foro tho departure of tho king for Paris
and tho Riviera. Great efforts havo
boon mndo to shorten the service nt
Westminster Abbey. If tho ecclesias
tical vutliorlties wero allowed to huvo
their way, tho service would occupy flvoi
or six hours, with an olllclal require
ment that tho spectators should be in

nnd tho musical part of tho service will
probably bo curtalivd.
