crowd g2zed fas, ..1 1t was a di- rect appeal, of course, to the prim- any and unchanging element of hu- man nature, much the same ill 1911 as in 1066.
 Gentlemen with tinted faces, dress ed like cozy corners, turbaned, up- holsteled and done up to kill, fitted crowd laughed.

It advanced in three sc1- emn cohorts, leaving Buckingham Palace at 9:30 and passing by the Mall, the Admiralty Arch and down Whitehall. I greeted it at Parlia- ment street one and half hours later There were the trumpeters of the First Light Guard, the squadron of the First Light Guards and the First Division captains escort.

 No gasoline, after all, for grandeur; no automobile procession of potent- ates, but horse flesh and plenty of 1t. Shining, glossy, exquisitely grocmed, every carriage of red and gold and embroidery had a roof on it. The first held Desjamatch Kassa, of Eth opia, and Prince Mohammed Ali, of Egypt; the second, hereditary grand duke of Meckleberg-Stre1itz the third, Duke Ernest Augustus, of Bruns nswick-Luneburg and other dukes.

 King George and Queen Mary were for England and on this occasion were the only sovere:gns in the world Following the hoofs of the first procession came five carriages, full of the royal family, the sisters and the cousins and the aunts. Their faces glinting through the closed windows were as vigorously unbudg- ing as funeral.
 Royal ladies must lave senss of humor sometimes and surely this might not cause it to emerge. All this was merely soup, premonitory of the joint. The good juicy joint left Buckingham Palace at 10:30. My wife and friends told me it was il o'clock, when. bareing their heads, the crowd appeared to greet King George V ,and Queen Mary.
