TO obviate all uncertainty among
pecresses rs to the gowns and robes
they must wear at the coronation next
June correct costume models now are dis
played in the Offices Of the Earl Marshal,
In Cleveland row. St. James. This course
OF instruction has set aside the belief held
by many peercsses that colored evening
dresses with the robes attached to the
shoulders could be worn. The costume ap-
proved is exactly the same as that which
was in evidence at the coronation of the
late King Edward. There Is an under.
dress of white satin, chiffon or lace. While
tho bodice and train are of ruby velvet
trimmed with ermine. The robe hangs
from the shoulders. with a miniver cape
bordcred with the precise number of
erminc points allotted to each rank
COMPLAIN OF HEAVY COSTUME.
Those who imagine that all is happiness
and joy for tho wearcr of this costume
may stand corrected by the evidence off
those who know. At the coronation of theI
late King Edward many women COM
plaIncd exceedingly of the great warmth,
especially on Il midsummer day, of thcI
two folds of velvet and the crnine cape.
II had been anticipated that n modification
in the style of costume would be allowed
next June, but hopes to this end now have
been shattered.
There Is one feature of the peeresscs'
gowns which change Will not affect. This
has to do with the beautiful embroideries
covering the ovcrdrcss, which attracted SO
much attention at the last coronation.
The embroidery as rule took the form
of armorlal bearings, crests and notices
worked in correct colors. and in many in
stances ornamented with jewels. This
feature is expected next year.
Thanks to Queen Mary's example, the
Irish lace industry anticipates great
benefit from the coronation. 1t Is an
nounced that she has decided that all the
lace used on her coronation robes Is to be
of Irish manufacture, while the maSniti-
cent veil which will fall from 1ler crown
will be OF Irish needlepoint. AS a result of
this decision 1t is figured that Irish laces
will have place in the robes OF the
peeresses.
PEERS RECEIVED REWARDS.
In connection with the coming cere-
,nonial, students Of history have noted
that the great mobiles who acted in mental
capacities at old time coronations did no;
&c unrewardei. For instance. 1t is iecord-
ed that at the coronation of Queen Mary, (
in 1853 the Duke of Norfolk, as Earl Mar
shall, laid claim to the Queens horse and
ualfrey, with all their costly "furnyture;'
Tho Earl OF Arundel. as chief butler, posi-
sessed himself OF the Queens best cuppc

raycnny claimed for his services all the ;
