It has been described as being "four: square" {(yuaaratu) in shape; one side heing some three and a-halfi feet in length, so as to afford a covering to the shoulders, and hang down in front; the other sides sloping into a teain 'which reached about » foot from. the ground. "These four quar- ters of the. i ial meant are its most important teristic, for they represent the four pass of the world, subject to Divine power. The ornamentation is particularly interesting, As far back as the days of king Canuté we find mention mace of the eagles of gold--the tokens of imperial domination. There was a spe- cial meaning involved in this, seeing that for centuries the kings of Eng- Jond had set up their claim to be em- perars, so to speak, of Britain, and loras generally of the islands of the west, All through our earlier history the eagles remain; but with the later Stuarts a more elaborate design came The imperial mantle of James I, adn: consisted of "a purple ue, shot with gold thread, enriched with gold and silver trails and laggé Howers of gold frosted, the of flowers edged with mazarine blue; the lining was ric! n taffeta, and the fastening a broad gold clasp." : The imperial mantle of queen Vic: Bo displayed o very beautiful pat- tern, contajling various national em- blegs--ie., roses, , and sham- the golden os. The basis consisted of yellow cloth-of gold, with a deep edging of gold fringe, while the whole thing was lined with rose-colored silk. Néxt in importance to the imperial maiitle comes the supertunica or dal matic, worn immediately beneath it. The tunic is made of wsilk, and is shaped something like a jecket with pointed sleeves. The pattern of the tunic worn by queen Victoria was ex- ceedingly beautiful, consisting of green palm branches, mi with pink "roses, green mrocks, lilac-col- oved thistles. Like the mantle, it was edged with gold lace and lined with rose-colored silk, Like the mantle al #0, the tunic is analogous to one of the episcopal vestments. The invest ing with the tunic takes place at the same time that She Bushing and spurs are placed upon sovereign. Attached to the tunic is a belt or girdle almost composed of cloth-of- gold, with -huckle and other conveni- ences gitached for the purpose of sus ing the ard. with which the ing is mow gicded. The sword in yuesiion. is technically permed of state, and is regarded as the personal property of the sovereign. It as delivered to the lord cham- berlain as soon as it bas been blessed by the m N it i» then tached to the de. Curio enough, it is only worn b the for guite a short time.

The vestments, which we have en: fdenvored briefly to rile, all. of them bear a distinctively teremonial'} character. hey, in fact, are the coronation vestments par excellence, At the same time these do pot by any means exhaust the tale. A number of ; other vestments are also found, all of | which have their own special function. First and foremost, there are the mag- nificent parliament robes, composed of crimson velvet. These are the roles which the sovereign wears first of all ~hefore 'he makes his appearance, in fact, They conwist of & Surcost of erigi-" son velvet, g large mantle of crimson velvet, together with 'a hood furred with ermihe, and bordered with rich gold lace. A cap of state, also made of crimson velvet and turned up with ermine, complete the parliament robes. These are worn on the way to the | abbey, and, in fact, throughout the first portion of the sdrvice, until the time for the anointing has arrived, ven they are removed. t of all we must notice the rohes of estate, which resemble the parlia- ment soles, ave ed She Jatec are ol ermson 1 armer « vel- vet. As and the the iy, has: propounced the final henediction the soverign rises, and, in company with his consort, passes ind the high altar into Si. Edward's chapel, which is completely transformed ior each cor- onation. A small table is erected at the western end of the shrine, termed St. Edward's altar, on which are placed the crowns of state, for which dhe cxowns of St. Edward and gucen "dith are now exchanged. On either side of the shrige there is also con- structed a "traverse" or waiting: retire, Here the goronation vestments are removed from the king's person, and are replaced by the purple rohes of estate, It is to be noted that the dress of the queen comsort remains unaltered throughout the proceedings, except, in #0 far am the crowns are copgerned. In her case, as in that of the king's robes of estate, the prevailing color is the imperial purple. LABOR LEGISLATION. What the Ross Government Has - Done For Labor. J.
