break in the line at the recep-

King Paul and Queen Fred

Are you happy?" she asked
Mrs. Sheffield. The latter an
swered in the affirmative. If
you're half as happy as I,
that's wonderful" said the
pretty 36-year-old sovereign.
Her eyes glowed with the
sweetness, vitality and SINGER
ity that has captivated the
Capital from the start.
Other former schoolmates
who had later attended Miss
Mays in Florence, Italy, with
the young Hanoverian princess
also had been invited into the
reception room to chat with
her majesty.
She reminisced with them
about the time they all took a
trip to Venice, asked each
about husbands, the number
of their children and so forth.
II would like to come back
unofficially some time" Fred
erika told them. why don't
you come back and bring your
children?" suggested Mrs. Ty-
son Gilpin. "Oh, I couldn't
cope with the children" smiled
the Queen, adding she had
enough to do looking after
herself. She asked them all
to visit her in New York, how
ever, as soon as the official
part of this trip is over.
Curtsying Protocol

why. Protocol says in America

anyhow we are not expected
to curtsy to royalty because
curtSying is not an American
custom. In Rome do as the
Romans do. But Americans
who have met royalty in Eu-
rope. where it is the custom
usually, seem to be torn in the
other direction.

Morgenstierne of Norway,
Lady Makins and her twin
daughters from Great Britain,
Lady Spender of Australia, etc.
Most Americans probably
never gave it a thought. Nor
did the King and Queen act
stiff enough to invoke such a
thought. An extremely attrac-
tive, handsome, normal looking
couple, they held out their
hands with the friendliness
that suggested a clasp of hands
rather than a low bow.

clothes.
The entire wardrobe down to
the gloves, shoes, handbags, and
hats was done by Jean Desses,
the Greek designer whose Paris
salon is frequented by some of
the worlds most elegant women.
Plans for it were started last
August when Desses flew to
Athens to do the preliminary
sketches.
During the crossing on the
S. S. United States, the Queen
and the designer spent many
hours plotting what she would
wear when and where. Her
daytime clothes are simple while
the five evening dresses are
sunlptuous creations in keeping
with Desses' desire that in the
evening Frederika must look
every inch the Queen she is.
For travelling the Queen has

trimmed with nutria. At yester-
days luncheon in honor of their
majesties given by the joint
committee of the press, radio,
teievision and news photogra-

brocade long-sleeved afternoon
dress. The collar was of mink.
Her hat was mink calot trim

wore on the back of her head.

framed it.

1t is this gown she will wear at
tonight's Greek Embassy dinner.
She is particularly fond of
velvet and has brought with her
three velvet coats. One is in a
rose color, the other in a brown,
and to match her sparkling
green eyes an emerald green
velvet coat.
According to Jean Desses,
there is no one special gown the
Queen would call her "favorite."

BALTIMORE, Mar. 1.-THE

knowledged that the owners OF
the team had been approached
with a buying proposition but
said the price offered was too
small.
Manager Bob Elmer said ne

Elmer made his statement
after a published report that a
local hotel man, Arnold Herman,
was heading a group of four
Baltimoreans interested in enter
ing a team in the NBA.
The story, in the Baltimore
NeWS-Post, said Herman and his
group wanted to buy the Bullets
or else buy the orphan Indian

ated by the NBA.
It said if the latter plan went
through, the group would be
interested in placing the In

as coach.

quoted as saying.
