BAD MANNERS AT PALACE GARDEN PARTY
One regrettable point at the King and Queen's first garden party at Buokinghara Palace was the way In which rows and rows of people grabhed chairs and stood tipon tbem wbile tbe King and Queen were having their tea. Such a- scene has nerer befofe been witnessed, but It must be puff doWn to the excit^n|ent oi people from many distant countries to see as muoh as possible Of their Royal BAstfc. Thbre was atiotlier uiiheaftj of breach of etiquette— the unwritten rule of "no smoking" being' quite pften disregarded by men as weU ag by women ► Ono severe commentator in » London daily paper remarked: "The man--nerg of tbe guesta were littl©' better than their clothes/' and he refers to the pressure of tbe orowds in malting the tusk of the Gentlemen-in-W aiting a very heavy one, afe for minqtes on end it was impossible for the King and Queen to move.
