Today, that is to say, in the today that preceded the memorable visit to the Dominion of King George and Queen Elizabeh, much of the "re verential awe" had gone. It began to disappear when King John polite ly trapped on the island of Runjiy- mede, signed the Magna Charta; still further 1 went reverence and awe into the distance with the an tics of the eighth Henry. Constitu tional monarchy changed reverence to respect, awe to admiration. Canadians, up to the 17 th day of May, 1939, believed in the mon archy. They stood up and sang the National Anthem, they clapped po litely at the newsreels when the King and Queen appeared and were quite sure that as a symbol of Em pire the Throne at Westminster was essential to a quarter of the globe. iBut - It all depends! On May 17th, and in a mounting crescendo of succeeding days, Cana dians had ‘a place close to the King' and the Queen. From Quebec to Victoria and back to Halifax mil lions of Canadians have seen their King and Queen. ■Some saw from stands 60 to 70 feet from the Royal car, some stood for hours on the curbstones and were only 10 to 15 feet away when Their Majesties passed; some, the veterans and mothers whose sons didn’t live to be veterans, clasped royal hands only to find them warm flesh and blood. All were "close to the King" even if their only contact was by radio because they were unable to reach a vantage point from which to see him.

When the Royal Train left Mont real, Their Majesties stood at the open door of the car and waved. But the picture those of us on the plat form treasure most is that of a man acclaimed by millions of pepole standing on the back platform of a train with his arm affectionately round the waist of his wife. ■Other pictures that will long be remembered are of a King and Queen tired by long days of formal engagements, of acknowledging plaudits, of shaking hands, with a chance to revive themselves with a cup of tea, leaving the tea-table as their train drew up at a small way side station to go form with To on a few days before its passengers ar rived in Canada there is yet an other picture. -timate one, is in the King’s Each room, other for .the than the usual accommodation of a sleeping car, is small. In fact the two put together wouldn’t equal the best bedroom of an average middle class couple. At the 'end of each bed is a sliding shutter, large enough to pass a cup of tea through first thing in the morning, that connects the two rooms - an inti mate touch that again demonstrates the domestic quality that endears their Sovereigns to Canadians. Not everything that happens on the Royal train was recorded by the perspiring reporters who were coop ed on a pilot train half an hour ahpad. There was, for instance, an unscheduled appearance by the King at a small Western station at eight o’clock in the morning. The train stopped for water. All the blinds were down. But as usual, a crowd ■of patriots hopefully waited. After only a minute or two had elapsed the door of the blue and silver car number one opened and a clean shaven, fair-haired man clad in a dressing gown stepped onto the platform. He was the King, pro bably the first monarch who ever greeted his subjects thus informally. " ' our have Is there any wonder that feeling for the King and Queen taken on a personal, quality?

No Canadian would have the least surprised to hear somewhere along the route royal-couple had disrupted the lab- riously contrived arrangements of Canadian stuffed-shirtism, in order to stop for a c.up of tea with a rural Reeve and his wife.
