Society. RS, HARDY SNUBBER has beard that r\ there 1s absolutely no truth tn the report that the Third Agsistant Lord High Garter of the Bed Chamber will wear purple pajamas at the Coronation. Miss Constant Chinnor—own niece of Mrs. Oilin Bonds—says the Fourth Lord of the Jack Knife will take precedence of the Lord High Garter, and that nobody atthe Coronation will wear carpet slippers.
