The Secretary of the Navy and Mrs.
Daniels, with two of their sons, are
enjoying a trip from Los Angeles to
Hawaii, attended by the novelty of
woman travelling aboard a warship.
an unheard of innovation until inno-
vations became SO frequent that they
ceased to be such. The late Mr.
George Won L. Meyer when Secretary
of the Navy was the first official OF
that department to use government
vessels for pleasure trips and enter
tanning to any noticeable extent. The
Secretary ard Mrs. Daniels are al
ways official hosts for all dignitarfes
who come to Washington and pay
their respects at the tomb of Wash
1ngton at Mount Vernon, and there Is
always some nice little side trip where
business and pleasure may be COM
bined, such as the present trip on the
man-o' war New York, when the Sec
rotary will dedicate the Pearl Haroor
drydocks at Honolulu.
Just how far the government of the
United States will enter into the for
Snalities of court entertaining Is a
question of deep concern here, and
women who have been presented at
the various courts of Europe and have
been entertained by royalty are
brushing up their memories against
some sudden and unexpected demand.
Will the red carpet over which roy
atty travels to and from and which is
always rolled up almost behind their
heels while still warm with their
majesties' footsteps be unrolled and

Duke Of Aosta and others enter and
leave the White House? Will their
royal highnesses have to wise the list
Of those invited to meet them. and, If
so, how on earth are they to know
who is who in America? But. after
all, aside from a few formalities to
which we are not accustomed. no more
ceremony than is absolutely neces-
sary will obtain, especially outside
the White House. Queen Mary, the
mother of the prince. is not remiss in
her duties. and there was decided
suggestion of Queen Victoria, the
great-grandmother of the Prince OF
Wales, in her decree against the I'M

filmy and too abbreviated garments of
visitors were taboo. The dinner and
reception at the British embassy.

House and on board the Mayflower.

should the Prince of Wales be the
first royal visitor to come to Wash

moment. Brazil and Japan Will send
