their pastor that though it WASH t
often that they could attend functions

couragement to this young clergyman
Ia his work in Florence.

report that the King. upon his coronation.
will honor the stage by comforting degrees
OF knishthood upon three w~ell-known actor

slowed. Now the number has been in
creased by rumOr TO three.
1t is thought that MesS-s. Hare and Wynd-

titles go in the direction of the stage. The
third coveted honor seems to fall between
George Alexander and Beerbohm Tree.
There are those who. having noticed that
the King has attended almost every the
alter in London with the exception of Her
Najesty's. say that Mr.. Alexander will re-
