striking any bones.
But the right, the one which Steve
needed most-well, that was another
matter.
Partly because DIR. Renquist and
Miss Gillen, Bill Blaine's office nurse,
were present; but more because she
didn't want Steve to hear what she
had to ask, Linda, in an aside, whis-
pered a question to Bill. The blond
head nodded affirmatively and, mo-
ment later, he Joined Linda in small

had closed the door, 81 MUST know.
Can you save his hand d.. so he can
use it freely, work with it, mean ?"
DR.. Blaine took a cigarette from a
pack he had drawn from his pocket
and Linda noticed that his hand-the
hand which had been so steady under
similar circumstances on the roof
was not SO steady now.
After a long pause, which Linda
thought would never end, as he lighted
the cigarette, took puff, inhaled
deeply and exhaled with huff that
signalized relieved tension, Bill look

"But you can fix it, Bill-YOU can.
You're the best bone surgeon in the
building -

piled, somewhat shortly, Linda
thought. "The tendons are cut :"
"TENDONS?" Linda was near the
screaming point. "Tendons can be
spliced :"
"Of course" Blaine interrupted,
there's no danger that he'll lose his
hand. It's just question of whether
he'll have free and full use Of it a.

Of nerve injury. A good man might
be able to fix it as good as new. But

"Bill," Linda's sharp voice said now.
"You MUST you just MUST
save that hand!"
Blaine looked at her long moment

before he answered. Then he said
very quietly:
"I didn't know Hubbard meant so
much to you, Linda. I'll do the very
best I can"
Linda wanted to say: It's not what
he means to me, it's what his hand
means to HIM!
Instead she said: "Thank you, Bill;
I knew you would"
"Have them get the emergency
ready downstairs, please" Bill direct
ed.
When Linda and Bill returned to
the treatment room they found Rennie
Renquist and Miss Gillen alone with
Steve.
Merry Blaine, they were told, had
gone out, upset and nearly frantic;
had gone to see if she could find her
father in the building.
"She MUST be excited" Bill grunt-
ed. "She knew he'd gone out Of
town :"
"Steve," Linda said, trying to smile.

"Swell," Steve said. Gonna give
the boy a good hand, eh?"
And Linda saw that Steve could
grin again.

der of Merry's car and the rear license
frame on which he was working.
Steve's left hand, less seriously
crushed, had been impaled by the
screwdriver which he held in his right.
His right hand was smashed and
lacerated.
It was Merry, crying and somewhat
sick, who had Steve taken to her
brothers office from the basement
garage. And it was Merry who sum-
moned Linda.
When Linda first saw Steve's face,
she knew he was badly hurt. When
she saw his hands, particularly the
right one, she knew that unless this
was saved, the real Steve-the hidden
Steve she had grown to would
die.
Linda, looking with shock-widened
eyes at Steve's mangled right hand
the hand on which his whole career,
his very life, depended-tottered on
an emotional fence.
One little list would have thrown
her into an advanced attack of the
weeps-in which circumstance she
would have been less than useless, to
Steve or anyone else. A little more
exercise Of will, if she could muster
it, and she'd be the sure, cool Linda
the nurse whose nerveless efficiency
helped save the life Of the man on
the roof. Ages ago, that seemed now.
The will won out. Linda was all
right now. She was all right until
she looked from his hands back to
Steve's face and saw the hurt re-
Elected there.
Linda, looking into Steve's eyes,
knew the greatest pain was not that
in his hands, but the hurt in his heart.
In Steve's eyes she saw reflected the
grim knowledge that his dream Of
becoming a famed architect-of one
day creating "My Building"-had been
shattered by a young girls criminal
carelessness.
ooh, STEvEw Linda cried, "Don't
let it hurt you SO. It's not that bad
f.. the doctor can :"
She hadn't meant to let go that
way-to fling her arm tenderly about
Steve's pain-hunched shoulders-to
act like ninny instead Of a nurse.
Of course, the narcotic which DR..
Blaine had administered had taken
effect by that time. But no analgesic
could have soothed Steve's heart and
his tortured mind the way that Lin
da's quick impulsive act had accom-
plished it.
BY the time Bill Blaine had probed
and dressed the wound in Steve's left
hand, DR.. Renquist had entered and
was taking part in examination
Of the more previously injured right
hand.
The injury to the left hand had been
minor, by comparison. It was clean
puncture wound, made by the screw

Rules for Displaying
j. ). and British FLAGS
Given by Col. Moss
Many Queries Received
In Connection With
RoyoIty's Visit

The proper method for displaying
the United States and British flags
together was explained last night
by the United States Flag Associa-
ton, which reported many inquiries
about flag displays in connection
with the visit here of the British
King and Queen next month.
Col. James A. Moss, president
general of the flag association, SAID
the following rules should govern
joint flag displays:
l. Carried at the head of a pro-
cession with the British flag, the
United States flag should be on the
marching right-that is, to the left
of the observer facing the oncoming
procession.
2. Displayed with the British flag
against wall, stats crossed, the
United States flag should be on the
observers left, with it's staff in front
of that of the British flag.
8. Flown with the British flag
from adjacent or adjoining stats,
the United States flag should be
on the right of the British flag
that is, on the observers left.
4. Flown with the British flag
from adjoining staffs, projecting
horizontally, or at an angle from a
window sill or roof, the United
States flag should be on the OBJ
servers left, the blue field gong
clear to the peak of the staff.
S. When displayed on an auto
mobile the United States and Brit
ish flags may be fastened to the
body or clamped to the radiator cap
Where the two flags are clamped
together on the radiator cap, the
United States flag should be on The
righthand side of the car, to the
right of the British flag. Where
one flag is displayed on each SIDE
of the car, the United States flag
should be fown on the right side
of the car Under no circumstances
should either the American or the
British flag be draped over the hood
top or sides.
These five rules, if followed care
fully" Col Moss said, will cover
practically every situation involving
the use of the two flags and will
insure the correct display of TIE

