Loudon, March, 7-The King will hold five Courts at Bucking- PARIS ham Palace this year. The dates have been decided upon by his Ma jesty and will be announced in due course by the Lord Chamberlain.

Only once since the King's illness in 1828 have five Courts been held in one year. This was in 1930, when four Courts took place in May and one in July, and it is probable that this year's Courts will be grouped in a similar plan. The decision to hold an addition al Court to the normal four was takell, it is understood, to cope with the great rush for applica tions received by the Lord Cham berlain from fadies anxious maka presentations.

Five Royal Courts will give a great impetus to the London season of 1933, and in many quarters the decision is regarded as a welcome sign of a growing revival in trade, and an increase in prosperi ty. The additional Court will stimulate activity in scores of
