The King Will Take His Crown To Canada The Queen Will Wear Hers Too-With Koh-i-noor

Fashion Secrets Closely Kept

WHEN the King and Queen go to Canada in the spring it has been decided that they shall take royal crowns with them. This will be the first time in history that British Crown Jewels have crossed the Atlantic.

Most likely the crown to be taken by the King will be the Imperial State Crown, which has been altered to suit and which he has already worn three times.

The Queen will be able to detach the Koh-i-noor from her crown and wear it on other occasions planed to her dress.

Two elderly women sliting in front of me looked crestfallen when they were told that Mrs. Normonton does not agree with wages for wives.
