HIS WEIGHT IN

FORTUNATELY FOR INDIA GOV.
ERNMENT'S TREASURE CHEST
GEORGE V. is LIGHT
WEIGHT"

London, April S.-There Is some
thing unusually picturesque and Ara
Eian Nlghts-like in the proposed cere-
mony that on his arrival in India for
lis coronation at the Imperial Durbar
King George shall be weighed In Cal
cutta against gold aud the result dis
tributed among the poor. This prop
osition will cost the Indian govern
ment about $4,000.
The custom is one of great antiquity
in India. In the past ali the great rul
ing princes when they ascended their
thrones gave their weight in gold to
charity, hut recently the expensive
ceremony has fallen into desuetude.
The last instance is that recorded at
the coronation Of the present Mahara-
iah of Benares.
Meanwhile in England the Lord
Chamberlain is making sort of
house-to- house visitation in his ankle
~ to find quarters for the many
princes and foreign potentates who
win be here for the coronation.
AS usual. several American hos
tesses have volunteered their kind Of
fees. Lady Granard, who has gone to
Paris for a fortnight has offered Forbes
House TO the government for a week
Cora, Lady Stafford has also ex-
pressed her willingness to vacato
Chandos House for the same period,
while Mrs. John Ward, daughter of
the American Ambassador, has been
approached with a view of letting her
house in Carlton Gardens, belonging to
her brother-in-law, Lord Dudley.
sr'Erncst Cassel will place his pal
ace in Park lane, Brook House, at the
disposal Of the government. and Lady
.Naylor Leyland, who was Miss
Chamberlain, will hand over her Hyde
Park house to the royal guests.
An Expensive Celebration.
The government has already book
ed suites at Claridge's and other ia
shicnable hotels, and is paying very
handsomely both for houses and ho-
tel accommodations.
Lady Naylor Leyland, who i'm her
younger days was considered one OF
the most beautiful Americans in this
country. seldom lives in her Hyde
Park house, which is rather u bar.
rack, despite its gorgeous interior. She
frequently used to lend the house for
charity functions, until she discovered
that some visitors frequently took a.
fancy to the precious and portable
goods lying i'm the reception rooms.
The American Ambassador and Mrs
Whitelaw Reid have again placed
Dorchester House at the disposal of
the king. who has gratefully accepted
it.
The Russian grand dukes and the
