OF the stats of the British, Canadian
and South African Legations, moved
among the veterans and through
the crowds, welcoming everybody to
the Embassy. Sharply the veterans
drew to attention as the notes of
God Save the King" heralded the
approach of the King down the
stone steps leading to the garden
shortly after 10 am.
King Approached Slowly.
Accompanied by Ambassador Sir
Ronald Lindsay and followed by
members of the official party, King
George walked slowly down the in
side Of the eastern side of the
hollow square. He was attired in
morning clothes. He proceeded
slowly, clasping the hand of veteran
after veteran, chatting for a mo-
ment with a few who apparently
were selected at random.
He passed completely around the
square when Queen Elizabeth, para
sol aloft. made her appearance to
the restrained, respectful cheers OF
the gathering. The crowd joined in
the singing of God Save the King
The voices were the soft voices of a
village choir.
Little 3-year-old Isabelle Kinlock
Of Washington, guided by her
mother with leather leash, edged
up as the Queen approached.
The little girl kept looking side
ways down the garden.
The Queen looked down and
smiled ON the child's curly blond
head, and the mother urged, Curt
sy."
The little girl, however, picked up
the hem of her plaid skirt and
tucked it in her mouth. The Queen
laughed and held out her right
hand and the little girl put her tiny
left hand in it. The Queen said a
word or two and passed on down
the line.
The Exeter Band played Review
Troop" softly, almost hymnlike in its
quality. The King joined the Queen.
The Queen conversed for several
minutes with the Rev. Donald Nc
Lean, professor Of political and 90

around the corner of the Cathedral
Close, turned southwark on Wis
consin avenue and proceeded to the
White House.

his right, occupied the rear seat of

Ronald Lindsay, British Ambassador

Men of the party were informally
attired in light weight suits. The
President wore panama hat, and
the King grey felt hat with the
rim turned down.
Accompanying Mrs Roosevelt and
Queen Elizabeth was Capt. Daniel
j. Callaghan. chief White House
naval aide Because of the heat of
the sun, the top of their open car
had been put up. Mrs. Roosevelt
wore the same blue wool dress with
hat to match she wore during the
morning reception. But Queen Eliz-

Bingham drive for a tour into deep
er woods, that there doomed up
along the right side next to both
the King and Queen typical Amer
lean scene. In the front seat of an
automobile a young couple, looking
deep into each others eyes, were ap.
parently oblivious to the royal pres
ence.
At one of the fords a father al
most knee deep in water, with long
pants folded high above his knees
was holding child by each hand
looking with disbelief at the royal
party.
Another father held his baby in
arms high in the air for the King
and Queen to see, while one man at
a picnic ground stood on top of his
car and gesticulated enthusiastic
| cally.
Several baseball games were in
progress, picnic fires sent their
smoke through stone chimneys.
One woman scrambled hastily into
her car. apparently to hide long
stockings rolled down over her shoe
tops.
The royal party then proceeded
through the north end of the park,
turning right on Oregon avenue,
formerly Daniel road, past beautiful
estates. right on Wise road, which
brought it back to Beach drive
again, out Military road to Ross
drive, left on Glover road past the
equitation field, back to Beach drive
again and out of the park by way
of Klingle road.
Moran Waves Welcome.
On the road out of the park the
royal party was greeted enthusiastic
cally by man with a big panama
hat, which he waved time and again.
He was recognized as one who for
merly headed the Secret Service and
as such protected the lives of many
Presidents and notables-W. H.
Moran, now retired.
Passing up Woodley road, the
party was greeted by the largest
group it had seen since the Lincoln
Memorial. 1t was part of the crowd
which had begun gathering as early
as l o'clock in the Cathedral
Grounds.
Special prayers had been offered
for the King and Queen at noon
services at the Cathedral, according
to E. N. Lewis, secretary of the
Cathedral Association.
Among those who waited in vain
Tor the royal party was the Right
Rev. James E. Freeman; Bishop of
Washington. He had planned to
receive the royal visitors at the door
Of Bethlehem Chapel
More than 5000 spectators also
waited in vain on Thirty-fourth
street between Massachusetts ave-
nue. and Woodley road for a glimpse
OF royalty. None was stationed be-
tween the park and Thirty-fourth
street. The first intimation the
crowd and police at the intersection
OF Thirty-fourth street and Woodley
road had of the whereabouts of the
royal party was when the advance
police squad roared around the cor
ner from the park and started up
the hill. The scrambling crowd
gave the party a hearty ovation.
The President and the King in the
first car and Mrs. Roosevelt and the
Queen in the second car waved in
response.

dral grounds missed seeing the royal

All were in civilian dress. On left

The crowd. which had been tense
for the last five minutes before the
royal arrival relaxed and idled about
the sidewalk, flying balloons, eating
ice cream and cajoling hot babies.
Most Of them waited around for
another view of the King and Queen

This" said the policeman. "is
not such a good place for you. I
don't think you'll see so well. Why
don't you move out into the other
part of the garden"
Expectancy Dogs Conscience.
This, Mr.. Wheeler allowed, was
fine idea. Still expecting to be
given the buns rush with British
h'accent, the reporter wandered
about the party. The guests began
to assemble, all of the men dressed
either in formal morning attire Or
in natty white suits.
There was some looking down
the-lorgnettes at the reporter, but
several dignitaries came up to chat
with Mr. Wheeler. He knows they
were dignitaries. because people
would stroll by and say, "Howdy.
Senator" or "Howdy, Mr.. Fourth
Assistant Secretary"
The tension mounted and at one
point the newspaperman said he
was SO tired of waiting to be thrown
out that he thought of walking up
to the nearest detective chief and
confessing the hoax.
But he didn't and at last the King
and Queen appeared Another crisis
was upon him as the Queen ad-
vanced toward him. smiling broadly,
and giving every evidence of being
about to say something pleasant.
But she swerved aside to duck a
curtsying dowager and the reporter
escaped.
The strawberries looked fine, but
Mr.. Wheeler didn't eat any.

Greater Washington, who is being
hailed today as the only unbidden
guest at Lady Lindsay's garden
party for the King and Queen at
the British Embassy yesterday.
Mr.. Wheeler, a horny handed son
of toll, strolled nonchalantly into
the Embassy garden, clad in a
travelWorn business suit and wear
ing a necktie loud enough to hush
2l-gun salute. He spent the after
noon swapping chatter with the as

berries and the royalty.

Mr.. Wheeler was sent to Wash
ington this week by his paper. the
Chicago Times, to cover the visit of
Brltaln'S rulers. He was particularly
anxious to visit the Embassy during
the garden party, but was aware
that Lady LindSay's edict that only
few chosen reporters could attend
was to be enforced fully by police
He arrived in the neighborhood of
the Embassy about two hours before
the party started yesterday. He
ambled up to gate at the front Of
the palace, expecting to be shot
down any minute by the Washing
ton detectives, the Secret Service,
the State Department or Scotland
Yard men who had taken a blood
oath that none should pass.
The unbidden guest walked right
into the garden and none accosted
him. Mr.. Wheeler thought this was
strange and entirely too good to last.
He was expecting the buns rush
any minute.

AS the King and Queen rolled
through this section of the park be-
You'd the Zoo, they came upon sights
familiar to Westinghouse in hot
weather. Boys standing in Rock
Greek had their shirt tails out. A
hiker plodded along the roadway
with his long pants rolled up to the
knees. A group of happy children
enjoyed a picnic under adult super
vision. A horseback rider, for some
reason, was leading a horse along
the bride path instead of riding it.