King Prevented From VISITING
Congress by Centuries Old Law

the last such attendance of Brit
ish sovereign was by Queen Anne
on January II, ITO.
The British King has more dis
tant relations with Parliament than
the President with Congress. A
British parliamentarian, Redlich,
says: From the very earliest days
it was accepted as a legal principle
that the crown should have no cur
rent knowledge of the proceedings in
the House of Commons. ""'
"Over and over again they Com
mons protested with all their might
against the crowns taking note OF
what was being done in the house
and against the speakers showing
to the King bills under discussion
and even the journal of the house"
Were such the case here, Presi-
dent Roosevelt couldn't even read
the Congressional Record.

by whom they are entertained
So with the help of Miss Irene
Boyle, cousin of the Ambassador
who came with them from England
she has complete file of each caller
at the Embassy and also of every

This also includes invitations ex-

dates. The index, though of much
value to Lady Lindsay. may be of
little use to the newly appointed
Ambassador, Lord Lothian. Though
he will. of course. do his official
duties, he cares little for society as
such, but is at the same time inter-

Opinion is divided. The cabinet

long frocks, and the Senate ladies
lean toward short ones. The battle
over this point is so brisk that it
will be one Of the main topics at the
meeting of the Senate Ladies
Luncheon Club Tuesday.
Perhaps it might be help to all
the ladies to know that Lady Lindsay
has asked the wives of members of

A centuries-old conflict between
the British crown and Parlia-
ment jealous of its independence
will prevent King George vi of
England from visiting the Senate
and House on his forthcoming trip
to Washington.
The King and Queen on Friday,
June 9, will go to the Rotunda or
entrance hall of the Capitol and
there receive the Senators and Rep
resentatives, but precedent en-
shrined in British history will keep
them from entering the legislative
hall.
Other royal visitors here have not
been so restricted. Just 20 years
ago the late King Albert of the
Belgians addressed the Senate and
the House of Representatives.
But the British monarch will not
visit Congress halls-explained Sir
Ronald Lindsay, the British Am
bassador-because rigid rules limit
his presence in his own Parliament.
The rules arose to prevent the
King by his presence from over
aweing the Legislature and influenc-
ing legislation.
Up to the time of King Henry vi,
in the 18th century, it was GUS
tomary for the King to be present
at the deliberations of the lords. But
Henry vi declared that it shall be
lawful for the lords to debate to-
gether, in this present Parliament
and in every other for time to come,

the condition of the kingdom, and
the remedies necessary for it,"

Vladimir Hurban of Czecho-Slo-

tinct" countries still appear on the
list of the diplomatic corps issued by
the State Department and naturally
were included along with the heads
of foreign missions in the Capital.
In addition to the wives of Ambas-
sadors and Ministers, the COUNSEL
ors of embassies and legations and
their wives have been invited as
well as the entire staffs of the Brit
ish, Canadian, South Africa and
Irish missions
Another diplomat from a fallen
nation will be in the company but
not in the capacity of a recognized
representative of foreign land.
For Edgar Prochnik, the former
Austrian Minister, and his Amer
ican-born wife will attend as per-
sonal friends of the Ambassador
and Lady Lindsay.
Few people closely identified with
the residential set of the city will
have the opportunity of enjoying the
King and Queens hospitality at the

only some of the friends of the dean
and doyenne of the diplomatic corps.

Lady Lindsay, wife of his Britain
mic majestys Ambassador, is one
of those who illustrate the psyche
logical principle that pre-school edu-
cation and environment determine
mature tastes.
AS a child, we'll under school age
she played in Lafayette Square with
her cousin, Martha Cameron, who
became the Ambassador first wife
She played with her-not in the
modern sand piles that one finds
in Dupont Circle and other public
parks in the National Capital, but
on the greensward, among the
flower beds and the pigeons-which
were not so numerous in those days
From this early environment (or
was her enjoyment of Lafayette
Square the expression Of love for
gardens Edith Sherman Hoyt, now
the Hon. Lady Lindsay-developed
into a landscape architect. The
architect of a building merely makes
plans for others to carry out, so
Lady Lindsay planted the garden
at the British Embassy. and others
got their hands dirty
Such a person is the Doyenne of
the diplomatic corps. who has pre-
sided over the great British Embassy
since early In 1890 When she came,
the Embassy was not yet completed
and it was her task to furnish and
decorate the present home of his
majesty's personal representative at
this Capital. She made many
changes in the original plans and
completely transformed the garden,
which is now famous for the roses
which are her particular favorites.
All this she did in spite of i'll
health, for only in very recent
years of the Ambassadors service
here has she been able to take her
place in society For several sea-
sons she was obliged to undergo
treatments instead of staying in
Washington and giving parties.
Since she regained her health and
took her place in society she has
made a name for herself with her
keen but not unkind wit and her
sense of humor, which means that
she never fails to see a joke, even
if the joke is on herself.
Lady Lindsay is not the first
American to reach the distinction
of doyenne of the corps, for Nine,
Jusserand, widow of the much-be-
loved French Ambassador, was a
native of Boston. and Sonora de
Riano, who followed shortly after
Nine Jusserand, as Alice Ward was
debutante in Washington.
Lady Lindsay was the daughter of
Colgate lloyd of New York and was
presented in that city, after which
she went into the planning of gar

friends, Eleanor Roosevelt and Isa-
