In response to the ovation that
was rendered him, the prince was
kept busy constantly raising his hat
When he first came out into the
concourse at Union Station he seemed
a bit nervous, SO surprising was the
heartiness of his welcome but soon
smiled warmly at the crowd. He
disappeared into the Presidents room
at the station almost Immediately
however, and reappeared at the
Plaza entrance only long enough to
get into his car.
The President and Mrs Coolidge
met their distinguished guest at the
door of the White House and gave
him most cordial welcome. His
hishness was escorted to a room on
the upper floor by the President him
self, it was said. A few minutes
later he came down and went to
luncheon with the President, Mrs
Coolidge and John Coolidge, the
party being limited to the four out
of Difference to the wishes of both
the prince and the President and
Mrs. Coolidge.
Immediately after luncheon the
prince and the President went to the
latter's study and enjoyed a smoke to-
gether before members of the Cabinet
and their wives began to arrive for the
informal reception. Most of the mem
bers of the Ca hinet attended and talked
most informally to his highness. Post
master General New said after the
reception that he was deeply impressed
with the democratic manner of the
young heir and his expression re-

Before bidding his hosts adieu. the
prince wrote message of thanks TO
the people of Washington for the Won
derful demonstration they had rendered
him. Although he pointed out again
that his visit was purely "a holiday"
nevertheless, he added, their warm
welcome had enhanced "the charm Of

o'clock when the doors of the White
highness stepped out
Mrs Coolidge bade him adieu at the
door and withdrew Immediately, but
the President accompanied him out
onto the DortIco, together with many
of those who had attended the recep-
tion. The prince stepped into his car
Immediately and began his return trip
down Pennsylvania Avenue to Union
Station, at least half an hour before it
had been expected he would leave.
One incident occurred on the trip
that provoked d smile from those
who noticed it. When the princes
car reached The Star Building his
highness was attracted by the crowd
that stood in front of the scored board
watching the progress of the base
ball game in New York between the
Nationals and Yankees. Interested to
know what had happened. the prince
arose in his car. AT the same in
slant the board registered a hit for a
Washington player and the crowd
broke into a roar of applause. The
prince sat down precipitately. Just
what he thought can only be guessed,
of course, but as a matter of fact
it was Goose Goslin, and not Edward,
Prince of Wales. which brought forth
the wild applause.
Secretary of State Hughes accom-
panied the prince back to the station,
which he entered through the Presi-
dents doorway. He went immedi-
ateIy to his special train and it took
only a minute for final farewells to
be said before his highness stepped
to the observation platform. There
was momentary but awkward
pause before the train started to
move and it was quite evident that
