EX-ROYALTIES AS MOURNERS
Only one ex-ruler who took part in King Edward VII.'s funeral will be present at King George'a in an official capacity.
He is the Duke of Saxe-Coburg- Gotha, who is a member of the delegation.
Archbishop Davidson occupied the seat during the Prayer Book debates, and other peers have also sat there.

Ashes Placed In The

London, Jan. 23.
In the corner of Westminster Abbey which is the last home of the masters of English verse and prose, the ashes of Mr. Rudyard Kipling were laid to-day.
The matter was contested not In September, 1931, long ago. Lora Londonderry was sitting over the clock when one of the Labour

The Speaker replied that no seat in any part of the House was re- served for anyone. Since the seat in question is part of the Peers Gallery, it is clear that any peer may occupy 1.
THE KING AS A PHILATELIST
King George's life-long love for stamps has never been shared in the same degree by the new King. When King Edward was still a small, boy his father decided that he ought to take up stamp-collect- ing as part of his education.
A number of packets of stamps of varying values were shown to the young Prince. He decided. to start his collection with one cost- Many other German princes ating 125 6d, perferring it to others more value because of the tended King Edward's funeral of One was the ex-Crown Prince brightly coloured stamps on the Rupprecht, who represented his outside.

Prince Pierre and Prince Louis of Orleans were then the only members of a dispossessed Royal house to take part in the cere- mony.
IN CHANGED CIRCUMSTANCES As I mentioned a few weeks ago, has been the King of Rumania looking forward to a state visit to this country.
He will now come earlier than. he hoped. But in very different circumstances.
King Carol took part in King Edward's funeral. He then repre- sented his father, King Ferdinand. He will be the only foreign Royalty in the procession who has represented his country at both King George's and King Edward VII.'s funeral except the King of Norway. And he will be unique in having succeeded to the throne t the interval.

SENIOR FIELD-MARSHAL
..I mentioned yesterday that when the King takes the rank of field- marshal the procedure in King Chorge's case will probably be fot towed.
On that occasion the other field- marshals waited upon the King. They were the Duke of Connaught, Lord Roberts and Lord Wolseley.
