American Ed toria1
Writers Received by
Royalty on Sunday

IBy LATE Young, Jr, of the American
Editorial Committee touring Europe.l
London, Nov. Sour American
newspaper parry on last Sunday WIS.,
tied Sandringham, one Of the Ehsiish
homes of the king and queen. There
were twenty three American guests,
including a similar party of magazine
men.
We are told that 1t is most unusuai
for the king and queen to entertain
on Sunday and we realized the compll-
rcent was to tine American press in
general.
we arrived at Sandringham by spe-
cial train about O'CLOCK Sunday at
ternoon. Our entire party was intro
duced in the most informal way 70
King George, Queen Mary their
daughter, Princess Mary; the king S
mother. Queen alexandra, and the
kings sister, Princess Victoria
We chatted informally in groups ana
then the entire party walked for an
hour. around the beautiful. estate see
ins the conservatories, the dairy. the
stable and York house, which might
be the home of any well-to-do Amerl-
can. All members OF the party had
opportunity to VISIT with all the mem
beers of the Nyal family.
The king was dressed in a sack SUIT
OF black and white design, which IN
Americanl would be considered almost
a little gay. He wore silk four-in-
hand tie with big black and red stripes!
tie such as we would consider
sport's scarf. The members of our
own party were dressed in sack suits
and cut-aways, and there was no par
ticular Formally at any stage OF the
proceedings.
The king laughed and joked with the
various groups and was more informal
and gracious, or fully as much SO. as
President Wilson would be on a SINH
lar occasion. Queen Mary and all the
women of the party were dressed IN
plain suits of black or blue. They
seemed to be deeply interested in the
visit of the Americans.
Queen Mary looks the part OF
queen. The queen mother, Alexandra,
is quite old, put she is as jolly and
entertaining as she could possibly be.
Princess Victoria was the liveliest
member of the royal family, and
seemed to greatly ENJOY the efforts or
the newspaper men a; entertainment.
All members Of the party were pres
ented with fruit, flowers and postal
cards, and three members were fav-
ored with very attractive tea tables.
I have made many inquiries as to
the standing Of the king with the
British people. He Is most popular.
| One man characterized him as the
democrat Of democrats. Another said
that he was the hardest working man
| in the United Kingdom.
All credit him with splendid capa-
cities and a very deep and fervent in
| terest in the British empire. He had
| difficult position to succeed the pop
| u!ar King Edward, but all agree that
he has done 20 with the greatest OF
credit to himself.

laugh that has gained for them the
love OF the little Italian children az
well as the grown-ups.
