Life
The following is from the London
Telegraph:
Never has an English queen worn at
her crowning robes SO magnificent as
those prepared for Queen Alexandra.
The mantle train, which would have
been on Thursday suspended from her
majesty's shoulders, is eighteen feet
in length and three full oreadths of
the velvet in width. In color II Is Of
a lovely shade Of ruby purple. selected
by the queen herself with unerring ar
tistic taste, inasmuch as its peculiar
and beautiful tone is the only one in
the whole gamut of shades which
would clash with neither the true i'm
perial purple to be worn by the royal
Processes or the crimson of the peer
esses. 1t is lined throughout with
miniver. and the cape, with it's correct
''powdering'' for the queens exalted
rank. Is Of ermine, Of which, also,
there is a bordering three inches wide
all around.
The ornamentation is extraordinar-
lily rich. and presents emblematic fea-
lures of great interest. The end Of the
train is covered by magnificent en-
broidery over some five feet Of the
length, in which is symbolized the
growth Of the British empire. Starting
from the ancient crown and making
this according to the Plantagenet
form. which stands boldly out. is a rose
tree Of vigorous outline. The roots ex-
tend downward or toward the extrem-
ity, where they are entwined with the
f1eur de lis, symbolic of Norman infiu-
ences. Spreading upward, the thistle
Of Scotland and the shamrock Of Ire
land are engrafted upon it, and in
branching lines these reach up to the
star Of India, the whole eliminating
in the modern imperial crown. The
embroidery has been wrought in the
finest gold thread Of many colors and
differing degrees Of brilliancy, by
which means a lovely play Of lights
is insured. The central petals Of the
English rose have been executed in sill
yer and the thistle is touched with
shades Of violet, a little green being
very judiciously introduced in the
stems and the foliage. Upward, to-
ward the shoulders, 1t is seme or
powdered with the imperial crown,
represented about eight inches in
depth from the cross to the base. OF
these crowns there are about thirty,
placed at regular intervals apart.
worked In gold thread, with silver to
suggest the ernine Of the cap.
Equally sumptuous Is the bordering,
which is in three parts, the whole be-
ing about ten inches in width. The
central portion has been worked upon
the velvet itself, and consists Of
branches of oak leaves and acorns
linked by the croix patees and fieurs

delicate stitching as to suggest jewels.
