She had expressed desire not
to be presented at court, so after
the garden party at Buckingham
Palace, they were invited to Windsor
Castle for spot of tea which the
Queen served herself. Mrs. Hull
who is Virginian, and who likes
hot bread, was delighted to find the
buttered scones and mullins hot,
and the homemade jam delicious.
The Queen showed her about Wind
sor, the glory of the lovely gardens
and the world-old furnishings and
picture gallery. She was charmed
with the ever-changing beauty of
the English countryside, the clipped
hedges, the hawthorne trees-but
had to exclaim, It's like our old
Virginia, the flowers, the ivy, the
greenery.'
We only know what we have seen
IN the papers, but we do know that
Mrs. Roosevelt, with her delicious
sense of humor, must appreciate all
the conjectural stories about the
etiquette to be observed at the White
House during the royal visit-well
one mans guess Is as good as an
others, and from those charming
people who have met the King and
Queen abroad, we feel the American
people can rest assured that their
majesties will enjoy to the fullest
the well-bred air of hospitality
which the Roosevelts have made
famous-dignity and graciousness
combined. And. too, Lady Lindsay
seems to have been very thoughtful
to go over her program with the
ladies of the press so that there
might not be any Misunderstanding
Likeness of George vi
To His Father.
AS it will doubtless fall to the lot
OF few Americans to catch more
than fleeting glimpse of their
royal highnesses when they arrive
at Washington as the guests of the
Nation, 1t might be some satisfaction
70 60 to the Natural History Build
ing of the United States National
Museum where they will see an ex-
cellent portrait of George V. father
of the present King which is strik-
ingly like his son. Indeed, the
present George is said to strongly
resemble his father not only in
looks but in manner. The same
likable, simple gentleman with
pretty dignity who takes seriously
the job that has been thrust upon
him just as did his father when the
death Of his elder brother, the Duke
of Clarence, placed him in direct
succession to the throne. George v
and vi are known as the sailor
Kings Those who heard over the
radio the first speech of the King
in Canada may have noted the
similarity in the radio voices of the
two men. And by the way, King
Georges enunciation was almost
perfect in both his English and
French addresses.
, Owing to spring cleaning of the
gallery where the portrait of George
v usually hangs-just next to the
Harriet Lane Johnston room, where
there are interesting souvenirs of
the present Kings grandfather when
he was Prince of Wales and visited
President Buchanan-Mr. Tolman,
director of the collection of fine arts,
has had the portrait hung on the
first floor, facing the entrance to
the south door of the museum. AS
George v wore closely clipped Van
Dyke beard, the likeness is noticed
from the mouth up, and the heads
are shaped alike.

There has come to our writing

George H. Paine, United States Mil

month at their beautiful villa On
