Pageantry At Par
Pioneering people often discount pageantry. Older nations know the value of the symbol. They regard it highly as a stabilizing factor. The English do not sell pageantry short. The coronation with its colorful costumes and treasured traditions was pageantry at par. The British know that the coronation ceremony is a profitable matter in the realm of trade and the wise procedure in the field of politics. Thf ceremony was broadcasted perfectly The peoples of the world heard thi Archbishop of Canterbury and thi king. So vivid were the d scription that millions who will never see Mondon believe they were in the review ing stand and actually participate in the coronation. Democratic nations would do iwcll to dramatize the great events of their history. Mast Friday Philadelphia opened a four months' celebration of the ses-qui-centennial of the Constitution of the United States of America. The extraordinary personalities who sat in the Constitutional Convention were impersonated. The Mayor of Philadelphia struck the L/b-'tty Bell thirteen times symbolizing the bringing together of the thirteen colonies into a united nation. Indepen dence Hall was crowded The firs', draft of the Constitution, which been preserved by the Pennsylvania Historical society was placed upon exhibition.

It must be left free by the tolerant interpretation that its

London social circles are reported buzzing with conjecture over the outcome of the "battle" being waged between Queen Elizabeth and Marina, Duchess of Kent, wife of the youngest son of the British royal family Those high up in Mayfair circles are watching with interest the rivalry between these two over the matter of popularity and clothes. Minina has be n a dominant influence over British : lyie trends up until lately, but since Queen Elizabeth came to ‘he throne, the latter has been paying
more attention to this peculiarly feminine province Since the moment she married the Duke of KenL Marina has been the “darling of the duchesses” and the most copied woman in England. All this has been a direct challenge to Queen Elizabeth who apparently is determined to be first in style and popularity as well as rank. Th»ir “feud" also invohea family matters, inasmuch as Queen Elizabeth has maintained a critical attitude toward the affair of Mrs. Sii. pson and the Duke of Windsor while Marina has continued friendly to both.
