KING GEORGE ORDERS
EXTENDING MOURNING
His Action Likely to Be Much
Appreciated by Subjects
of Mikado.
BY I.A UAItqX'ISE DD KOSTKXOY,
KINO GEORGE'S actlot? In ordering
t!<ree weeks court mourning for
the lato Emperor of Japan,
Stltutcs an entirely new departure for
the reigning houses of Europe, and I |
Huuh is likely to b? much appre?
ciated by the successoi and the sub?
jects of the dead -Mikado. The latter, |
ever riiie,; 1SS0. that is to say fur moto |
than twenty years, made a point of j
ordering court mourning Whetievei he
was officially notified of tl ? ? bei ISO
of any of tiio Werten, sovereigns or .
of any member of their families. He i
;.lnr.,i the dlFnltartes 0f his house-;
I hold and the great officers of tho
: realm in mourning for thtj deaths of
i tho last two Oeirui.in Emperors, King
. Humbert. King Edward. Queen VI - ;
I toria. the Cmprcsa of Austria, and her!
only son. Crown Prince Rudolf. Put
when Bomd ten years or so ape, his
?mother passed away, and !it demise
was officially notttled t. tt <? various
' European monarchs by lite Japanese |
ambassadors and envoys, who added
"that Her Majesty hud passed away,
jafter receiving the last Sacraments f
the Shinto faith." no Corresponding
?
peah courts, assuming tho ground
that as long as the domestic a't i inge
.merits of a sovereign were Bilhildr to!
those of the ruloro of Turkey, Egypt,'
: Morocco, Slam, of tho Into Emperor of
China, and tho ex-Phnh of Persia. ;i
was impossible to consider his family
bereavements In tho eame fashion as
those of Christian monarchs. While
there Is some reason In this conten?
tion, sines reignlntf families ef the
'Orient are apt to bo extremely rfumor
' otts. owing to the practice of poly- I
gamy. It was bitterly r*s?nted In Ja- |
pan. md construed ns an affront to J
I the Emperor end the nation
When tho successful It-sue of her i
war with Russia gave Japan a place
among the great powers, ai d her alll- j
j anco with Great Britain acquire,! an I
altogether new Importance, In 1?"". I j
expressed in these letters th>- opinion j
that England and the other courts of
. Hut ope would find U not only
J impolitic but impossible to contlnuo to
slight the Japanese empire In the mat?
ter of court mourning, and this pre
. diction made seven years ago has now
; been made good bv King Ocorce.
it must be remembered Hint when
Kinc Ooorge orders court mourning,
ithe command becomes statutory. There
are not merely official regulations,
but laws of the land In England which;
?rendor court mourning obligatory,
and provide for the severe punishment j
of any peer of the realm, or dlgnitaryl
of tho crown, who fails to obey this
sumptuary behest. These laws were
enacted several centuries ago. The
?inly occalon on which they were In?
voked In recent times was wh.-n the
late Earl Darnley, tho most eccentric
and wrong-headed of peers, at the
time of the death of Queen Mary's
mother, the late Princess Mary of
I Cambridge. Duchess of Teck, made a
public announcement over his slgna
I turo In the l.ondcn papers, that he no
' lontrer Intended to assume court j
I mourning when It tms decreed, pur- j
! stiiant to the sovereign's or*1?rs. by tho |
I lord chamberlain In the Oitlclal (in
I'.ett e.
Had the earl merely refrained from
putting himself and his household In
black, no one would have made any
remark: but the communication of his
Intentions to tho press called down
upon his head the wroth of the great
law ofllcerr. of the crown, who took
steps to Impose upon hlrn through the
tribunals, the finn and Imprisonment
provided by r.tatute. It wns King Ed?

proceedings to be dropped on the
I ground that th? statutes on which
they were based were m> longer In
keeping with the spirit of the. age,
and that the affcnso of Lord parnley
wns, from a modern point of view, j
! rather agatnr.*. good taste than aglnSt
?
