ROYAL TROUSSEAU
PRINCESS LIKELY TO PAY HEAVY DUTY . LONDON, November 15. The "Daily Express" says that Princess Marina will have to pay heavy customs duty on her Parismade trousseau when she lands at Dover next week, but her selection of new clothes will be the smallest a Royal bride has collected in recent years. "Fashions change so suddenly that I don't want to buy too many clothes," said Princess Marina more than once to her dressmakers. She has chosen two morning, seven afternoon and seven evening gowns. Princess Marina will arrive in London for the wedding on Wednesday, November 21. She will travel from Dover with her parents in a special train to Victoria Station, where she will be met by the King and Queen, the Duke of Kent, the Prince of Wales, and other members of the Royal Family. Stands for the many spectators to witness the processions from Westminster Abbey on the occasion of the wedding of the Duke of Kent are being erected in Parliament Square and elsewhere along the route. These special stands, and I buildings on the route, will be decorated with the Duke's emblems; and the national flags of Greece and Denmark.
