LONDON, March 1.-The anxious maneuvering for invitations to the spring court at Buckingham palace is expected to become a frantic stampede now that there is se- rious possibility the Prince of Wales will act for the king.
 The large gilt cards bearing the eagraven message, ''The lord cham berlain is commanded to invite you to Buckingham palace" always have exercised a mesmeric power over the debutantes of the world, but this will be the first time that his royal highness has been cast in so important role.
 Queen Mary's announcement that the courts would be held caused general rejoicing among the debu- tantes expecting presentation by their ambassadors. It was thought for a time that King Georges ill., ness and his possible absence from London would cause postpon- ment. Now the queen has declar- ed the prince will assist her if the king is unable to be present.
 The royal courts, which are held in Buckingham palace each year, are considered the most formal af- fairs of the British social world.
 Young women are presented by sponsors from the ranks of the older women who have been pre- sented in the past. Those from other countries are escorted by their ambassadors. Many more applica- tions always are filed with the em- bassies than cay he accommodated, but an even larger ..--nber is ex- pected this year.
 The ceremony itself is brief. The king and queen enter the throne room after their approach is her aided by blast of trumpets. Near the throne chairs stand the off cers of the household and members of the royal family. The debutan- te is announced at the door. She crosses the floor, makes deep curtsey before the king and queen and retires to a smaller room. Her
