to wear at the coming coronation. No

Of the king and queen to wear the same
ceremonial robes at their coronation as
were made for and used by King Edward
and Queen Alexandra. The kings mantle
resembles a cape and fits the shoulders,
being fastened in front by a clasp. II Is
made of cloth OF gold woven of plate-gold
threads worked upon silk. Upon the cloth
OF gold IS embroidered a design of laurel
leaves other parts OF the robe being en-
broidered with emblems in various eolors.
The emblems consist OF the imperial
crown. the imperial eagle, the rose, sham
rock. the thistle and the lotus-flower the
emblem of India.
The queens mantle Of wonderful
shade Of ruby purple velvet is eighteen
feet in length. Standing boldly in the cen
ter is the crown. with the genlsta, the
badge OF the Plantagenets. from which
springs a rose tree.
