short wings are rounded and much
shorter than the tail.

 But that is not according to the pattern of protocol, so Their Majes- ties will probably place wreath at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington and have tea on the broad, green lawn at Mount Vernon.

Editor, Tall Tower Topics: A week or more ago you had brief item about that famous troter of other years Thomas Jefferson whose body was consigned to grave near the track at Charter Oak Park monument stood over as you mentioned the same being rescued and removed to West Hartford farm Edwin Valentine Mitchell of Hartford had interesting account Of this horse known as the Black Whirwnd, in his book = The Horse and Buggy Age in New England. He spoke of visiting Charter Oak Park in recent when it was falling into ruins and chancng on the grave Of Thomas Jefferson under maple tree at the quarter post The small marble marker recently rescued, was close by . He also recalled that the horses owner William B. Smith, father of the late Wnchel Smith, the play wright was carriage in Hartford and the high wheeled sulky that Thomas Jefferson pulled was made by the Mansuy and Smith Carriage Company. Thomas Jef- ferson according to Mr. Mitchell was in 61 races and took first place in fortyone of them His best record for the mile was 223 made years before Dan Patch startled the horse world with his two minute ile Of course the present worlds record is that held by Grey hound and made last September at Lexington Kyr of 155 IA minutes. And Incidentally Dan Patchs name hasn't been erased from record books yet in several events Back in 1903 Dan Patch paced me pulling a high-wheeed sulky, in 2o4 34 and the same day he paced two miles in 41 both of which records still stand Also Dan Patch's pacing record of l mile-to wagon,
 made at Memphis in this year of 1903 is still good It was 1.57 IA. Horseman.

When Lady Lindsay, wife of the
 British Ambassador to the United
 States, returned to Washington
 from recent visit to England, she
 found a stack of calling cards
 over two feet high. They had been
 left by socialities hopeful of invi-
 tations to royal functions.
 and capital hosseses are calling at the British Embassy at the rate of 100 an afternoon.
 The sharp increase in Mrs. Helms mail is caused by a flow of letters from women seeking to place a gold seal on their social careers by an invitation to a party for the royal visitors. Some only hint at the fact, but others break right out with uncamouflaged requests.
 The British embassy will share honors with the White House as a social center while Their Majesties are here. Perhaps that is the rea- son that Lady Lindsay, wife of the British Ambassador, is receiving so many calls these days. When she re- turned from a recent trip to Eng land, she found a stack of calling cards two feet, three inches high, left during her absence.
 But the social climbers-and they are legion here-are due for disap- pointment. During the three-day royal visit everything will be run strictly according to precedence and supervised by the State Depart ment and the British embassy.
 There isn't even bare chance for any of them to make the list" for the glittering state dinner at the White House. The dining room there seats only 100. The East Room scene of the musicales, which traditionally follow high state affairs, accomo-

 Their Majesties will enter the huge barn-like station through the presi- dential entrance, specially renovated for the occasion. As they walk through 1t along corridor flanked by picked guard of marines, the Army band will play God Save the King" and the "Star Spangled Ban- ner." A calvary squadron will form the escort up historic Pennsylvania Avenue.
 The King and Queen will live at the White House during their visit. As they drive up to the entrance, President and Mrs. Roosevelt, flank ed by naval and military aides, will be out on the porch to greet them.
 The King and Queen, first reign ing heads of a foreign state ever to sleep in the White House, will each have bedroom and bath suite at the eastern end of the second floor of the White House. For a sitting room they will share the Monroe Room, where the treaty with Spain was signed.
 The climatic moment of the visit comes when the royal guests and their hosts make their appearance for the state dinner. With all the other guests gathered in the East Room, and aide announces:

by military and naval aids. Then the guests, in order of their rank, start circling by to be presented one by one. That over, the Big Four" lead the procession to dinner.
 After dinner, the ladies retire for coffee, the gentlemen stay for cigars. The musical, to which more guests are invited, completes the evening.
 Biggest social event, although not the most select, is expected to be the British Embassy tea in honor of Their Majesties. The beautiful embassy garden in spacious enough that the guest list might include a thousands persons. The royal couple would take their tea on a white stone portico overlooking the garden Distinguished guests, such as Chief Justice and Mrs. Hughes or Secret ary of State and Mrs. Cordell Hull, would be brought to their table for a few minutes chat.
 Should the King and Queen de- eide to entertain at dinner at the Embassy, the guest list would be limited to 30 or 40, all top-ranking officials and diplomats.

BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

 There is always something Called the greatest invention of man, One wonder has followed another Since the world began. It may be the telephone Or the Atlantic cable, Or some other discovery By chap most able. Aircraft and submarine, All have their place, And last but not least radio Which gets the biggest space, The air being good circulator In passing along the good word, And entertainment good and wholesome As well as trivial and absurd; Also pep talks by persons Of high and low degree, Or a tenor warbling about Mary, the Rose of Tralee. So todays greatest invention Soon becomes an also ran, Because greater things every day Are being invented by man.

The chanting of three prayers that are included in the Tenebrae is solemn and dgnified service and appropriate settings for same used
 may be heard at the Catholic mother church in this city the final days of Holy Week.
