KING REPEALS AN

LONDON. Saturday.
THE new reign has swept away one
somewhat ridiculous regulation gov.

tomobilists. who were more In evidence
during the pioneer days Of automobiles

tHeally driven, were excluded from Hyde
Park between the hours of four and
seven in the evening. Even the electric
motors had TO be specially approved, and.

star. without which they found entrances
to the park sacred during society hours.

ENTERTAINMENT LACKING.
In the Victorian era a drawing room was
considered more or less as the mere act
OF homage OF privileged class to the
sovereign. II was devoid of every sem
blance OF entertainment No refresh
ments OF any kind were offered. and II was
held in the afternoon. Etiquette decreed
that all ladies OF the foreign embassies
and legations should stand at right angles
with the royal dais during the whole OF
the ceremony
on one OF these occasions, which
was on a bleak. snowy February af-
ternoon, an illustrious member OF the
British aristocracy. whose duty It was
to stand at the head OF this body of
women, Informed one OF them that In
order to mitigate the effect OF fatigue
and cold she had donned two pairs of
stockings and an easy pair OF elastic
sided boots without heels! AS they
stood immovable for nearly three
hours, It was wise precaution.
Some OF the younger ladies in the
background were standing In the EN-
brasures OF a window overlooking the
courtyard OF the palace. where the
snow was falling heavily. and in de-
hance OF etiquette they sheltered their
shoulders with the heavy folds OF their
trains.
Now the drawing rooms, or courts,
are held at night In the congenlal
blaze OF electric light and are social
functions The women OF the various
embassies and legations. who are the
FIRST to pass before the royalties. are
allotted seats and proceed with the
royal party TO the supper room at the
termination Of the function.
