Special Cable to The Tribune.
LONDON. Jan. %i-AlI aristocratic
England is afluiter and will continue
to be so for some weeks. NJ least un-
til all the many questions Of precedence.
of rights and privileges and the like
concerning the coronation of King
George and Queen Mary have been set,
tied by the earl marshal. There are
many such questions and the Duke of
Norfolk, who is earl marshal, will have
his hands full from now op until the
coronation has passed into history
For instance, there is much confusion
to TO who and who will not be en-
titled to receive commands to be
present at the coronation. AS mat
ter of fact, every peer and his wife
has right to attend the crowning of
the king; but, as matter of con-
that all peers who desire TO be pres
ent will notify him. Peers who are
minors, and Irish peers holding seats IN
the house of commons, are entitled to
attend. 1t may. perhaps, be added that
peeresses who have been divorced can.
not be present under any circumstances,
though peers similarly situated are not
likewise debarred. When the peers
have been provided for-and only then
can other claims be attended to-.
Principal among these come the posi-
tions to be occupied by the foreign roy.
atty and other distinguished guests who
will be present, together with the In
dian native princes and colonial repre-.
sentatives, SO that there is very small
hope that commoners will receive
commands - 10 be present in the alb
bey, though room will have to be
found for several distinguished indi-
viduals in various walks of life.
Amusing Discussion.
There is quite an amusing discussion
among society women as to whether OF
not the members of one of the most
swagger clubs in Mayfair were iusti-
fled or not in a certain action they
took last week. A member was con-
stantly singing the praises of his wife
and extolling her charm of face, form
and manner, He became perfect nuis-
ance on the subject, and when he re-
Gently produced the lady's latest photo
graph in a golden frame-his birthday
gift to madam-the younger "sports -
jibed
"What do YOU think of that, my
boy9" he asked over and over again,
as he produced the picture. One prac-
the window and artfully took from the
frame the picture OF his fellow mem
ber' s wife and inserted that of a
woman with name of international
notoriety.
Carefully wrapping the frame up
again, he, and others persuaded the vic
tim to hasten home, and the wife's sur
price may be better imagined than de-
scribed

which King George had to incur on
his accession was the ordering of the
immense number Of uniforms which it
is necessary for the sovereign to have
in the royal wardrobes.
King George, on the death Of the
late king. bad at once to order over q
hundred uniforms, an order that has
only just been completed. The price
Of them varies considerably, some be-
ing very much more expensive than
others, but at the lowest estimate their
average cost may be reckoned at one
hundred guineas apiece. which would
work out to total of $4,000.
The late kings uniforms have al
been transferred to the wardrobe room
at Marlborough house. where several
extra wardrobes had to be put up.
Camphor Pudding.
Miss Ellen Terry is very fond of re
]ating to her intimate friends the story
of how she spent Christmas in Pitts
burg. the great American steel town
She arrived there one Christmas day
with the late Sir Henry Irving and III:
company.
Sir Henry arranged for the party
to have 'Ebig dinner at their hotel
At the appointed hour they all sat
down. The first course was soup. and
it WAS uneatable, and the following
courses were AS bad.
Then came Miss Ellen Terry's Christ
mas pudding. which had been seut out
to her from England.
Every strange" remarked Sir Hen
~. when it was brought iu; "but

with furs and quantity Of camphor.
Princess Patricia of Connnught ha
had the time Of her life in South AZ
rica. The loyal coloaists were carried
off their feet by the beauty of tn,
princess, and everywhere the royal par
ty went it was she who received th,
lions share of the acclamaiions-no
always, be il said, 10 the overwhclmin,
pleasure of her mother, who naturally
regarded herself as the feminine repre-
tentative of the mission, and entitle,
