PREPARING FOR THE CORONATION OF KING GEORGE

LONDON. —Though the coronation of King George is several months away, the nation already is preparing for the great ceremony. Public officials concerned directly are making the plans for the event, and the peers and peeresses who will be privileged to witness the actual placing of the crown on the brow of their monarch are being measured for their robes. This applies only to the more recently created peers, for in the older families the robes' worn at previous coronations are treasured and will be used again. The costumers are busy making coronets of ermine, velvet and gold, large ones for the peers and smaller ones for the peeresses.
