BRILLIANT COURT SCENES.
Swallowed by Elaborate Plans
for Opening of Parliament

The return of the king and queen to
Marlborough house for the opening of
parliament marks the beginning of the
festivities of the coronation year. The
kings council and cabinet meeting
were formalities required for putting
the finishing touches on the address
from the throne and for the arrange
ments for the military and parlia-
mentary pageants. The ceremonial.
last February will be repeated, with
more pages, equerries, horses, car
riages and color. Lord Salisbury, in
stead of carrying the sword of state,
as he would be forced to do if he were
foreign secretary, is favored by tradi-
ton and will stand al the left of the
king, as lord of the privy seal, with
the lord chancellor at the kings right
hand, and this portion of the tableau
will be parable of the dependence of
the medieval monarchy upon the two

In keeping with the demand for orig
ihality and exclusipeness in the world
of the mode during the past year, the
cali is for something dainty, original
and exclusive in house gowns and
jackets. The day is past when only
the members of the household are to
see them; they are now part of
the social wardrobe of each maid and
matron, and they must be fashionable,
which, of course, means original, eX-
elusive and elaborate.
But there is greater latitude allowed
in the tea gown than in the afternoon
or reception gown, or for that mat
ter any of the garments to be worn
outside ones home, and there is also
greater opportunity for originality
and eXclusiveness, as the tea gown is
supposed to harmonic with the home
surroundings. In this way every wom-
an arranges her home gowns to con-
form with her home surroundings,
and so stamps them with her own tastes
and ideas.
Tea gowns in no wise spell economy.
