southampton, where they debarked
from the American line steamer st.
Louis, in beautifully appointed royal
carriage attached to the American line
special on the London Il Southwest
ern. The weather was ideal and LAe
country traversed by the train on the
short trip to London was looking its
best, so that their first impression of
England, where they will spend the
first fortnight of their European out
ing, was most favorable Only a short
stop was made in Southampton. The
mayor of Southampton and the Ameri-
can consul there, Mr. Swain. were the
first to greet the travellers on this soil.
On arriving in England Mr. and Mrs.
Longworth were met by Ambassador
Reid and the members of the embassy
staff, Mrs. Reid, Mrs and Miss Carter,

Queen Alexandra, being still in mourn

Mr.. and Mrs. Longworth thoroughly
enjoyed the Atlantic voyage, and join

sports and amusements incident to tn
trip. The weather from land to lant
was splendid, the delay to the st
