Today's hand looks fairly simple at first glance. With spades aS trumps, North has no spade or heart losers, and in addition can take three tricks in diamonds and hearts with high cards. All that he needs Is to be able to develop two club tricks, but that is not as easy as 1t might appear ct first glance.

that he not only escaped the fate

Sometimes it was inherited by the

crowns was rather shallow There

Crowns Broken Up in l649.
With the establishment of the COM

up and sold. In l649 "it was ordered
in Parliament that those gentlemen

have the custody of the regalia de-
liver them over unto the trustees for
the sale of the goods of the late King,
who are to cause the same to be
totally broken, and that they melt
down all the gold and silver and sell
the jewels to the best advantage of
the commonwealth, and to take the
like care of them that are in the

articles on symbolism and sidelights
OF the coronation ceremony.)
BY THOMAS r. HENRY

BY THOMAS r. HENRY.
TINE crown of St. Edward is the
official crown of the British
empire.
Edward the ConfesSor was
the greatgrandson of Alfred the
Great. AS man he led a singularly
pure and austere life, which was the
reason for his canonization as saint
few years after his death.
AS King he appears to have been
Slngularly lucky. During his reign the
Danes were expelled from most of
England, where their hold had become
very tenuous. The heavy burden of
taxation which they had imposed
finally was done away with and the
closing years of Edwards reign were
notable for peace and prosperity, rare
for that troubled age.
1t was the peace before a storm.
Edward had been reared and educated
in France. He was French in his
tastes and sympathies and filed his
court with French favorites. His
daughter Matilda was married to Will
liam, Duke of Normandy. When the
King died the duke claimed the throne
of England in her name. It was
seized, however, by Edwards nephew,
Harold. William invaded England.
The unfortunate Harold was defeated
and slain at Hastings, the conqueror
imposed his will ruthlessly on the
Saxon people, and England became,
for time, vassal state to the Duchy
of Normandy.
Saxon Symbol Retained.
Each of the successive Norman
Kings was crowned with a crown
which was assumed, for the purposes
OF the ceremony, to have been that
worn by st. Edward They desired
to preserve the symbol of unbroken
succession from the Saxon kings.
Apparently great Importance was at
tached to this symbolism. William
himself decreed that the actual coro-
nation should be prerogative OF the
Archbishop of Canterbury, a Norman,
who should have custody of the symbol
itself. The Archbishop of York, who
had an equal ecclesiastical status, was
too far removed from French influence
to be trusted. Although himself
Norman, he was too close a neighbor
to the Scotch and the Danes, both of
whom had claimants to the throne.
Some day, it was feared, he might
connlve with them. If st. Edwards
crown were in his custody, what was
to prevent him some day from placing
1t on the head of some Scotch or
Scandinavian prince? Just what
difference it would have made, with a
Norman actually in possession of the
governing power at Westminster, it is
difficult to say. But that was a
childish age which placed a great
deal of stock in names and symbols.
Crown Probably Remade.
Nobody seriously claims that the
actual crown of ST. Edward remained
intact from the Norman conquest to
the establishment of the common
wealth, nearly six centuries. It prob
ably was remade many times, each
new crown possibly containing some
OF the original material. although this
Is doubtful. All that remained the
same, up to the time Of the Great
rebellion, was the general form of
the symbol Besides there was the
continuous tradition.

Boylan, while explaining the work
of his commission and its examina-
ton Of several sites previous to reach

regarding many of the objections
which have been raised against the

sized that this has always been the

in the course OF time sentiment has
changed to be in favor of the me-
