MINIATURE CORONETS FOR THE LITTLE PRINCESSES
(By Marianno Mayfayre)
There will be a proud moment at the Coronation for the two little daughters of the King and Queen..
As soon as their mother has been crowned Queen they will place on their own heads the two 'small coronets that have been made for them.
Their father's accession. has al- tered the design of their coronets. They will have no strawberry leaves, only crosses, patée and fleurs-de-lys--traditional kymbols of the Monarchs' Crowns.
DAUGHTERS OF SOVEREIGN. This indicates that they are daughters of the Sovereigri. Had their position at the Coronation been that of nieces of the Sover- efan, strawberry leaves would have taken the place of the royal fleurs- de-lys.
Each little coronet will have four, fleurs-de-lys and four crosses patées, and will measure about four Inches across.
CARRIER LOOPS FOR CORONETS Every peer and peeress who ea- ters the Abbey will dangle a coro- net upside down from a finger They will be given special loops with which to do so.
Silk ribbons are sewn crosswise on to the lining of the cap, except in the case of coronets carried in pro-. cession
. As these are held by pages the right way up, the loops would show, and for that reason they are loop- le58..

A Colour Guide For The Season
The latest colours and designs in stockings are in better style than has been the case for some time. The chosen colours of fashion are becoming and fairly pale-to go with the favourite pastel-range. All the fanciful colour-contrasts
have given place to a range of belges, from palest champagne to peach, parchment, and a very light brown.
The last shade is intended for wear with brown shoes only.

Choice grey shades is improved and extended. A silver-grey is al- ways there, but the ugly slate col- our is now merged into mole-grey and beige and grey alllances. A curious green-grey river shade that works in admirably with lizard shoes is good. Greys in hosiery, In fact, have become as well graduated in tints as the Belges..

Ankles are slender and the tops have either a new sort of mesh or rows of sütching that grip the suspender without continual risk of laddering. For general requirements this season, stockings in fine or thicker silk and lisie selected from the belge or grey lines. The rustic und stronger shades of winter have given way to the tender hues of spring and summer.
With the gold and silver shoes by night the very pale beige grey shades prevall over any matching. Idea.
For important functions by night the exquisite shades .in the new long gloves will influence the
choice of hosiery.
THE QUEEN'S CHOICE OF BLUE
Blue is being chosen by the Queen for many of her Coronation season ensembles. These range from the delicate powder shade, through Cambridge blue to navy and Oxford, tones.
