London July 1.-THE announcement that the coro-
nation of King Edward will probably occur between
August and IL has caused hasty Encouragement OF
plans in all directions Visits to the country and the
continent have been cancelled, and the season has
been automatically heightened to the middle of August
While on all sides there is deep qualification that
the king is well enough to sc through the ceremony.
it is generally accompanied by the expression of the
feeling that it will be the suspense all again.
The shock caused by the sudden postponement of
the first planned ceremony must inevitably produce
national nervousness until the king is actually
crowned Everything except society functions is at
standstill. These continue to be exceptionally bril-
liant and the Americans have never played such
prominent part.
The coronation bazaar proved to be gala meeting
place, and its success a tribute to the American
who did so much to organize It, The Bradley
Martins and the Mackeys and others entertaining
a lavish scale.
rather pathetic proof of society's demand for
perpetual amusement occurred this week when Kube-

General French the dashing cavalry leader and
