ambassadors to the OAS not
equipped with an official
car and chauffeur although
the OAS is 81 per cent fl
nanced by the United States,
has found himself in some
comical situations because
of it.
There was that time last
summer when Brazilian Am
bassador to the OAS Fer
nando Lobo was so i'll he
wanted to be flown back to
his country. Because he had
been a great friend of
America, President Kennedy
sent him back on the presi-
Dental jet, and he wrote a
personal note to Mrs. Lobo
which Ambassador Morri-
son and the Presidents Air
Aide Godfrey McHugh were
to deliver to her. God
frey came over to the State
Department in a White
House car but released it
thinking Ambassador Nor
rison would have an auto
mobile. But nary a car was
available for the AmbaSsa-
dor so the two drove up to
Mrs. Lobo's, bearing the
Presidents handwritten note
in a beat up taxi that hap
pened to appear on the
scene. 1t was pretty impress
sive!
And last month when
Chep Morrison attended
the Peruvian Embassy re-
ception for President Prado,
he drove up in his own car,
gave his name and prepared
to abandon his car to the
car-parkers, when the door,
man began tc below toward
the group Of guests waiting
to depart, Ambassador Nor
riSon! Ambassador Morri-
son!" Obviously the door,
man had never heard of an
ambassador driving his own
car, so he thought Mr..
Morrison was the driver who
had come to pick up the
Ambassador! The former
Mayor of New Orleans was
so amused he let him call
his name for a while before
he Strengthened him out.
When it comes to the
wherewithal for many
things, the State Depart
ment seems to be the step

ernment. Perhaps this is

DUKE LOSES
EVEN TEMPER

The Duke is a meticulous
person. He likes his things
to be just so.
I remember there was
trouble once over some
paintings he had hanging
in his study at Clarence
House. They were of his
father, his mother and his
grandmother.
When I had them put up
for him. he insisted on hav-
ing them hung unevenly. I
didn't really approve but,
Of course, I did what he
asked.
A few days later he asked
me if I had altered them,
because he had found them
all hanging evenly.
Oh course, l hadn't, ana
I said so.
I had them repositioned.
unevenly, the way he liked.
But a few days later they
had been altered again
back into the straight line.
The Duke was furious. I
have never seen him so
angry. Inquiries we're made.
and it was discovered that
one of the Queens staff
had made the alterations
when she was dusting.
There was a Spine-chilling
reprimand and a young lady
left the room in tears. OF
course, this occasion was
quite exceptional. Usually
the Duke is most under
standing.

cleane d regularly, usually
while the family is away.
This is when the house.
keeper takes over. Dust
sheets are thrown over all
the furniture. Loose covers
are removed, curtains come
down and carpets taken up.
All are sent to cleaning
firms which hold the Royal
Warrant. only the fine
white net curtains that cover
the windows in the Royal
Suite are washed in the
Palace laundries.
I've often admired the
deep luster-so brilliant that
could see my face reflected
in the wooden the tables
and chairs. And that gleam.
remember, is put there by
hard work and elbow grease.
There's a traditional way
of polishing the royal furni-
ture. Nobody knows the secret
except for the Queens staff.
1t has been handed down
from father to son on all the
royal estates for generations.
I suspect that the polish is
made from beeswax and tur-
pentine, for that has been
used on furniture for CEN
turies.
No Free Spender
Of course, even with the
greatest care in the world,
furnishing fabrics, carpets
and so on don't last forever.
When the time comes for a
replacement to be made, the
Queen asks for books of
samples to be sent to her.
She inspects the samples
herself, for she personally
chooses everything that goes
into the Palace and she
takes great care over her
selection.
1t is never a case Of: We'll
have the best, and never
mind the cost" Instead, she
asks: How will it wear?
How much does it cost? How
does it compare in price with
this other one?"
And she never minds say
ing, mo, that is much too
expensive. =. You must find
me something cheaper"

