WELCOMES ROYALTY WARMLY BUT QUIETL -

blue ribbons, won a smile and a few
words from the Queen, who for the
most part sustained the dignity of the
Senate by sitting motionless and ex-
pressionless like craven image.
The Queen was a striking figure in
a rather unusual day time costume.
She wore long loose evening coat
there seems no other way to describe
it-of rose colored velvet, which hung
open over a gown of white satin. 1t
had a deep collar and cuffs of silvery
gray fox. and her hat was a soft tan
effect, apparently Of white velvet,
either brocaded in gold or perhaps
with q design of gold beads, and held
down on the. left side with a white
paradise feather.
The Countess Chimay was also in
white satin, with a long loose white
coat which seemed to be part of the
dress, since she had also a, black satin
wrap which she put on when she was
leaving. Her hat was white. with
some wonderfully fine white aigrettes
across its front.
The Baroness de Cartier wore a re-
markable costume of black satin. en-
bellished with curious bands of white
beading-a wide band with fringe 60
ing around some ten or twelve inches
below the waist.

looked well In brown satin, worn with
collar of fitch and a small brown
beaver hat.
Presidents Daughter in Velvet.
Miss Wilson wore a costume of
black velvet with a monks collar Of
white ermine. Mrs. William II. Boil
ling and Miss Bertha Boiling occupied
seats directly behind the royal party,
and the galleries were full Of notable
women in notable gowns-Mrs. PHI
lander Knox, Mrs. Josephus Daniels.
Mrs. Marshall Field, Mrs. Richard
Townsend, Mrs. Robert L. owen. Mrs
John A Logan, Mrs. Logan Tucker.
Mrs. Joseph France, Mrs. George p
Mclean. Mrs. George Rowland Chase
Mrs. Eugene Hale, Mrs. Sherman Nc
ECallum and Mrs. Lawrence Townsend
There were a few notable men, such
as Bernard Baruch, John Berrett and
Col Robert E. Lee.
Of course the most elaborate func-
lions were the three brilliant official
| dinners that marked the three nights
of their Majesties' stay. The first was
that given by the Vice-President and
Mrs. Marshall. It was given at 202(

knees of the lawmakers. Seldom or
never is a child seen on the floor Of
the Senate, but 1t is not unusual TO
see one or two in the House. Never
before. however. was there such a
turnout as on Tuesday.
Queen Waves to Child With Flag.
One tiny red headed youngster
waved small Belgian flag so vigor
ously that she tumbled off the knee
OF her proud and adoring father
thereby attracting the attention Of
Queen Elizabeth, who waved back
most graciously. Another child. daugh-
ter of Representative Nolan. won the
Queens attention with her sunny
curls. Her Majesty asked that the
child be brought to her, and inquired
her name and where she came from.
When little Miss Nolan answered
proudly that she came from California
Queen Elizabeth responded:
"Oh, so it was you who brought the
sunshinel"
The House cheered the King to the
echo, and when he had finished his
little speech the members went up and
shook hands with him. Then the chill
dren were introduced, and they shook
hands with him. Some of the smaller
and more attractive specimens got
themselves kissed. Then the House
secretaries were called in and intro
duced. Some were quite kissable, but
King Albert seemed to overlook that
fact

GENTLY informal to have made a hit
with Thomas Jefferson himself. 1t was
a distinct attention on their part, an
expression of personal friendliness
rather than mere official courtesy,
and was appreciated as such.
1t was a short visit. and as he left
the White House the King bent his

of the First Lady of the Land and

| official callers. Among the latter came

Mrs. Wilson herself returned it the

the door by the King and Queen, and
when she left some fifteen minutes
later she took Queen Elizabeth vito
her for a drive Though Rock Creek

Of a welcome, but a curiously quiet
one. The temperature was away up
last Monday and Tuesday. and the
humidity was equally high. But the
tremendous crowd that assembled In
the plaza in front of Union Station to
welcome royalty to the capital of the
worlds greatest democracy was a
slngularly silent one. 1t was friendly,
, and It was interested. but 1t was not
vociferous.
The official welcoming party assem-.
bled in good time, with the exception
Of Secretary Lansing. who came just
about the time the train should have
come but didn't. He had been i'll for
several days, and he appeared like It.
The Vice President and Mrs. Mar
shall were among the early arrivals,
wearing the smile that won't come off.
The Cabinet came along singly and in
pairs, creating little stir, and the AS
sistant Secretaries of State, Phillips,
Adee and Long, were quite unrecog-
nized by the crowd outside the sta
ton. II equally paid little attention
TO the Chief Of STAFF beyond being
mildly curious as to the occupant Of
the big army motor. s..
The first real demonstration came
with Pen. Pershing, who was met with
a burst OF applause and cheers. The
Commanding General appeared brisk
and smiling and apparently as
pleased with everybody and everything
as the Marshalls had been.
II was rather noticeable that women
had small part in the official end Of
the greeting. though they outnum-
bered the men probably three to one
in the mob scene" outside. Except
for Mrs. Tumulty, who arrived early
with the Secretary to the President
and two of their children and passed
out into the train shed (none OF them.
however. reappearing with the royal
party, Mrs. Marshall was the only
woman who went out in the official
group that met their majesties at the
train. Perhaps half a dozen were ad-
mitted to the Presidents room In the
Union Station to witness the arrival
aside from a group of Red Cross and
canteen workers headed by Mrs. Isaac
W. Littell, wife Of Major-Gen Littell
and Mrs. Eldridge Jordan and thirty
or forty men in uniform.

Elizabeth, was fairly beaming as she
