THE FAR FLUNG EMPIRE

King's Subjects

Gather

London.

The King's subjects gathered in their hundreds of thousands to give thanks and pay homage to their sovereign on the 25th an- Ziversary of his succession."

From all parts of the world-they have collected,

Canada, Front Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India, Malaya; trom Scot land, Ireland, Wales; from remote | dependencies and far-flung à out- posts of the Empire; from our own industrial Midlands and from the quiet countryside of England; men of all kinds and degree, all races. creeds and of every colour. to- "gether with their wives and famil- les in many cases-they have come Home.

Accompanied by his Queen, the King drove through the streets of London to St. Paul's Cathedral for 21 service of thanksgiving. On June 3, the King will celebrate his 70th birthday.

The King's subjects all over the British Comonwealth of Nations can congratulate themselves that they have had on the throne dur- ing the past twenty-five years a 'man of such wisdom and devotion

to their walfare

It has been a period of testing and change. Political convulsions degan soon after the King"mount- ea the throne, Then came the Great War..."Booms", and "slumps" followed. England was paralysed py the General Strike in 1926. The King became seriousy ill in 1928. Word "depression" set in; and An- ly where was the National Gov- ernment crisis and the abandon- ment of the Oold Standard

Aswunding changes took place in the daily lives of the people. The motor-car, the aeroplane and wireless came Into their OWIL. Whole industries tottered; fresh ones emerged. The fashions and the manner of the nation altered. Women got the vote.

Throughout all this time of stress and change, the subjects of the King have looked to him with ape and continence; as the chil- dren of an enormous family look up to the read of the house. Their trust has not been vain.

Now, in the heart of the Empire, they have come to celebrate the Silver Jubilee.

MARCH PAST

The march-past of the · 25,000 troops at Aldershot will alone take two hours; and at the Air Force review there will not only be "dy-past," of every type of ma- chine, but there will also be stunt- Mying by no less than 400 serd- planes,

At the Albert Hall there will be a public: Thanksgiving Service on May 8, at which a choir at 1,000 boys will sing.

BOAT PROCESSION ·

There will also be a torchlight procession of boats on the Thames from Greenwich to Richmond or- ganised by the Thames Conser- vaficy, and a great national de- monstration of etvil aviation for the last 25 years.

The basque, sleeves and edge of the skirt were very fully trimmed with Trils of fine black lace. The bodies of the dress, however, was entirely covered by a black rause cape, which had incrustations of beautiful white lace let in. The bonnet was black and white, with a little silver introduced.
