for the king originally conferred it, by
addressing the person whom he wished
to honor. with the word -CubraoS''
(cover YOURSELF This constituted a
declaration that the king regarded the
nobleFnen as his equal. The order of
grandees was divided into three classes
First, those who covered themselves at
once before addressing the king: sec
ond, grandees who covered themselves
after speaking to his majesty, but be-
fore they received his answer: and
third, those who could only assume
their hats when they had made their
last ooeisance and retired into the
crowd of courtiers. At the present day
the formal Spanish gentry show great
courtesy to the hat of a visitor He is
not allowed to hold it in his hand nor

the punetilious don and cushioned like
a crown on the best sofa or chair in
the room.
The same symbolism will mark the
ceremony in Westminster abbey. The
king is but first among his equals, and
by assuming their coronets at the mo-
ment his majesty receives the crown
the mobiles of Britain declare them
selves his peers. Subsequently they
signify their service to the king by re-
moving their coronets before doing
homage 10 him. The judges likewise,
proclaim their equality with the SOW
ereign by covering themselves in his
presence. The famous black Golf or
cap of cloth is not reserved for the
passing of sentence of death only but
is part of the judicial garb, signifying
the judges dignity and power. With
IL he covers himself in the royal pres
ence, and if the king should enter
court where civil or criminal cases
were being tried, the presiding judge
would Immediately don his black cap.

wearing of the hat in parliament. II
