THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1912.
KING AND CONSORT
; ASCEND QUIYERA'S
k MAJESTIC THRONE
(Continued from first Page.)
' crimson velvet, whUe down the front
: hung a pan (J of -white satin which
, touched the floor. This wag richly
spangled In gold to the waist and
j fastened with a white silk cord. The
Lprlnoeeees wore coronets of brilliants.
' The robes of the duchesses were of rich
green velvet edged with ermine and
' lying several yards on the floor. In their
' hair they wore Prince of Wales feath
er from which hung white tulle veils to
i the waist
i It was but appropriate that eucn a
pair should be given the scepter of the
land as a climax to a ceremonial which
made of the coronation the grandest
In all the kingdom's history. It was but
natural that within the few hours while
this ceremony was In progress the
wooden walls and cement coating of the
Ak-Sar-Ben Ix-n should metamorphose
to a glorious castle of feaudal times and
lead the minds of those within it back
through the receding vistas of history to
the fading ages.
For such was th eeffect upon those
thousands of loyal subjects who were so
favored as to. be given admottance to the
coronation hall. There such a sight as
met their eyes can- never be described.
It was of that grandeur and sublimity of
harmonious color, light, music, and
motion that buries itself Into the sub
consciousness, to remain as a dreamlike
kaleidoscope.
From the first bugle sound the heralds
which called Into the court the knights In
their varicolored costumes to inarch
about in drill lines to the moment when
the bishop placed the diadem upon the
royal brow of her majesty, there was
such a continuation of varied events to
pasa before the spectator that he was
held in rapt attention while that wonder
ment and awe which submerge concrete
thoughts, so necessary for descriptive
purposes, obesessed him.
The very environs of this notable event
were a picture of such yorgeousnees that
a master would approach It with treat
timidity. The frail frame of the den had
been converted into a massive feudal
hall which made one repress himself from
looking about In real expectancy .for an
Ivanhoe. The long nave whloh led from
the south to the north end of the castli
where tha golden throne phone forth from
a background of red silk and velvet, re
flected a sea of light from a galaxy of
flaming aro lamps overhead. Around the
hall there protruded on the attention
huge column swathed In green hunting,
Intermingled with an abundance of tiny
green electric bulbs that shone like sq,
many emeralds. . Festoons of imllax
leave intertwined about them from floor
to the ceiling, around th edg of whloh
were light of red encased In hug red
rose. Yellow bunting drapod from th
epex of the roof completed th color of
Ak-Sar-Ben.
At th north end of this cattle wm th
wide throne dali, ttretchtd from on aid
to the other. Golden posts upheld rod
of gold that formed th royal rostrum,
which was Interrupted In th eon tar to
fallow a wide stairway to lead to the
tory, all manner of raiment of mediaeval
and modern times and clothes designed
purely from the Imagination comprised
this remarkable promenade. Slowly they
entered from a doorway at the left of the
great throne and marching single file in
a long, serpentine procession down the
court they created a spectacle the coun
terpart of which was never to be forgot
ten from any coronation ceremony, not
even those of former kings of Qutvera.
The spectacular drill finally ended with
their kneeling about the , edges of the
court as the four heralds stepped In
front of the stairway leading to the
throne and sent, a piercing blast reverbat
lng down the hall.
This was to announce the coming of
the Ak-Sar-Ben Board, of Governors and
every eye in the great assembly turned
In expectancy to the south end of the
coronation hall. From a chamber on
the east they came marching in dig
nified and ' deliberate steps. Those who
had known them before they came into
the castle did not recognise them now,
attired in the, clothing of colonial time
silk stockngs, buckled ' shoes, knee
breeches of black satin and black satin
coats with lace cuffs and jardau. Each
held In his left hand partly beneath the
arm a black chapeau.' And each wore
a white wig.
As the first In the line reached the
raised platform at the northe end of the
nave, all stopped. They stood In two
lines, one on each side of the nave and
then as the four heralds, two at each
side, ' came together again and raised
bugles to lips, the anxious watchers
turned In the direction the heralds faced
and there, coming from the camber to
the east, was
The king!
Dressed In his elegant robe of state
and shouldering 'the long royal robe of
purple and gold' and rich ermine, at
theend of which two small pages marched
In leisurely rhythmic step to keep Its
train from' off the court floor, ' he pre
sented . a . roost admirable picture. He
moved gradually toward the throne, fol
lowed by the lottle crown bearer,, the
cardinal and the - bishop.' When seated
In his regal chair, ' the cardinal walked
slowly .to blm and placed the crown
upon hi head.
' Scarcely had the throng composed Itself
frorn the ecstacy of when the heralds'
blast pierced the ears and far down the'
hall, from the west chamber, there came
into View the most glirlous sight of all
the princesses of the court and the
duchesses attending upon the ' queen,
walking In adagio procession, preceding
Uor Majesty I , - I ,' i ,
The gown of these, and especially the
regal raiment of the Royal Consort, who
likewise had suspended from her shoul
der the long, rich robe borne up at th
end by two pages, were the glass of
beauty.. Here was a display where the
modiste had "snatched a grace beyond
the reach of art."
Her Majesty' regalia was the highly
unique coup de o'ell of the entire royal
assemblage, and" as h slowly approached
the coronation dais she received a mighty
ovation. ;4 ' ' i5 " ''
After the bishop had placed upon her
brow th royal diadem there arose from
th assembled multitude a glorlou paeon
of happines. for they knew they had
sen seated upon the high and mighty
seat of royalty another great king and
Queen in Her Royal Robes

the richest red rugs of the king' realm
and over an the expensive dais was
spread a rug of similar color.
. A the shining jewel in alt this magni
ficent setting was the throne with Its two
colden chair ready to be sat upon by
the royal pair. Overhead, within draperies
ef yellow, green and red there hung a
cluster of brilliant lights that later threw
an aureola down upon the royal figures,
emphasizing the beauty of their resplend
