THE PENALTIES OF "CORONATING."
•* " - London (wrote "Madge," in "Truth," more than a month ago) begins to look like a wooden city. The stands are already partly erected! all down Constitution Hill, and the enormous temporary room leading to Westminster Abbey is defined by its wooden props. The dust and noise are even now very great, especially as the private citizens are all having their houses painted, a process that income cases necessitates an elaborate scaffolding outside each storey. Our very thoughts are wrongly punctuated with knocks and other hammer noises, for not only have the 'scaffoldings to be put up, but they also have to. be taken down again, and this means the manipulation of long poles and letting them fall with a portentous Crash when nearly lowered into the roadway. t London is really quite horrid ju?t now. Small wonder that so many people are going away till all the fuss is over.
