Some 1400 ‘Chosen Few'
Will Be at Garden Party
(Starts on Page-1)
cials, high officers of the Army
and Navy, a few: cliff-dwellers
< non-governmental Washington
society), wives of late presidents
of the United States and person-
al friends of Sir Ronald and
Lady Lindsay.
There will be some 50 odd sen-
• Ttorsand wives who crashed the
party at the last moment by vir-
tue of not too well-concealed high
pressure lobbying. But exactly
and specifically who was invited
and who was left outside the gates
probably will never be known for
the guest list has not been an-
nounced.
Several Big Names.
True, Lady Lindsay specified
some of those who were invited—
Henry Ford, J. P. Morgan, Ad-
miral Richard Byrd, Alf M. Lan-
•Ion, Herbert Hoover, John L.
Lewis and William Green, to name
a few. But some have sent re-
grets, former President Hoover
among them; others, such as Lew-
is, reported that no invitation ever
arrived through the mails.
But at all events the garden
party was certain to go down in
the blue book coterie as the social
event of the Washington decade.
As a party, however, it won’t be
is ultra-super as the heated imag-
nations of the uninvited social
elect might fancy.
What it really amounts to In
Posey County, Ind., terms is -a
“lawn sociable” held under a lit-
tle more formalistic circum-
stances. Instead of blue serge
coats and white duck trousers.
360 quarts of select strawberries,
each one the size of a small plum,
and 60 gallons of heavy Devon-
shire cream so thick your spoon
will stand in it.
For the hungry there will be
3700 sandwiches and for the
thirsty a special white wine
punch or harder liquors served
from a small bar in a corner of
the embassy garden. For the
very, very British there will be,
.of course, tea.
King George and Queen Eliza-
heth wanted to give this party as
return gesture of friendliness for
Americans from whom they were
receiving many honors. They also
wanted to meet as many Ameri-
cans as possible, so a spacious
lawn gathering seemed the best
place. Besides a garden party is
an old English custom.
Elaborate precautions have been
made against gate crashers. Two
sets of invitation cards were is-
sued. and special cards 'for auto-
mobiles.
Most of the guests will sim-
ply wander about the lawn’ or
garden eating and chatting with
friends or trying to see the
King and Queen. But 30 se-
lected high official guests will
sit on the portico with their
majesties and have refresh-
ments.
