CAPITAL GETTING
ROYALTY JITTERS
Grows More Excited Hour
ly As Time For Visit Os
Kin? and Queen Nears.
Washington, June 7 Growing
more excited with each passing
minute, Washington bustled to
day with last-minute pr.paraticns
to gape, gasp and exclaim over
their majesties King George VI
and Queen Elizabeth.
Up and down Pennsylvania
Avenu:, bits of bunting began ap
pearing, hinting only at the gay
decorations which will adorn the
the route on Thursday, when the
British monarchs parade in state
from Union Station t; the White
House.
With minute care, secret ser
vice, police and Army and Navy
officials studied and restudied
their elaborate plans for protect
ing the royal visitors against ov
er-enthusiastic well-wishers and
any one of less kindly intent as
well.
Shopkeepers along the Avenue,
already doing a depression
breaking business in the sale of
seats at upper windows, anxious
ly tried to find space for more
spectators at $1 to $5 each. They
did so un'der the eyes of the sec
ret service, its agents demanding
exact lists of just who would be
seated at each window.
At Demonet's, caterers to the
capital’s diplomatic set, prepara
tions were made for receiving
25,000 luscious, perfectly-ripe
Virginia strawberries, to be ser
ved with gallons of cream at the
British Embassy’s garden party in
honor of the King and Queen.
And, all over town the elect
few were calling tailor and cou
turier (or in a few instances
those emporia at which formal
attire may be had for hire) to
make sure that the proper habil
iments would be ready at the
right moment.
Among those not of the elect
a great debate continued. Weeks
ago it made itself apparent. One
side to this dispute has taken the
blase viewpoint: “The King and
Queen are coming? All right. So
what I’m going to play golf.”
Adherents of the opposite point
of view were scheming little ways
to get one glimpse of the King
and Queen, even from between
the brawny shoulders of two
Washington policemen.
And, the policemen will be out
in force wherever their majesties
go. Their numbers, in fact, will
be reinforced by the addition of
425 firemen, who have special or
ders as to pressing their uni
forms, shining their shoes and
rubbing their insignia to a bril.

liant polish.
Plans are that as the royal
couple motor slowly from the
station to the White House they
will pass between two unbroken
files of soldiers, sailors and Ma
rines. Steel cables along the curb
ing will restrain the spectators
jamming the sidewalks. In a
cleared space between the service
men and the sidewalks will be
the police, committing the lese
majeste of facing the crowds and
presenting their backs to the roy
al possession.
And, there will be dozens of
plain clothesmen, both of the po
lice force and the secret service
circulating among the throng.
The storekeepers don’t know it,
but the secret service has bought
some of their window' seats.
Card of Thanks
We wish to take this method
of expressing our sincere thanks
and appreciation to each and
every one who was so kind and
helpful to Us during the sickness
and death of our daughter. May
the Lord bless you all.

and Family.
