At the request of some friends I'll try to tell ere a few of the incidents I remember most vividly—for it might interest those who have not been presented. The first court is the most colorful and pictures e, as it is the diplomatic court, which all the visiting roya?ues and potentates of every nationality attend. It was like all the Jairy stories of our youth come to life in its pageantry, dig- nity and tradition. Days before, every detail of the court costume had been at- tended to. The long white gloves, the three feathers to be worn in the hair, the insignia of the Prince of Wales and the tulle veil. For my aunt, being in our diplomatic circle at the Court of St. James for four years, and in that capacity attending court four times a year, it was not the same thrilling novelty, but she was accorded the privilege of “attending” court when I was presented, which was perfect for me! We thought our gowns were beautiful and according to the fashions of that day were the dernier cri from Paris! Look- ing at the photographs today, there probably was never an uglier year of fashion since the world began than the year 1926, when the dresses hung from our shoulders like sacks. The waistline was around the hips and the dresses came to the knees. Her majesty Queen Mary very wisely did not approve of such short skirts, so our gowns were 14 inches from the floor—just the length of the new Spring clothes this year! Most of us felt very bitter over being so dowdy in such long skirts and I remember my dress had a false hem which could be removed the very next day, making it the proper length! Just below the knee. It seems unbelievable now that we could have consented to have such a hideous style foisted upon us! My gown was of cloth of silver brocade, each flower of the brocade outlined with delicate embroidery of pearls and diamonds. I carried an enormous white ostrich feather fan, as only debutantes carry flowers. The trains were only 18 inches on the floor. Mine was of the same material as my gown and heavily embroidered. We started to dress about 4:30 in the afternoon—the hair- dresser who had been engaged weeks in advance arranged our feathers and the wisp of white tulle veil properly—my hair was very short, so the feathers had to be practically wished into place— what was my horror as the time passed to find the tulle veil would become lovingly entwined with the diamante on my gown and I would have to “freeze” like a pointer dog until I was extricated or the feathers would fall over one eye if not on the floor! Fortu- nately, when it came time to curtsy the tulle behaved perfectly! At 6 o'clock we were seated in our motor in a long line of cars stretching down the mall from the gates of Buckingham Palace. There one sits for perhaps two hours—while the populace wanders from car to car peering in the windows and discussing you as if you were a wax figure in a showcase. They were such nice, friendly, interested people in the crowd that we became accustomed in a few moments to being verbally dissected! Their remarks ran something like this: “Which lady do you think is prettier, the one in the motor ahead or this one?” “Oh! I think the other lady is prettier but this one has a nice smile.” “This lady’s jewels are nicer, but I don't like her dress as much.” “See her shoes, they've got diamonds on them.” And 10 or 12 faces would peer in at my feet until I felt like the proverbial peacock—if only I could have sat on them! Babies were held up to get a good look also. It really was a show in itself and we tried to keep a dignified mien—but many a time when the remarks became too personal we had to cover our faces with our voluminous fans for a good giggle! Finally, after two hours, the motors moved slowly the short distance through the great gates of Buckingham Palace and into the courtyard where five or six motors could unload at once. I got such a kick out of the great entrance hall. A marble staircase with a red velvet carpet sweeps upward. On each step stood a guard from the Tower of London—"Beef-Eaters,” as they are called. Every one knows their uniform, unchanged since the fifteenth century. Slashed puffed sleeves and flat hats with the wreath of flowers. To complete the picture, on the first landing, standing like statues, were two members of the horse guard—their black busbies practically covering their eyes. We ascended the stairs and were ushered into a bril- liantly lighted room, where we sat and waited until their majesties had entered the throne room and taken their places on the raised dias. One is presented if they have no official position, “first come, first presented.” many of the motors (Continued on Fourth Page.) ~ SPRING SUITS, COATS, ENSEMBLES - 1/3 10 1/ oFF ALL GHEQF-A.KIIID FASHIONS A coLor ror EVERY COSTUME. .
