But the papas are chuckling into their check books. So is the State Department. So are the Senators. “But don’t quote me . . " Remember the play? Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy announced re- cently that his embassy no longer would grease the corridor for the American ladies who wanted to meet England’s Head Man. He did it after Senator Henry Cabot Lc of Massachusetts, had written kad an applicant So this year about 50 Americal pepas will :lip through the summe $10,000 to the good. It costs about that tc bend the knee to the Britich King in good style. Every year some 300 mamas have kept the social grape-vine hot de- manding the right. Here's how it goes: Mrs. Three - Chins wants daughter, Miss One-Chin to be in- troduced. Her request is filed with 269 others. There comes a day when the embassy staff goes into secret he he session and cuts the list to 50—be-" cause there are only two courts o year, and only 25 Americans make the list each time. The 50 names are sent to th Court Chamberlain who has some secret way of finding out whether the ladies are acceptable. Two kinds aren't: actresses divorcees. That bar reaches high. The gates open easily, however to the offspring of American for- tunes. When the Court Chamberlain sends back an okayed list, the Am- bassador forwards . letters to the 50 winners telling them the date of the court, asking them to report at the embassy a month ahead of time. That's when Papa starts writ- ng checks. When the court-attenders descend on the embas: the Ambas:ador’s wife announces a series of teas They're not teas at all, they're schools in court manners, Before the tea is passed the Am- bassadress holds mock court. She sits in a chair at the end of the ballroom, and the candidates prac- tice walking up to the throne, curt- sying and backing off s 5. like a crab. That's a little hard on the heavy ladies. They loosen their garters after splitting out the third pair of $2 chiffons. can and very Meanvhile, dresses are made. Taey're all on one but there's a choice of color.

The procession winds to Bucking- ham so slowly that the ladies or- ganize card games. For the Lon- don man in ‘the street it is a Roman holiday. He and his wife line the drive, making such pointed remarks as “Ow, look at that one. She's got a beak!" or “Here's-an old pullet.” At the palace, the ladies drop their wraps at the door and are shoo-ed into a long line that carries hundreds of icy-looking they approach them past British nobility.
