BRITISH MONARCHS 10 SNUB FAST SET Only Intimate Circle, Includ- ing J. P. Morgan, to Be Welcomed. By the Associated Press. LONDON, January 2.—King George and Queen Elizabeth draw few of their friends from the smart interna- tional set which was so sternly re- buked by the Archbishop of Canter- bury in his broadcast speech after Edward's abdication of the throne. Both in London, at Royal Lodge, Windsor, and in the highlands, they have entertained the same small inti- mate circle, many being companions of the Queen’s girlhood days. “‘My daughter does not smoke or do any of the fast things that are fash- ionable these days” said Elizabeth’s father, the Earl of Strathmore, at the {ime of the royal marriage in 1923. And the same might be said of most of the new Queen's friends. Morgan an Old Friend. Among old friends who are sure of & welcome at court is Banker J. Pier- pont Morgan, who met the King and Queen as Duke and Duchess of York during his annual visits to this coun- Only last Fall the roya! couple were his guests at Gannochy in Perthsire for the Scottish shooting season. The Queen’s elder sister, Lady Elphinstone, acted as hostess for Mr. Morgan and helped to organize his shooting parties. Other close friends who have enter- tained their majesties are Lord and Lady Stair, whose shooting parties they often attended at beautiful Loch Inch. Lord and Lady Allendale, who live next door to 145 Piccadilly (the home which the King and Queen will short- ly vacate for Buckingham Palace), have always been on good terms with their royal neighbors and the Allen- dale children attend Princess Eliza- beth’s parties. Lady Plunkett Visitor. Lady Plunkett is another mother of young children who is a frequent visi- tor at Piccadilly. Among young married women of her | own age, whom the Queen entertains at dinner parties in London and Wind- sor are Vicountess Hambleden, Mrs. Jock Gilmour (a sister of the Duchess of Marlborough), Lady Doris Vyner, Lady Katherine Seymour (one of Queen Mary's ladies-in-waiting) and | the Duchess of Buccleuch (sister-in- | law of the royal Duchess of Glou- ! cester). Yet another old friend is the Hon. Mrs. Ronald Greville, who lent her | beautiful Surrey home, Plesden Lacey, for the royal honeymoon in 1923.

Kent, who married pretty Princess Marina of Greece and now has a small son and a new baby daughter, always has been one to get around, but while Edward was prince and King his ex- ploits were usually overshadowed. The duke was accompanied to the phrenologist’s by Mrs. Willlam Allen, wife of a wealthy business man. She is & member of the gay set in which Kent and Marina move. Mrs. Allen is the former Paula Gelli- brand, known in 1922 as London’s most beautiful mannequin. As the Marquise de Casa Maury she became a well- known social figure. Allen is her third | husband. The phrenologist told the duke he |\ o™ purely defensive, had “a very fine quality brain” and was “very fastidious, sensitive and critical * * * “and probably would not put up with any one not suited to him.

Wilkie Opposes Delay. “I want it definitely understood I shall oppose any attempt en your part H to avoid making a full statement at the (Wednesday) meeting,” Wilkig wrote Prank. “You have had my criticisms for more than a year. You have had them in writing since December 16.
