WASHINGTON. Oct 2s.-"The most
manly OF Kings, the most kingly Of
men"
In this single phrase Speaker Gillett
(Mass.) Of the House Of Representatives
today summed up the impression which
Washington during the last twenty-tour
hours has been assimilating with regard
10 Albert of Belgium, guest OF the ma
tion And this appreciation of the
sturdy soldier King. who imposed Nhis
country in the pathway of advancing
German hosts, furnishes the keynote to
the sentiment which embraces also his
consort, Queen Elizabeth. and his son,
the Duke Of Brabant. Altogether the
national capital has taken the Belgian
visitors to its arms and likewise has
kept them extraordinarily busy, even for
royalty.
The striking feature OF the royal day
In Washington was the reception extend
ed the King in the two houses of Con-
gress. First in the Senate, later in the
House, the King spoke to the represen-
tatves Of the American democracy, min
gled with them, grasped their hands
After a morning spent in greetings and
the formal exchange Of necessary and
somewhat burdensome amenities, the
royal party escorted by a troop of cav
airy, took its way to the Capitol shortly
before o'clock.
ThrOngs Welcome visitors.
The route of the procession lay
through streets and avenues empowered
with trees yet green and untouched by
trost From end to end of the two mile
progress the curbs were thronged. A
special prolongation of the luncheon hour
decreed by the superintendent of schools
turned all the little folks loose to add
their shrill shrieks to the Enthusiastic
cheers that greeted King and Queen and
Prince.
Arriving at the Capitol the Queen was
first ushered to the Executive gallery of
the Senate and with Mrs Marshall, wife
OF the Vice-President at her left took a
seat In the front row. She was attired
In gown of ivory white Chinese silk
with loose cloak of deep rose colored
velvet Her Majesty wore a small, close
fitting turban of cloth of gold, with a
sweeping paradise plume of canary color
Mrs Marshall. who accompanied her,
wore a hat and gown of black silk
trimmed with royal blue velvet. Miss
Margaret Wilson, who sat on Mrs. Mar
halls left, wore black.
AS soon as the Queen and her escort
OF hostesses were seated the sergeant

coming of the King and his escort, con-
sisting of four Senators and his personal
stan. The King entered on the arm OF
