Priceless Gems To Blaze Amid Ern1ine And VeLuet At Coronation Ceremonies
By H. L. PERCY

Limited Press Stan COrrespOndent)
 London, May 4 (UP)-Dressing up for King Georges Coronation May 12 will be expensive, price lists issued by court tailors and jewellers reveal.
 The lowest price of 8 duke and duchess-and that would entail mock ermine on their robes-will be approximately $500, and if they want the best, their outfits will cost g, 900.
 For those who are not entitled to wear any kind of uniform, and there are relatively few such in Britain, the prescribed velvet court dress, complete with sword and cooked hat, can be bought for about $l5O. Other uniforms and robes range between these two ex- tremeS.
 COronets Vary In Price
 CoronetS vary considerably in price, according to the decorations required. The baron's silver gilt circle, topped by 16 silver balls, a cap of crimson velvet, mock ermine and a gold taSsel, costs $80. A dukes, with. eight strawberry leaves, costs $05. An earls costs $105, and those for marquis or viscount cost $10O.
 An Order of the British Empire mantle, apd there are thousands who have received this honor, can be obtained in purple satin, lined with white silk, with cordon, tassels and badges, for $185.
 The coronet price list: duke, $95: duchess, $75; marquess, $10O; marchioness, $80; earl, $105; coun- tess, $80; viscount, $l00: viscountess, $75; baron, $80; baroness, $7O.
 Some of the nobility have coro- nets and robes previously used in their family, with little cleaning and possibly slight alteration, may be used again. But if the moths got to the old robes, or the incumbent's head is larger than the former user, it's business for the court tailors and jewellers.
 Counsellor's Coat Expensive
 A privy counsellor's full dress coat, silk-lined, is priced at $590. This is for the coat only-trousers, waistcoat, stockings, shoes, hat and sword are extra.
 Beyond the official ceremonies, the Coronation is considered un- likely to mark any sweeping changes in what men wear.
 King George, staid and conserva- tive in all things, has passed Ed wards mantle of masculine style leadership to the youngest of the

TENANT AVERTS
 POSSIBLE BLAZE
Alertness of RIaph Leav= en Helps Check Center
 Street Blaze

Prompt action on the part of Ralph Leavenworth, fourth floor occupant of a block at 39 Center street, probably averted what might have been 9 fire of major propor- tions shortly after noon today.
 Leavenworth, at about 1920 D. m. noticed that smoke was coming from the elevator shaft in the build ing. An immediate investigation on his part led to the discovery of sev- eral barrels of rubbish burning in the cellar of the firm of Charles Thatcher and Son, plumbing and heating concern on the first floor of the building.
 The alarm was sent into fire headquarters at 12:25 p. m. and firemen under the direction of Chief Thomas Cavanaugh got the blaze under contro Immediately.
 The blaze had made some pro- greSS and if it had not been for the promptness of the alarm, there might have been considerable dam age done.

royal brothers, the Duke of Kent.
 The Coronation issue of Style Guide, illustrating what the correct Briton will wear, admits that no startling dress innovations may be expected from George VI.
 "The throne has ever been great inspiration to those whose business is to create fashions" the editor states in a foreword. "The sponsoring of fashion by mem- Der of the royal family has often been the deciding factor.
 Homburg Hat Cited
 "One of the most noteworthy of these instances was when King Edward VIII adopted the Homburg hat and the lounge suit. But for his influence, these comfortable garments might have passed away into oblivion as soon as the young bloods of Mayfair tired of them.
 King Edward VIII, too, both during the time he was Prince of Wales and during his brief reign, was responsible for many of our fashions. During his 25 years of public life he, perhaps more than any other, was the instrumental factor in Britain's ertaining world leadership in style.
 "The present King, George VI, has never been seen other than correctly dressed. His tastes are conservative the manner in which he wears them is the essence of neatness. Even at camp in summer his shorts are properly creased, his coat correctly buttoned. It is unlikely that he will be re- sponsiblc for any startling innova- tions in dress.
 Kent Has Flair
 "The Duke of Kent promises to assume the mantle of style leader ship. While he is rarely extreme, he has a definite flair for the un- usual. For some time now the styl- ists, both of this country and the United States, have regarded him with increasing interest. The pres ent day fashion of wearing a dou- ble-breasted dinner jacket with a soft shirt and collar is considered to have reached its present popu- larity in England on account of his well known fondness for his dress"
 The essence of Style Guide is that, Coronation or no, man may wear just about what he pleases, within reason, and be correctly dressed.
 Collar points are somewhat cut away and short, with a wide open ing. to take a large knot of the cravat. Dinner jackets are single or double-breasted, peaked or shawl lapel. For the single-breasted model, a wing collar is obligatory. and so is an opera hat, Style Guide says.

Nearly One-half of all the persons gainfully employed in New England must look to the manufacturing concerns of this region for their means of livelihood. Moreover, a large proportion of those employed in the SO-called service industries would be unemployed if 1t were not for the buying power represent ed by manufacturing payrolls.
