BY THE WAY— (Continued From Third Page.) had been in line for three and four hours so their occupants would be first—like one of our own New Year receptions at the White House! It was during the long wait in this room that my veil became positively unspeakable. Of course, it was because I kept turning my head so I wouldn’t miss anything in any direction! At last the time came to form in line and we were ushered into a long, narrow passage that ran parallel with the throne room. We moved forward slowly, then suddenly it was our turn. My heart stood still and then took a quick flip-flop. A gentleman in waiting asked for the card with my name on it, which I had been carefully clutching, and another gentleman of the white rod arranged my train. I walked slowly forward to curtsy to their majesties, King George and Queen Mary. I felt like a little girl again with the story book King and Queen come to life and the Prince Charming standing by them—at that moment it did not seem possible that they would not “all live happily forever after”— without heartaches, disappointments and intrigve. They were so beautiful in their robes and flashing jewels. Flanking the throne, on each side, were members of the royal family—the Prince of Wales standing next to the King. One makes a curtsy first to His Majesty the King. For days we had practiced that curtsy, keeping the back straight, the knees almost crossing and touching the floor, the head bowed, but not too far so one could take a quick upward look. After making the first curtsy you move sidewise, three or four steps, so as not to turn one’s back on royalty and then you are directly in front of the Queen. After curtsying to her you move sidewise again a few steps. Another gentleman of the white rod waits to expertly “flip” your train over your arm in order to speed up the line—mass production in its more refined form! . As soon as we left the throne room we dropped into the line which formed on each side of the great hall to watch the other fortunate ones make their curtsies—just like the populace in the street, we watched, but whispered very quietly! All sisters under the skin! When the presentations were over their majesties descended from their dias and the procession formed to accompany them e ey e / BOUQUET D’ORSAY chancellor of American University, has postpoged from tomorrow to Wed- | nesday, May 12, the tea Which she is | giving for Mrs. Eugene V.

That was the most thrilling of all, for it was here that the pageantry came into full play. As their majesties passed we all curtsied afialn.

They carried themselves ro; all{ The crowns, which must be very heavy, gleaming and glittering with the world famous jewels. ‘A more queenly figure could not be imagined than Queen Mary. We are apt to concentrate on her hats, from newsreel pic- tures, thereby losing the great dignity, supreme composure and really deep beauty of the present Queen mother, That evenin at court with the train bearers holding the yards and yards o ermine-lined velvet, their decorations and jewels literally covering them, walking through the lines of adoring subjects and new found admirers, bowing and smiling graciously, their majesties King George and Queen Mary, made a superb picture which wkfl live in our memories always! When all the royalty and the diplomatic cos had passed, we were ushered into a great dining room where a ?:sucioua supper was served. There, at close range, we could study the Maharajahs and other Princes from all over the world. And never have we seen such jewels. In the group, presented at that particular court, both looking very handsome, were two Washington women, Mrs, Demarest Lioyd and Mrs. Joseph Leiter. Tomorrow . .. Wedding Fashion Show —at Jelleff's!