Washington is suddenly
becoming a national curios-
ity. The Nations Capital is
all at once being dis
covered" by the Nations
magazines.
Indeed, you might think
this was Togoland or some
quaint place equally un-
known by the amount of
extraordinary inquisitivenesS
currently being displayed.
Could it be that New York,
where most magazines have
their headquarters, is just
now finding out that Wash
ington is the heart, soul,
and of course. the purse
in short, the very center
of the Free World? That
seems hardly likely mas
much as Washington has
been all these things since
mid-World War II.
so ONE MUST SURMISE
that it is the social glamor
of the colorful Kennedy ad-
miniStration that is stimu-
lating this unprecedented
interest. In any case, Look
Magazine is devoting a whole
January issue to Washing
ton, House and Garden has
a whole issue on Washing
ton planned for July but
may move it up, Esquire is
devoting its whole July is
sue, Holiday is gathering
material now for a whole is
sue, House Beautiful and the
National Geographic both
have major features coming
out on this fair city, and the
Ford Company is now ad-
vertising a new slick color
magazine that will devote
it's entire first issue (Novem-
ber 15) to Washington.
There are undoubtedly
others bitten by the same
bug of discovery that this
columnist simply hasn't
heard about.
All of them can take pic
lures of beautiful land
marks from one end of town
to the other. They can
cover the doings in the White
House, the Capitol and the
State Department. But they
will never get the essence of
Washington unless they look
into the private drawing
rooms where the city's celeb
rites gather 10 hash over
everything that's been going
on in the White House,
the Capitol and the State
Department.
In some peoples opinion,
the reason why the stage
version of advise and Con-
sent" did not have a longer
run, is that it drained off
the drama of all social
glamor and left as back
ground only the gray walls
of government.
Washington is a dinner
party of guests dedicated to
the puzzle of survival, but
even as each gets down to
the meat of the problem, he
can't help enjoying the ele-
gance of the table appoint
ments, the charm of the
company. and the frosting
with which power coats
every dessert.

effect is light, airy and gra-
cious; a room to relax in.
The Queen is a very femi-
nine person. She loves light,
pretty colors-pale pink, pale
blue. dove gray-and prefers
the soft glow of reading
lamps to the brilliance of the
sparkling chandeliers that
hang from every ceiling.
She adores flowers. Bowls
of sweet-Scented blossoms
are placed in every room all
the year round.
And I think the Queen
would rather have photo
graphs of her family around
her than the greatest paint
ings ever done. She has doz-
ems of these photographs in
her sitting room.
Out Goes the Old
All the furnishings in the
royal apartments are the
Queens and the Dukes per-
sonal possessions. Many of
them are wedding presents.
Bucking ham Palace is
overcrowded with furniture.
Past monarchs have left a
heritage of antiques unsur-
passed for splendor and mag
nificence. But the effect isn't
exactly cozy!
AS soon as the Queen de-
cided which rooms she would
have for the royal suites, she
had the heavy ornate furni-
ture removed.
Out went the beautiful, but
uncomfortable, hard-backed
chairs, and in came her own
superbly upholstered easy
chairs and sofas.
Away went the heavily
carved, gilded tables and
sideboards; in their place
elegant Chippendale and
Sheraton antiques.
Yet it was a sad day when
she had to leave her lovely
home in Clarence House to
live in the palace as Queen.
She and Philip had enjoyed
so much fun arranging their
first-married home, and they
had been so happy there.
Perhaps that is why their
apartments at Buckingham
Palace are so like those at
Clarence House.
The Queens bedroom, for
instance, with its eau-de-nil
walls and pale ice-blue silk
brocade counterpane and
curtains. is almost the same
as her first bedroom.
The big double bed with
its white linen sheets and
white wool blankets is the
same.
Her bathroom has fitted
carpets and huge mirrors,
just as it had in her first
home.
The Duke, who designed
the decor of his own rooms,
brought over much of his
furniture from Clarence
House.
His study, with its bottle
green carpet and curtains,
It's natural-hide easy chairs
and soft red cushions, is
every mans dream study.
There's a map table,
which we had specially made
to let in and out of the wall
at a touch, and a business
like adjustable angle lamp
on the huge Canadian maple
desk which holds his private
papers.

