Parliament convened last week, but with out the pomp of untroubled times. There was no royal coach, no scarlet-clad outriders for vanguard, no cheering crowds along St. James's Park. George VI and Queen Elizabeth drove from Buckingham to the Houses of Parliament in an automobile, quickly and almost unnoticed. There were no royal robes.

Army men, the 1940 National Horse Show was pretty much like its 54 predecessors. The scarlet-coated ringmaster tootled his horn. High-stepping saddle horses went through their prancing paces; harness horses pulled elegant buggies and swelegant owners; hunters and jumpers skimmed over the bars...
