CORONATION PARTIES
TO BE HELD IN STREETS. ON CORONATION DAY. From a Special Correspondent). (By Air Mail). London, January 12. On Coronation Day it will be impossible for traffic to pass down any but the main streets in the East End of London. All the side streets will be filled with tables, around which the street children will be having a tea party. Flags, bunting and streamers will be hung from house to house, “gold” crowns will be fastened over doorways, pianos will be out on the pavements, there will be entertainments in the gutters. Practically every side street in the East End has already started to make arrangements for its celebrations. In each a small committee of residents has been set up to collect 2d or 3d a week from every house in the street. In many streets the treasurer of the fund has posted the amount collected in his window so that all the street can see how they are getting on and compare their fund with that of the neighbouring streets.
