William H. Remick, president of the
Exchange, and after he had been shown
through many of the offices. he was

through the curb market, crowded with
men making signals with their fingers
like a gathering of excited deaf mutes.

circular structure discovered that a

the luncheon at the Bankers Club. Ae
they entered the building two young
women, evidently employed there,
tossed armsful of red dahias before
the King, who smiled and blushed and
tried hard not to crush the flowers
when he strobe through them.

King was driven to the Waldorf-As-
toria, and short time later. with
Queen Elizabeth and Prince Leopold,
was driven to the Public Library
At Museum of Natural History
The King and Queen won new laurels
as long distance sightseers Not even
the long ghoulish corridors OF the
American Museum of Natural History
phased their royal majesties Although
1t was past closing time on dark,
rainy afternoon. and the skeletons of
dinosaurs and whales glowered at them
from dim corners, and although the
distance from the great meteorite at
the front door to the last stuffed duck
in the bird hall Is something that
lesser sightseers than they take a
whole day to accomplish, King Albert
and Queen Elizabeth went at it as if
the one thing in all America they
really wanted to see was a collection
of dead birds and beasts.
The exhibit of monkeys and birds
from the Congo was the main objective
in the visit to the Museum. which fol-
lowed the reception. at the Public Lii
brary. Herbert Lang, leader of the
museums Congo Expedition, and J.
P. Chaplin, his assistant, were On hand
to explain every detail of the exhibit.
More than once the Kings face broke
into smiles as Mr.. Long recounted some
tale of their travels. Mr. Chaplin had
the young Crown Prince in tow,
prince had been obviously bored as
they wandered through the corridors of
Indian upttery and dead butterflies, but
who became boyishly animated at the
stories of hunting and fishing trips in
the Congo.
Prince Nearly Gets Lost
He and Mr.. Chaplin stole a march on
the rest of the party and took in
whole new corridor, which the others
skipped ,and were almost left behind
as result of it.
The visit to the Public Library was
the nearest approach to Il public re-
reception that has appeared on the
rogramme for the King and Queen.
