The statement that the wedding of the Duke of Glouces-

ter and Lady Alice Scott was to take place at*Westininster Abbey on a certain date has, I am glad to see, been: denied as regards both time and place. Nothing, pre- Sumably, has been settled yet, and the wishes and con- venience of bride and bridegroom, and the latter's parents, are the first consideration. But there is no reason why every Prince and Princess should be married in West- minster Abbey, and in this case, when a Prince has taken a Scottish bride, a Scottish wedding would be hailed OS peculiarly appropriate by the vast majority of the King's subjects south of the Tweed as well as north. Edinburgh; can never see the Royal family at Holyroodhouse too often. * *
