ceremony in keeping with the grim
times, the Duke of Kent, youngest
brother of Britain's King George VI,
was welcomed to Washington today.
The duke arrived with President
Roosevelt from Hyde Park on the
presidential special after q week end
at the New York estate with the
Chief Executive and Mrs. Roosevelt.
The Duke, on an inspection tour
of military and naval establishments
and defense industries in this coun-
try and Canada, was whisked imme-
diately to the Naval Air Station at
Anacostia, where he boarded naval
transport plane that took off at once
for Norfolk, Va, where the royal
visitor was to spend the day looking
over naval and air facilities in that
area.
The special train reached Union
Station shortly after o'clock Be-
cause the times of the Presidents
arrival and departures never are an
nounced these days, the station area
was deserted except for welcoming
dignitaries, small detachment Of
soldiers, police and Secret Service
men.
Duke to Return Tonight.
A small crowd, however, noticing
that police had closed off one exit,
sensed what was happening and
waited to cheer the President and
the Duke as they went their sepa-
rate ways. The Duke returns to
Washington tonight to be an over
night guest at the White House.
Tomorrow he will take a sight
seeing tour in and around Washing
ton which will include an inspec-
zion of the Martin bomber plant
near Baltimore.
When the presidential special
crawled up to the spot assigned it,
the Duke of Kent was the first to
alight. He and the President had
parted temporarily on the train, and
Mr.. Roosevelt did not leave until
several minutes after the Dukes
car and escort rolled away.
The youthful, good-looking Duke
was dressed in the brown uniform
of wing commander in the r. A. F.
This simple uniform was embellished
only with the wings denoting his air
command and the ribbons Of his
various decorations.
He stepped out of his Pullman car
alone. smiled slightly and shook

For an extremely nominal fee
you can purchase one of the
best-looking foulard patterned
robes he's ever seen.
They come in the classic Fou-

tons of brown. yellow and
green; wine and royal blue with
dash Of black; several of the
deeper green shades with a shot

Light in weight, expertly

AS FOR The General Trend,

Trousers are narrower, colors
much brighter and coats a shade
longer.
Blue. They Say, is the leading
color with the brown shades a
close second-both livened up
via brighter accessories and
eelefful weapes.
Stripes, yeu,lll find are strong
favorites IN both double and
slngle-breasted models; three

favorite in the former group.
It's at the cuff where the
trousers are narrower-some of
them are almost the peg-top
variety.
AIR FORCE BLUE is much
in evidence for both business and
dress-up and is seen mostly in
chalk-striped flannels.
Sports coats are making their
