Fashionable London Hatter To Fit Elizabeth's Crown London (U.R) Shakespeare aid only half of it when he wrote "uneasy lies the head that wears a crown." The crown doesn't lie so asily, either, unless it fits. The fashionable hatters along London's expensive Bond Street are wondering who is going to get the job of making England's ponderous imperial crown sit easily on the head of young Queen Elizabeth II at the coro nation next year. No one knows yet, but heavily tipped is the firm of Herbert Johnson, hatters to Edward VII, George V and George VI. Actually, two crowns are used at the coronation. Edward the Confessor's known as the Crown of England, and the imperial itate crown, will both be worn. The Confessor's crown may not be worn outside Westmin ster Abbey, so Queen Elizabeth will have to wear the imperial crown the rest of the day. It weighs more than five pounds, complete with its 2,700 diamonds and other gems. Worn Since Victoria It will be the hatter's job to 3 ANNOUNCEMENT For SALES AND SERVICE of th Famous ELECTROLUX Cleaner and Air Purifier and other Homo Maintenance Products pleas .t .

MAIN J 1 make it comfortable. The crown is the same -worn since Vic toria's reign. Befor that, each king had one made specially for himself. It is completely circu lar, looks top heavy and has to sit at just the right angle to give that air of regal dignity. An expert at Johnsons said the crown probably would be fitted in the same way as British guardsmen's steel helmets. The inside would be lined with soft chamois leather and four silk pads will anchor it at four places on the queen's head. A fold of soft velvet added to the lining will give an extra grip on the hair. The crown is so heavy that if it rested on the queen's forehead it would give her a royal-size headache, he explained. Alfred he's the amateur cook who burnt the cakes had a crown made of gold wire but it was destroyed with the original crown of Edward the Confessor at the time of Cromwell's com monwealth. England had no king then. The present crown of Eng land is a copy made from mem ory of the original, lost in 1661. Some say the original was not destroyed but hidden away. His torians say it must have been well hidden as there is no trace of it. Incidents in Past The chances are small that the coronation ceremony next year will be marred by any incidents. But the 1,000 year history of the event has had its moments. William the Conqueror didn't take any chances on one of his new subjects ramming the crown over his ears so he crowned him self after his invasion from Nor mandy. One king never made it at all. He was 13-year-old Edward V, who was murdered in the Tower of London, along with his broth er, by his uncle, the Duke of Gloucester. Charles I started off on the wrong foot by going to West minster Abbey already crowned before being anointed, a breach of accepted procedure. He wore white, a sign of mourning, in stead of purple and complained of the weight of the crown. Sermon Prophetic Then, to make his day com plete, the Archbishop of Canter bury preached a sermon on the text "be thou faithful unto death: and I will give thee a crown of eternal life." Charles had his head chopped off in 1649. James II didn't have much better luck. The crown tottered on his head during the ceremony. His adviser, Sydney, steadied it and whispered in his ear: "this is not the first time my family have supported the crown." A diamond fell out of George ni's crown as he was going to Westminster. Later, when the American revolution started, wiseacres wagged their heads solemnly and said "we told you so. 7 Dime Supper Planned By Degree of Honor Tuesday Night of Hall Final plans for the Degree of Honor "dime supper" were made at a meeting of Carnation Club of the lodge held at the home of Mrs. Virgil Bower, 729 West 13 street, last week.