Mourning of t?ts klhu when decreed
? by n sovereign Is obligatory Upon all
. diplomatic missions accredited to his
i court, of which thoy are considered lb
form port. Thus, altho.ign tho Pr( ll
1 dent of tho United .States will neither
don mourning for the lato Mikado,
nor Issue any orders regarding the m it -
ter. y'ot not only tho American Em?
bassy at Tokio, but also tho United
States Embassies nnd Legations at
courts which are ordering mourning
for the ruler of Japan, will be com?
pelled to put themselves, their wives,
and oven their ??rvanta In black.
Tho extent. to which this royal
mourning la carried at continental
i courts, especially at those of tho petty
'sovereign states of Germany, Is extra?
ordinary. Thus, when some time, ago
i the fobllsti old Prlnco Maurlco of Baxe
Altenburg died, the official gazette of
!the sovereign Grand-Duchy of Saxc
Melhlhgeh, In decreeing court mourn
l ing for him, expressly Instated that
ick under clothes should bo Includ?
ed In the trappings of woe.
In Russia the c-eirt mourning en?
joins upon those concerned In the rcg
I illations, the necessity of having the
I carriages upholstered In black, and of
Having one of :hc apartments e,f the
i house completely draped In black
jcloth. with All the r.int .'ncl furniture
i upholstered In black.
No surprise ne?d be felt at the ln
'.formntton widen conies from England,
I b"th in the press and by private letr
j ters. to tho effe.-t that both King
, George and Queen Mary were cx
j tremely annoyed by tho failure of
, many members of the e.v.irt circle, and
of the English great world, to appear
at the monster garden party In tho
grounds of Windsor Castle a fortnight
I iico-iui entertainment for Whicli some
ten thousand Invitations had been Is?
sued. That tho royal displeasure Ik
serious Is shown by the. fact that the
London Morning Post, which Is the
recognized organ of London society,
has been publishing column after coi
! iimn of paragraphs lileo the following:
j "Lord and Lady - regret that
owing to Indisposition they were, un
ftblo to Obey tho commands of their
majesties to attend the royal garden
party at Windsor." Some of these In?
dispositions did not prevent the In
v illds from being present at the state
ball .it Buckingham Palace on the fol?
lowing evening.
Tho fact of the matter Is a "com?
mand" to a royal garden party, such
as thai at Wlnd-or, has ceased to ho
regarded as a distinction. Of tho 16,
000 Invitations Issued, one-half nt
least were addressed to persons who
have ncvnr been officially presented at
court, some of them. Indeed, being
barred from court by reason of their
j professional occupation, such as ac?
tors and actresses nnd ladies of birth,
?who hive resorted to shopkco'plhg,
dressmnklng, etc., as a moans of live?
lihood.
Some weire labor members of Parlia?
ment of the most radtepl descrip?
tion, who bad never worn evening
dress, a frock coat, or a silk hat. and
who appeared at the garden party In
sack suits of tweed nnd serge, soft
shirts and soft hats. Th* guests even
Included the grotesquely dwarfish Marr
quls of Townsetld, who hns been judi?
cially declared a harmless lunatic and
Incapable of managing his own affairs.
Only a few hundred of the guests re?
ceived any parsons] recognition from
the King and Queen, the royal cort
cgn passing through tho crowd In ft
lone f<?r-tne,l by the lord chamberlain
nnd h!s aides to the royal tea tent,
whence querrlcs were dispatched to
summon those with wTiom their ma?
jesties wished to converse, or to ask to
ltca
In view of the fact that these royal
garden parties are devised for the
benefit of people not presented or pre?
sentable at court?in one word, for
those who cuitiot be regarded as llg
ti ring on what may In- described as
their majesties' visiting lrst?the ab
sonce of the great world Is ensy to
understand. The Gran-* Monde does
not irellsh the long tide by rail or mo?
tor to Windsor, the strict examination
of their cnrJs and of tholr Identity nt
tin- castle, gates nnd their subsequent
submergence In a sen of peoplo whom
they do not, and do not wish to, know,
and with nil that, no probable oppor?
tunity to converse with, or even be
seen by, their royal hosts.
Since presentation at court In Eng?
land Is supposed lo be essential to so?
cial recognition, why should they be
expected to meet on a soct.il to line
at a garden party mon ami Women
who have not received this official
Imprimatur?
