he fell in the jubilee ten years ago when a falling motto bid fair to frighten the queens horses and disturb the tweet smile her majesty likes to wear Naturally Nat-urally the flairs of all nations figured conspicuously In this carnival 1 o color BUCKINGHAM PALACE itself was undecorated save for the royal standard which floated iboe it The stands in front and along the garden gar-den wall as far as Hyde Park corner which were filled with civil servants household servants and theft friends were more to be noted Tor the happy faces of those they contained tlan for prominence in decoration although the bug lines of national color under the trees were decidedly effective Inleed i was not until passing Constitution I hill that one was face to face with the great effect and noted what the

Devonshire house and bathhouse V bath-house were the most urominpiit I ath house being by far the most artistic scarlet draperies festooned in a ground of yellow and red stripes escutcheons and of flags with baskfls of groups la s wih s I flowers her eand there The universal V R with the Imperial crowns were I not lacking ST ALB S STREET I was completely transformed and presented pre-sented a bravo appearance with its tall Venetian masts streamers laurel wreaths and rich festoons The Devonshire Devon-shire club was notable scarlet and white predominating rich draperies draper-ies bearing excellent portraits of her < majesty In Pall Mall much of the color was established by its stands The Wanderers club at the foot cf i Waterloo Place was decked in a suit of red white and blue A little further Ion Ion I-on at the Pall Mall east entrance to St Martins parish more ambitious decoration was attempted Between this point and Exeter hal the vestry had placed 18 arches formed of colored globes or baloons of celluloid of the V kind used in Paris during the czars visit The supporting poles were about five feet high decorated with an ori I flamme or bannerette of US globes to i I each arch and every baloon contained an electric lamp of tencandle I eletric ppwer Though of course this wa to be best I seen later still it was by no means ineffective in-effective in day time decoration At Exeter hall entering the domain I of the Strand board of works an abrupt ab-rupt change was made from celluloid balloons to a line of ventreve parallel with the footways V extending to the law courts and city limits The masts i were of gold with i bannedettes between j in graceful loopings garlands of paper i and muslIn flowers which were quite j striking effective the design being light and The Griflin the site of the Old Tem j pie yard was ro covered with decorations V decor-ations for both day and night as to be j almost unrecognizable Garlands I I shields and national flags were on the I I four sides while among the mottoes j the most common was Victoria Our i Beloved Ruler of Great Britains I I Realms I i Tio prevailing color in Fleet street I was white and gold and a light

Mansion House stood reveal t perhaps per-haps the most marvelous and artistic artstc bit of decoration on the entire route From the central flagstaff was flown the royal standard surrounded by 25 national banners mounted on flower wreathed poles In the center of the pediment stood the shield of the city of I i London heialdics colored backed by a handsome trophy of national flags and flanked

decorated with > crimson plusCi draperies gold ornaments orna-ments and eirjlems typical of the nation na-tion i A number or heraldic shields backed I I i by ermine mantles and trophies of I national

bullion fringe rosettes and tassels The columns of the i j thl building I were entwined with wreaths and here i and there between depended rich baskets bas-kets of flowers Passing onward through King William Wil-liam street to London bridge Venetian masts were again noticeable bunting gold banners entwined with toners I and having laurel wreaths underneath under-neath a crown at the top of the masts I The monument was draped with lines of flags and festoons of lanterns carried I car-ried to the surrounding buildings LONDON BRIDGE I was quite effectively decorated Both sides supported tall masts topped with I royal crowns in gold and bearing banners ban-ners The first and each alternate mast carried a floral I wreath tied with dR I gold silk and the inevitable 1 letters V R The second and each alternate I alter-nate mast V was entwined with evergreen ever-green festooning bearing a shield backed by a trophy of five national j I flags Each mast or lamp post bore I suspended two floral baskets At each end of the bridge was a graceful floral arch the supporting uprights of which displayed the symbolical 60 while the festoons between carried 18371S97 carre and an Imperial crown