FIT FOR A QUEEN
Elizabeth Builds Home
In Buckingham Palace
BY ROBERT WEBB


North American Newspaper Alliance
s LONDON, Oct. People
3 are always a asking me:
what is it really like in
Buckingham Palace? How
can the Queen make a home
in that huge place."
{ Perhaps they picture her
S-regal and dignified-like a
little girl lost in the vast
impersonal atmosphere of
royalty's official residence.
Well, I'm able to tell them
that there's certainly moth
ing impersonal in the Queens
home. It's as cozy and private
as any home in Britain.
I can describe it to you,
because 1 am one of the very
few ordinary people ever to
have been closely concerned
with it.
AS a former manager in a
firm of royal furnishers, I
have helped the Queen with
her choice Of furniture since
she started building a home
13 years ago.
House Within a House
Most visitors to Bucking-
ham Palace see only the
endless red-carpeted cor
ridors and the chill mag
nificence of the white and
gold state rooms-the maj
esty that surrounds the
Queens public life.
But at the end of one of
those long corridors, behind
an unobstrusive ere a m
painted door, is the "houSe
within a house" the home
which the Queen has so low
ingly made for her husband
and children.
1t is in her home that the
Queen truly expresses her
self as a woman; a house
proud woman.
There are relatively few
rooms in the royal suite.
They are the Queens sitting
room, bedroom and bath
room: the Duke of Edin-
burgh's study, bedroom and
bathroom, and a little din
ing room where the couple
entertain friends.
Just above these rooms,
on the second floor, are the
nurseries-baby Prince An
drcw's night nursery. and
the big, cozy day nursery
which all the children use.
There is also a dining room
where the children eat
when their parents are
away or are entertaining,
and the older children's bed
rooms and bathrooms.
If the children want a
quick word with Mummy or
Daddy, they can reach them
by a private staircase con-
Meeting the two suites.
Consults With Husband
The royal suite is a dolls
house compared with the
fantastic size Of the palace.
But to the royal family it
Is indeed home.
The Queen has chosen
every color scheme and
every piece of furniture;
bought the carpets, and de-
cided with her husband ex-
actly where everything goes.
She has wonderful taste,
and a most remarkable
knowledge of antique furni-
ture and silver. The Duke
is just as interested in their
home, and know the Queen
would never make any de-
cision without consulting
him first.
If their tastes differ, they
usually compromise by ask
ing someone else's opinion.
I remember once being
called into the dining room
to join the Queen (she was
Princess Elizabeth them
and the Duke.
They were looking anx-
iously at two colored panels
on the wall.
One was a pale greenish-
blue called eau-de-nil. The

other was the same sort Of
color but much deeper.
Look, Mr.. Webb" said
the Duke. We've been star
ing at these panels for
hours. and we simply can't
decide which color to have.
Which one do you think
would be best?"
Now, the dining room was
a dark room, and I thought
the paler color would be
much better. But / didn't
like to say so too definitely,
so I hummed and hawed a
bit.
The Duke wasn't having
any of that!
Come on, Mr.. Webb, be
honest" he laughed.
So I was, and said: II like
them both, sir, but perhaps
the pale color would be bet
ter since this room doesn't
get much light"
I discovered later that
this was the Queens choice,
too.
Eau-de-nil is one of her
favorite colors. She has
used it in several rooms and
it makes a perfect back
ground for her lively fur
niture.
Airy, Not Austere
Her sitting-room walls are
in this delicate pale green,
picked out with white and
gold.
And what a beautiful room
this is with its wonderful
old furniture, every piece a
work of art. The carpet is
a fine pale gold, and its
color is echoed in the cream
silk-shaded lamps.
The wonderfully comfort
able easy chairs and sofas
are covered with blue silk
brocade.
Yes, though every piece in
this room is almost priceless,
the stately home" grandeur
Of a palace is missing. The
