CHURCHES BURNED BY NOBS; ALL TROOPS SWEPT ASID]
POmp of British Courts Lures Fashion World as
 Other Royalties Totter
By EDWARD STANLEY

LONDON, May 12-Other great world courts may be dimmed or fallen, but all the pomp and dazzle of empire is concentrated in the annual courts at Buckingham pal ace, despite England's socialist gov ernment.
 This year there will be courts there on May 19 and 20 and June g and 10. Hundreds of applica- tions for invitations have been pouring into the Lord Chamber lain's office.
 While rules are less rigid than , in Queen Victoria's day, they still are strict. No woman who has been through the divorce court as the guilty party, for example, may be presented. And should one be pre- sented, through error, the invitation is spectacularly and publicly with drawn.
 B Americans to Attend
 Usually between 6,000 and 5000 persons appear at the four courts sponsors and those being pre- sented for the first time. Out of this number only a handful about 32, are Americans.
 On the day they are command ed" to appear at the palace, the Mall, a wide and solemn street leading to the royal residence, is jamed with cars bearing women in court dresses, wearing three white plumes, the crest of the Prince of Wales.
 These are a little hard to wear, actually, since they must be worn straight, without any attempt at jauntincss.
 Besides those in the cars, bound for the palace, the Mall is throng- ed with curious Londoners, who stare at the gorgeously gowned women and offer audible comments.
 Curtsey Is Difficult
 A difficult thing to master is the
 
 court curtsey. Not few hours must be spent in practice before mirrors by those commanded"
 Here is how a debutante must make her bow, if you want to prac- tice:.
 1 On entering the throne room she must be careful to see that her final walking step is made by her left foot.
 In beginning her curtsey she then slides out her right foot and lets her left foot rest on it's first joint. This will insure good balance. In curtseying she mustn't forget to look at the king At the lowest stage of the curt sey, however, she must bend her head and shoulders slightly in obeisance.
 Rising with ramrod back, she then takes two steps toward the

queen, and, with her right foot out, goes through the same genuflection.
 The ceremony puts the stamp of royal favor upon the society girl, and means much to British debs. Once through 1t they are ready for the full flood of the London "sea- son"
 This years crop of buds includes two of special interest Hon. Ce- ella Bowes-Lyon, eldest daughter of Lord and Lady Glamis, is to make her bow, and since she is the niece of the Duchess of York it is like ly the latter will attend the courts.
 Lady Anne Hope is to come from Scotland. She is the eldest daugh- ter of the Marquis of Linlithgow. Lady Anne has spent most of her time in the north but London so- ciety has heard of her and will watch her debut with interest.

MADRID, May 12.-Jerring and cheering mobs, which swept police, Civil Guards and soldiers aside, attacked and burned churches and church buildings in many cities, yesterday, last night and today, as the month-old Government strove with will to restore order.
 Five churches and convents were burned before dawn today at Se- vile where martial law has been declared
 Monuments Destroyed
 Troops have been placed on the streets in an effort to control the throngs ranging the city and de- stroying monuments marking cen- turies of Roman Catholicism in Spain.
 Similar conditions as prevail in Seville and Madrid are reported from Malaga, Caditi and Alicatne.
 At zaragoza, Cordova and Bilboa, mobs attacked and wrecked build ings but did not burn them.
 Madrid PatrOlled
 Squads of cavalry and infantry with tanks and machine guns are patrolling the streets of Madrid. Tranquility was restored in the capital city last night but not be- fore ten churches, convents, mon- asteries and other Catholic build ings were burned to the ground while mobs held off the firemen and prevented them fighting the fires.
 Property Damage Large
 A nationwide check-up showed IS church buildings have been de- stroyed and 10 more badly dam aged but not burned
 Few inmates of the building were beaten and the most escaped. The nuns were respected by the crowds.
 Religious workers are fleeing to Madrid.
 Physical damage to churches and church buildings is guessed as high as $30,000,000 not counting price, less manuscripts and paintings de- stroyed or stolen.

BRUSSELS, May 12.-E e n e Ysaye, aged 73, one of the worlds greatest violin masters, died today after long illness.
 Although he made his first pub lie appearance as violinist at the age of seven, Eugene Ysaye as a youth did not attract much atten- tion.
 It was his good fortune, however, to have contact with some of the great masters of the latter half of the nineteenth century and from two of them he received encour- agement and assistance.

 There was some difference of opinion as to whether the young musician possessed extraordinary ability and talent. Opinion still was divided after Ysaye appeared for the first time before Joseph Joa- chim, often called in his time the greatest of living vlolinists."
 Ferdinand Hitler, celebrated pian- ist, recognized genius in Ysaye, in- troduced him to Joachim, and ar ranged to have the young man play for the great master. Hitler accom- panied his protege. Joachim listen- ed in silence and when Ysaye con- cluded. his only remark was q
