WHEN ROYALTY IS CROWNED

Notables In Dresden China Dinner tables are more formal this year of the Coronation than, they have been for <a long time, notes a London contributor. Tablecloths are being used again, with English cut glass. A newly -designed centrepiece ;s a cutglass rose bowl on the matching pedestal that can be inverted and used as a smaller bowl. Flat troughs for flowers are now made in sets of three, a square shape wi h a rounded one to flank it at either end. Coronation gold is a favourite colour for these, and another sugges ion for table\ decoration is a Dresden china figure representing one or other of the various notables who will be taking part in the Coronation procession. Tit. Ijls'.er King-of-Arm. is ono, for instance, and a gen leman-at-arms another. For convalescents there are complete dinnerJn-beds sets of white ■poit-’i-y. gaily patEi-ned with coloured flowers, i: ( omprises everything you w'ant,. from a hot plate ! to a tiny sauceboat, and all the pieces are. arranged on a painted wooden tray. Pottery 'tra.y s are another nov-eity. They are designed by Madame Greta de ’Snellman-Jaderholm, whose Finlandia pottery is most attractive. The trays, which can be used for coffee o»’ tea or cock!ails, are. light in weight and have a crackle I surface painted in pastel s.h”d<- fl :l ed ■ n the ronir- wifh mon-, of t’owt.Tor b:rds or fish.
