ones dress, truly the graceful and
formal gowns would add to the
beauty of the natural surroundings.
The wish has been expressed by
many that the ladies invited to
the party select dresses that will
lend this grace and charm to the
scene.
Americans are anxious always to
do the cordial and gracious thing
and to do it correctly. the Honorable
Lady Lindsay has said That Amer
leans should conduct themselves as
Americans at the garden party of
the King and Queen is the opinion
of many who are faced with the
question of curtseying Americans
do not curtsey to the President of
their country, and if respect is
shown to the head of this Nation
with handshake, why not salute
the royal visitors with the same
honor extended to our President?
Had word been given that the King
and Queen would prefer to have
their guests curtsey. there is not a
shadow of doubt that Americans
would do all in their power to have
their curtsies as graceful as those of
British subjects.
