Great Ceremonial 10 rot Please
Ladies Resent Queens Rt q est That
No Imported Costumes lie Worn.
London arlstoerats are feeling
gloomy over the duke Of Norfolk's sup
plement to the London Gazette, III
which as earl marshal of England he
gives detailed regulations concerning
robes and coronets to be worn by peers
and peerasses at the approaching coro'
nation. The disappointment Is ehieny
among the fair sex, They are not TO
be allowed all the furbelows and TN
sci which, to feminine minds, form the
"slne qua nom Of such important cere-
monlals.
10 BEGIN with, Queen Alexandras re-
quest that all coronation gowns should
be made Of English goods and by Eng
fish couturers has had anything but
an enthusiastic reception. Heretofore
the white satin dresses anoLsruby velvet
robes have come from France ana
Dame Fashion stubbornly refuses to be
satisfied with the home supply 1t has
lust leaked out that the wives of three
prominent diplomats have secretly
passed in their orders TO Rue de III
Palx firm, and 1t Is more than proba-
bic that many other gowns signed by
French houses will find their way INTO
the royal eortege.
Another cause for poutlng lips is the
regulation that peeresses must wear
their robes over the usual fun court
dress, instead Of over the white satin
toilets deliberately trimmed with gold
laces and embroderles which We're de
rigueur" In former days. one thing
alone remains unchanged, and that Is
the robe. As In George Tvs time II
will be of ruby velvet, the cape furred
with mlnlver pure and bordered with
rows of ermine, the number of the lat
ter varying according to rank. Inc
duchesses may show four rows, the
marehionesses three and half, coun-
tesses three, vlscountesses two and
half, while the harnesses Will have TO
be content with two.
An inno8 i9n this time in gentle
mems attr Zach will detract not
little from the gorgeousness and pomp
of the spectacle, Is the fact that peers
are ordered to wear their robes over
full court dress, uniforms or regi-
mentals. At all previous coronations
they were worn over white satin doub-
lets and trunks and white silk hose.
But what has caused the greatest dis
content Is the restrictions regarding
coronets. The clause stating that mo
Jewels or precious stones are to be set
or used in the coronets, or counterfeit
pearls instead of the silver balls came
like thunderclap to many, especially
to the danes who had already had
their blazing diamond circlets pre-
pared.
1t is now definitely settled that only
the king and queen and the duke and
duchess of Cornwall will wear jeweled
coronets. All other eoronets are to be
of silver gilt, caps of ruby velvet, with
ermine lining and having gold tassel
on top. The barons coronet will have
six silver balls on the rim, the Wis
counts sixteen, the earl's eight, with
gold strawberry leaves between the
points; the marquis four silver balls
and four gold leaves alternately and
the dukes eight gold strawberry
leaves.
If peeresses cannot wear jewels on
their heads they evidently plan to do so
on their bodies, and all London jewel
ers are now busy making over and re-
setting herlooms. Pearls, sapphires
and emeralds are to be the favorite
stones. Ropes of pearls are to be
worn from the shoulders as though
fastening the velvet ruby robes, some
what the same way in which Queen
Alexandra wore them at the opening
of parliament.
Contrary to expectation no new
crown will be made for the queen,
King Edwards crown Is to be slightly
enlarged, but it will undergo no other
modification. His majesty ON this
eyentful day viii appear before his
subjects in the same elaborate robes
worn by his granduncle, George "
This costume consists of three parts
The most important is the "dal-
matica"' or imperial robe. 1t is a
three-cornere mantle forming an in
verified "Y" and fitting very closely
about the shoulders. All over 1t are
small embroidered crosses.
Beneath It is Worn the 'supertunica.
n sort of short pelerlne having sleeves
of gold cloth embroidered with gold
flowers. Above both dalmatlca and SUI.
pertunica Is worn the "armllla," which
is also of gold cloth, but has a deep
ermine border. 1t is placed on the
kings shoulders by the archbishop of
Westminster. who exhorts his majesty
to see in this mantle "a pledge of dl.
vine grace enveloping him completely"
