The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-05-23

A wartime naval pilot, instruc- tor at Yale college in China, an aide to the American delegation at the 1921 disarmament conference, Vorys takes the honor lightly. But not Mrs. Vorys, who was born in India.
 "I don't care what the other American women d0," she i'm formed her husband, "I am go- ing to curtsy to the Queen. I think that is the courteous thing to do and I am going to do it."
 In order to execute the curtsy properly, Mrs. Vorys started prac- Using, much to the interest Of her five-year old daughter, who also began bobbing up and down before the full-length mirror. Af- ter watching for a while, Mrs. Vorys' 70-year old mother brushed them aside.
 Here, let me show you," she exclaimed. Neither of you is doing it right. This is the way it should be done."
 ROYAL BORAH
 Senator William E. Borah, who as a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee will also attend the party, was told by 8 friend that he would be ex- pected to bow low to the royal visitors and then walk backward.
 To which Borah retorted with a grin, 'T know what you are up to. You are trying to keep me from going"
 BRITISH DIPLOMACY
 You can't help feel sorry at the sight of Sir Ronald Lindsay hold ing a press conference. He shifts from one foot to the other, puts his hands in, then out of his pockets, twists his seven-foot am- bassadorial frame, is completely, disarmingly charming.
 But Sir Ronald is only reaping the crop which he, himself, has Sowed.
 Sir Ronald has now been in the United States as His Britannia Majesty's ambassador for exactly nine years. During that time he has lived in the prim and proper house that is called the British embassy, played tennis on the du-Pont-built courts of Lammot Belin, gone back to England every summer, and in general trans planted as much as possible of the British Isles to Washington.
 At no time during those nine years has Sir Ronald, lovable as he is, ever tried to do much mixing with the run O the mine American people. He is the son of the 26th Earl Crawford, and he has walked in the path of would-be American earls and duchesseS.
 In fact, the British embassy al- ways has assumed an air of be- ing a little above the American people. An invitation to one of its dinners was coveted by many people more than an invitation to the White House. If the Bri- tish didn't do 1t, then it wasn't done.
 Sir Ronald, of course. is popu- lar personally. Anyone who knows him is sure to like him. But the trouble is he knows so few. His wife, former Elizabeth Sherman Hoyt of New York, inherited tooth- paste millions, and has been try ing to live it down ever since. She give the impression of doing | her best to forget that she ever was born an American. \ Personally, members of the Bri- tish embassy are cultured and charming. But if they insist on living in vacuum, 1t is no wonder that they need help from the King and Queen to sell tn, Empire in America.
 VIRGINIA JUDGE
 Senator Glass and Byrd of vir- ginia are not saying anything about it, but Roosevelt put over such a fast one on the appoint ment of new Virginia judge that they are still gasping.
 Last winter, 1t will be re- called, Glass and Byrd fought Roosevelt to . standstlll regard ing the appointment of Floyd H. Roberts as U. S. District Judge in southwest Virginia, on the ground that the President had not consulted them about it.
 They had nothing against Rob- erts' qualification, but complained that RnoanVnlk. inGtnnd of diG.
