AMERICANS EAGER

Bombard Ambassador George
Harvey for Cards Of Admjs-
sion to Royal Receptions.
OFFER ALL KINDS OF PLEAS
Wife Of Washington Diplomat Gives
Interesting Picture Of One of These
Court Functions-Finds
Queen Beautiful.

London.-There has been keen
rivalry among Americans In London to
gain entrance to King George and
| Queen Mary's court levees, which have
been revived for the first time in eight
years. Colonel Harvey, the American
ambassador, has been inundated with
requests, pleas and prayers from
Americans of all ranks ito see what
| the king and queen look like"
Every sort of argument has been
advanced by the petitioners, and the
| ambassador has found 1t difficult to
| choose between those legitimately en-
titled to bowling acquaintance with
| the king and queen, and mere tourists
or social climbers who want some
in their diaries.
Described by American Woman.
Among the favored American women
who were permitted to bend their knee
before George and Mary was the wife
of Washington diplomat, who has
given the following description Of the
function:
"The dominating and most lasting
impression was the appearance of the
queen. had been led to expect from
photographs and published descrip-
lions that she was of a severely
matronly type. Instead, she seemed
to be perfectly beautiful; In fact,
superb in her regalness, and wearing
her magnificent jewels like flowers.
Her face had nothing of the pictured
severity, but radiated the kindliest
of smiles as | passed and courtesied.
"The court was everything l had
imagined it would be in pomp and
grandeur, but throughout it all there
was a wonderful human note. The
king and queen seemed delighted to
welcome us. Of hauteur there was
none; in fact, the manner in
which the queen and Princess Mary
kept chatting and laughing during the
intervals seemed to indicate that the
members of the royal family were
enjoying themselves as much as we
were.
"Machinery Is Wonderful"
"The machinery of the ceremonial
was so wonderful, so perfect in It's
apparent effortlessness, that there
really was no reason to be nervous
White-gloved hands were always ready
to arrange our trains, to point the
route we were to go, to hold us for
moment, or indicate that we should
proceed. 1t was impossible to do the
wrong thing. The curtsy before the
king, then few steps and another
curtsy before the queen, and the
presentation was over before I re-
allied it.
"The difference between the court
and a presidential reception at Wash
ington is essentially one Of background
and size. We lack the brilliance of
uniforms and decorations, but we ex-
eel, think, in the beauty Of our wom-
en- and the elegant simplicity and quiet
dignity Of the dress Of our men,"

FIND INDIAN TRIBAL BOWL
covery Of Stone Treaty Dish in
British Columbia.

Vancouver, B. Can Indian treaty
bowl, weighing 900 pounds, and said
to be the largest in existence, was
found at Nimish, 100 miles north of
here.
The relic which is said to be more
than five hundred years old, Is fifteen
feet long and was made by Indians
using stones and axes. The bowl,
which was the center Of an interest
ing Indian ceremony, was called by
the aborigines, "The Mother Of the
Five Tribes"
These tribes would meet to discuss
hunting laws and tribal boundaries,
and on such occasions the bowl was
filled with some kind Of liquor. After
the conference the chiefs would take
a smaller bowl filed with the liquor
back to their councillors. If the terms
agreed on for treaty were approved,
the liquor was accepted.
