The most familiar landmark on
Murray Hill is probably the VEN
erable d-bricked pile with the blue
entrance lights known as the Muir

elevators were run with pull ropes.
In a spacious lobby white-haired
guests in dinner clothes sip coffee,
listen to an orchestral trio and so

Philadelphia families who will stop
nowhere else. Grover Cleveland

That gave me an idea-hopes then

for try at fictioning. My pest:
The Modern Midas on rainy night
going to opera alone. On way his
car almost ran down seedy pedes-
trian. He invited him in his car
to take him home and in sudden
notion motored back to his castle,
had his butler outfit the stranger
in full evening costume and in such
splendor they went to the opera to-
gether. The thesis was that this
touch of wealth, color and life in
a despondent soul changed him
completely. In the metamorphoSis
he began trying to live up to that
evening in full dress. And the
climax, with the proper love inter-
est, of course, was when he went
to the opera with leading actress,

ray Hill, always to me the most en-
chanting section of Manhattan,
shows less of the modern Murray
and go than any other part of
town. Jostled on all sides by the
sky scraper furore. it has managed
to retain most of it's serenity, charm
and mellowy Gay Ninetyness.
Once the core of the metropolitan
aristocracy, there are still evidences
of this older order. Lavender and
old lace peep through. Every late
afternoon venerable coachmen
mount the box to drive silver-haired
sit-by-the window ladies on a leis-
urely clop-clop of the park.
A number of the old mansions
such as the Morgans' and the
Bakers'-have their neat iron fenc-
es, front and side lawns and snow
white window curtains. The Ser

full servitor. Some palsied and tot
tering, but made to feel they are
earning their keep.
Murray Hill is best in the thin
apricot haze of sundown with the
chirp of birds in ivy tangled walls.
Lights blaze in drawing rooms and
one suspects slipping of long-casked

Sad news to their many

made their home on Massachu-

able to tarry long for they are

tremely popular with members

A general exodus from the

of the Hartmann family for

the two pretty daughters Of
the household will be heading
North, shortly after sunrise.
Helen will sail from New York

anyone VINO was ABOUT az the
time of the then Prince of Wales
visit to this city will never forget
the brilliance of his stay, short as
it was. His temporary home on
New Hampshire Avenue was al
ways lighted, the ballroom filled
with guests and music. Can you
forget the envy of the girls who
had danced part of a waltz with
His HighnesS? Hordes of people
followed the party wherever it
went, on sightseeing tours, to the
White House, to this dinner or
that, for glimpse Of the heir to
the throne of Great Britain.
Memorable Visit
And who can forget the spec
tacular visit of Queen Marie, of
Rumania? The legation was the
constant cynoSure of a battery of
thousand eyes of curious folk,
waiting to see real queen, in
person. Her Majesty's trip was
the signal for lavish entertaining
in her honor, with hostesSes com.
peting over the elegance of each
ones party. To Mount Vernon, TO
Annapolis went Queen Marie with
a fleet of sirening police as es-
cort. Across the country she went,
in a private railroad car. Always
there were crowds to see her.
More recently, tn e King and
Queen of Siam we're guests in the
city. The Massachusetts, Avenue
home which was their residence
seemed a magic, mysterious place
with the royal yellow and red flag
flying from its pole. Entertained
at the White House, only the fact
that the King was here for an
operation on his eye prevented
another round of parties.
This season, it seems, if rumors
are to be believed, we are due for
more royal and notable visitors.
The old saying about the cup and
the lip applies very nicely here, of
course, for the ways of the mobiles
are unpredictable, but, from the
various reports, we may see any
number.
The latest rumor has it that
King George Of Greece. who re-
The Washington times., 1936-08-12

assembled the throne only recently,
will pay the United States a call
sometime during the Winter. II he
does, it will mean much entertain
ing, for he is an extremely likable
young man, to hear those who
should know tell it.
For many months, at various
times, there have been persistent
notes that Ethiopia'S Halle
Selassie, the Emperor without a
throne" would come to America.
Some reports said that he would
appear in the movies and, indeed,
Hollywood did make him many Of
fers, but this was quickly secuted
by his ministers. It does seem very
likely, however, that he would visit
here sometime. When and if he
does, the most delicate of diplo-
matte questions will be raised, for
while the United States has not
recognized Italy'S conquest of Ethi-
opia and still maintains legation
to the Empire at Adds Ababa, we
are friendly with Italy too, which
precludes any possibility of an Off
cial welcome.
Probable Trip
The King of England, Edward
VIII, who made so many friends
during the aforementioned trip
to this land while Prince of
Wales, is said to be considering
coming to Canade. after his corona
tion in England for visit to his
dominion. In fact, it is heard that
he will make tour of the entire
Empire, an unprecedented thing.
At any rate, if the King does
come to Canada, it is quite likely
he might break another precedent
and drop down to Washington,
particularly after President Roose-
velt's visit to Ottawa recently. If
that happens, it will be undoubt-
edly the biggest happening Of the
season, calling for the most elabo-
rate of entertainments. Well see.
And another possible visitor is
Cne very young h1nR OF Egypt,
Sarouk I, Tho became the ruler
upon the death of his father, King
Faud, a while ago. Dame Rumor
puts his American trip as quite
in the way of being likely, for the
sovereign is very interested in our
country and our life.
Add to this the arrival last
night in New York Of the former
Premiere of France, M. Albert
Sarraut, who will go to California
and then-maybe-come here, and
you have a list of very poignant
possibilities.
1t seems that, in Washington
the coming season, the fashion
notes will include crowns and
coronets, trains and tiaras as very
popular!
