SON OF ITS HISTORY is IN
FULL SWING NOW.

land and Scotland, Relieving London

ciety Plans for Coronation-Enter-
tainment of All Kinds Provided.

London is beginning one of the most
brilliant social seasons of it's history.
Rarely has there been such busy
three months for members of the fash
ionable world to negotiate and by the
end OF July a rest in the country and
a trip abroad will be greatly needed.
The functions in which the court and
society will participate have begun,
and with the coronation season near at
hand society in Europe has attention
centered in affairs in London.
The fact that their majesties will
hold courts at Dublin castle and at
Holyrood palace will, to a certain ex-
tent, ease this congested state OF at
fairs, as it is understood that Irish
ladies and gentlemen are requested to
attend court in their own capital at
Dublin castle, and similar intimation
has been conveyed with regard to the
Scottish court. In all other respects
the courts will follow the precedent set
by the late king, and their majesties
will remain seated throughout the
evening. The court goes out of mourn
ing for the late King Edward on Mon
day, May 9, and on Friday, May IL,
their majesties will attend the imperial
conference in connection with the fes-
tival of empire at the Crystal palace.

empress and their daughter, Princess
Louisa, will arrive at Buckingham pal
ace on visit to the king and queen,
and on the following day the unveil-
ing of Queen Victoria IS statue, which
has been so long in course of erection,
will take place by the king in the pres
ence of their German majesties and all
the members of the royal family IN
England at that time.
On Wednesday night, May II, there
will be a command performance at the
Drury Lane theater, which is to be
graced by the presence of their maJes'
ties and their imperial guests. The

is Lord Lytton IS "Money," and nearly
all the leading actors and actresses of
Europe will appear in the cast.
