At $50 sharp the gates opened and
we moved forward. l hardly had time
to pick up my green ostrich fan and
cast off my wrap when / was rushed
out of the car and suddenly found my.
self over the Threshold of Bucking-
ham Palace.
Seated i'm Throne Room.
AS we were among the first to
arrive we got into the throne room
and had very good seats.
There came another hour of wait
ing.
At $50 the King and Queen and
their retinue appeared and every one
stood up as God Save the King"
was waited forth from the balcony.
Then the presentations began. My
turn came at last.
With pounding heart I handed the
card with my name on it to a cham
berlain while another chamberlain

feet inches and holding my head

over the room.
Looking up. found myself face to
face with the King.
Fla chiO0 a smile at him I 6rOnnpd
into low curtsy, with bowed head.
AS / arose he returned the smile
and as l passed on to the Queen
noticed a mischievous twinkle in his
eye Crd have given my three feathers

The Queen gave me lovely smile
as / rose from my curtsy to her.
And beaming back at her l passed
on and out into the anteroom, where

Josephine, who was behind me.
Thousand Women i'm Line.
We re-entered the throne room and
watched the remaining women being
presented. BY that time the bread
line" had grown until 1t extended
out of sight in the adjourning hall.
Roughly speaking, there must have
been eight hundred TO a thousand
women presented.
Following the crowd through hall
filled with marvellous paintings and
tapestries we descended into a series
of supper rooms, where sandwiches
and champagne were served from
buffet tables by royal flunkies.
We chatted gaily with people here
and there, and finally departed about
quarter to twelve.
Thus ended the most picturesque
and thrilling episode have yet ex-

REPORT TO GOVERN
FATE OF CARROLL
Family Is Hopeful Escape
From Prison May Be Made
Possible.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special DlspdtCn TO Inc star.
GREENVILLE. s. c., May 2S.-
Upon the report to be received by the
Department of Justice in Washington
from the two physicians 1t selected
to examine Earl Carol here, rests
his chance of escaping sentence of
one year and one day in Atlanta Peni-
tentiary for perjury.
The hopes of members of the Car
roll family. who have remained about
his bedside since he was brought here
in coma, April 13, are high. There
is reason to believe DR.. c. F. Will
liams, superintendent of the South
Carolina State hospitals, and DR..
James S. Fouche of Columbia. S. c.,
acting for the Department of Justice,
regard Carroll's nervous collapse as
genuine and his prison psychosis as
so grave that transfer to Atlanta
would be dangerous.
May Go to Sanitarium.
In the event Of a Communication, his
physicians say, he would be removed
at once to private sanitarium,
where he might have to remain for
as much as year before recovery.
Anything less than immediate release,
these physicians believe, threatens the
prisoners mind and life.
DR.. Leslie B. Holman, psychiatrist,
called into consultation by the Carroll
family, has reported to the Depart
ment of Justice that coma such as
first manifested Carroll's illness. is
not infrequent in cases of this type.
Says Coma Is Unexplained.
But DR.. r. c. Bruce, the first ply
sician called to treat Carroll, and who
has been in charge of the case ever
since. says he has not yet heard sur.
geon, psychiatrist or plain medical
man explain that coma satisfactorily.
I'VE are still up in the air about it,"
he admits.
All six doctors. who have examined
Carroll on behalf of his family agree
the cause must have been the mans
fear of prison. For some reason the
prospect of Atlanta held for him un.
alterable shame.
His doctors are convinced that if
the prospect of Atlanta is removed,
he will recover. and if it is not, there
can be no recovery.

LONDON, May 2S.--Being presented
at the court of ST. James isn't the
least terrifying. In fact, it's SO simple
that as l think over the last few
weeks, during which / worried myself
into blue funk, l realize how un-
necessarily keyed up / was.
The problem of getting a suitable
and becoming gown was difficult. /
decided to have it made in Paris, so
spent an entire week in that beautiful
city going from one dressmaker to
another. at each place speaking my
little piece-"I should like to see a
gown suitable to wear when being pre-
sented at court 1 must say that 1

enthusiasm with this introduction. But
not at all. They were entirely indif'
ferent. Finally, after seeing at least
a thousand-and-one mannequins l felt
that my eyes would fall out if / was
even so much as to glance at another
human clothes horse.
Gown Finally Selected.
So retracing my steps to an estab-
lishment where l had seen the pref
test gowns, I managed to get them
to show some sparks of interest. My
cousin, the saleswoman and / put our
heads together and concocted a quite
lovely idea. Then the designer made
a sketch and half of the battle was
won.

a band of pearl and sequin embroidery
around the front of the neck and
widening gradually as it continued
along the edge of the train. which
also was of satin. There was another
band of embroidery on the train,
starting at the back of the neck and
widening as it terminated in prettily
designed motif about fourteen inches
from the end.
The days in London went by very
fast and before l could say the proven
