BRMINE AND "PUPPET PEERS.

If several hundreds of "puppet peers
are created before the cOronatiOn-not a
probable exigency-the prices of miniver
and ormine will he doubled or trebled.
Already a stoat skin from Siberia COM
mands over 10 shillings, and it is barely
ten inches long. and by the time fur ma
teriaI has been secured for robes and
capes for a new peer and his wife a
small fortune will be expended. Al
though robes, coronets and kirtles worn
at the last coronation can be used again.
there are many fresh costumes TO be
supplied, and if six hundred ''puppet
peers" with their wives are to be fitted
out with coronation clothes there will
not be enough ermine even at fabulous
prices to go around. The Duke Of Nor
folk. moreover will not know where TO
find seats for these puppets in the Alb
bcy. Poor, harassed, overworked court
official. with thousand details con-
nected with the professions and the cor
onation tableau in the Abbey to be set
tled-he will be q candidate for an in
sane asylum if the lists OF the peerage
are enlarged by hundreds before June.
Fortunately nobody in his sober senses
fancies that so farcical a comedy is to
be played in politics. |. y. T.
