the way to the sidewalk Of
Massachusetts avenue (pro-

behind the line.
Il was all done with the I'M
ruined ease Of the clearly con-
ceiyed plan perfectly carried
out. It was typical Of the en-
cheney with which the British
always handle their royalty
All Of Washington's most
famous hostesses eventually
went through the line but moi
| all behaved in the same way
Their greetings varied as much
as the male attire.
Mrs. Nicholas Longworth wore
black and did not curtsy. Mrs
Arthur Fowler. right behind
her. did q little bob. as the
British call 1t.
Mrs. John Foster Dulles stood
erect as she shook hands. and
so did Mrs. Christian Herter
Mrs. Wiley Buchanan and Mrs
Eleanor Dulles. But Mrs. J
Borden Hartman eurtsied and
down went Mrs. Robert Woods
Bliss and Countess Szechenyi
who was wearing deep blue
velvet.
Mrs. Paul Magnuson kept hei
knee unbent. but Mrs. Perit
Mesta, Mrs. Merriweather Post
and Mrs. Robert Guggenheim
both bent theirs. Mrs. Morris
Cafritz bobbed. SO did Mrs
Douglas Dillon. who was es-
corted by her husband. the Dep
uty Undersecretary Of State.
No doubt q queen has to bt
prepared for variety, for thi'

used the nondip American ap-
proach.
Probably all q Senator would
have to do to lose an election
would be TO let his wife curtsy
to the British. A few discreet
cameramen were on the side
lines waiting to snap a newsy
| picture.
Deepest curtsy made by an
American in an official posi-
ton was performed by Mrs. Earl
Warren as she and the Chief
Justice went through the line.

flve-minute rest-were such

escorted by the British Ambas-
sador and Lady Caccia and
followed by her encourage,
stepped down irto the first
tent.
When she looked beyond into
the big tent and saw the
enormous crowd in there she
indicated her surprise to Sir

look. Then she stepped down
into the garden where she

to four people-Admiral Jer-

Allen Dulles and the South
African Ambassador.
Prince Philip went in q diff
