey,
the American artist, who was commits
stoned to paint the coronation scene IN the
abbey, and who wore court uniform,
took careful note of the surroundings for
the historic picture ordered by the King.
The peeresses took advantage of the
long interval to stroll up and down, but
the peers sat stolidly awaiting the ar
rival of the sovereign, their ermine caps
presenting solid mass of white.
After l o'clock the organ and band
played, while the spectators, many of
whom showed signs of sleepiness, chatted
or swept with their glasses what por-
tions of the abbey they could sec from
their seats.
