Chairs were at a premium. Fans,
like the black leather one welded
by Representative Caroline ODay,
Democrat, Of New York were
popular.
The Queen and her ladies carried
parasols and few Of the guests,
among them Mrs. James r. Hughes,
wife of the Delaware Senator, fol-
lowed suit.
The curtsy question, which had
beeni troubling the minds Of many
American women, was decided indi-
vidually by those who met the King
and Queen. Mrs. Garner shook
hands with them, while Mrs. Peter
Goelet Gerry and Mrs. Willard

Cheering Section Outside.
The cheering section for the party
gathered outside the Embassy, where
hundreds stood for hours looking
at the arriving notables.
A traffic jam in the neighborhood
upset the guests, but was of great
advantage to the audience. Many
of the notables gave up their efforts
to drive up to the Embassy, got
out of their cars and walked. The
onlookers cheered many of them.
The Presidents uncle, Frederic A.
Delano, was one Of the first to ar
rive-under his own power Secre-
tary of Agriculture and Mrs. Henry
Wallace were caught in the traffic
jam and she spent the time looking
at the throngs outside.

There were go plain-clothes po-

ice and Washington detective-in-
side the party. Some were in for
NAL dress, others wore white linen
or neatly pressed business suits.
The reaction on Capitol Hill to-
day from those who attended the
party was enthusiastic. Only Sem
ator Murray. Democrat, of Montana,
declined to be ELUSIVE. Said he:
Il don't see why people should
go into ecstasies over it. We're
making it look as though we were
aping royalty. We should accord
the same treatment to the Irish
premier. The Irish have paid their
debt to us, as these people haven't"
Other Opinions Differ.
Elsewhere, though. different words
were heard. Among the comments
were:

"The King and Queen impressed me
as being like our fine ikeable Amer

Senator Bulow-who wore the
white 10-gallon hat with cutaway
coat and striped trousers-said:
"The King and Queen mingled
with the crowd and everybody got
a closeup Of them. think they
whispered something about my cos

thing to my face"

perfectly grand time. I thought the
Queen looked lovely. Her pictures
don't do her Justice"
