QUEEN MARY 'DIS-" APPROVES THEIR WEAR-

A London correspondent writes under date of July 26 as follows-

▸

Now that the first Garden Court of the season is over, the vexed question of what shall be worn on such an auspicious: occasion has been definitely settled. But beforehand there was any amount of doubt and mental and spiritual disturbance. among debutantes and others as to the attire that would be con- sidered "correct" when making a ceremonious afternoon call upon Their Majesties, the King and Queen, in the gardens of Buck. ingham Palace,

To be sure a garden party at the palace is not at all an unusual occurrence, but then there is a special. significance about this season's al fresco functions. As they take the place of the usual formal evening courts, they are naturally very much more important ceremonious occasions. How- ever, that may be, dresses this summer have to be very seriously considered when viewed from the standard set by Queen Mary, who disapproves highly of the tendency of modern fashions.

as

I was told by a well-known woman who received an intimat- ion from the lord chamberlain that Their Majesties will be pleased to receive her at Buck- ingham Palace, that she was given quite a long list of "instruc- tions' as to her dress, and her arrival at and departure from the royal presence. It was pretty clearly pointed out that the term 'afternoon dress, had to be taken within the limits of its description. The costumes of ladies must be Also, they must **adequate."

--

The official suggestions" for feminine afternoon dress do nor' include an exact measurement of the width of skirt desirable, but

it is suggested that dresses of too transparent a tendency will not be viewed with favour by officials of the court."

All this somewhat autocratic state of affairs is, I believe, the result of some of the amazing costumes seen in the royal in closure during Ascot Week. Certainly the Book of Revela- tions is

German Emperor's satement on October 27. 1918 that he had reached an unalterable deter mination to sue for a separate. peare' within twenty-four hours. and to demand an" immediate. armistice is one of the many interesting revelations of German war diplomacy-contained in the White Book, published at Weimar to-day. The book, which contains official documents relat- ing to the negotiations from August 13, 1918, to the signing of the armistice on November 11, is issued by the Government, it is announced in the preface, because the people want to know the truth.

The former Emperor's decision to seek peace immediately, ac- cording to documents in the White Book, he considered necessary be- cause he believed the people both unable and unwilling to continue the war. His conscience was said to forbid him to permit farther bloodshed.

negotiations. As a matter of politeness, Austria was consulted by telephone regarding the prc- posed appeal.

On October 1, Field-Marshal von Hindenburg telegraphed to Vice-Chancellor Friedrich von Payer stating that if Prince Maximillan of Baden- should" form a Government he would agree that the appeal for peace should be delayed until the next. morning,,but he insisted that the peace offer be sent immediately. if there were any doubt about the formation of the Max Govern- ment.

On the same day. General Groener reported that General Ludendorff had declared that

delay would be fatal, that the

new Government formation of a should not be awaited, and that a break in the military line was possible at any minute and then

any peace offer obtained would be. unfavourable. Groener said it was his impression General Luden- dorf, had lost his nerte.com. pletely.

Prince Max immediately in-

quired if Van Hindenburg was unable to hold the front. He received an answer that the army stood by its demand for an im- mediate peace offer.

Prince Max still held that the matter of peace was premature, but other members of the Cabinet

Mr. Reginald McKenna has been elected by the directors of the London Joint City and Mid- and Bank to succeed the late Sir Edward Helden, Bart. as chairman. Sir H. Caseie Holden, Bart, son of the late chairman, has been appointed to a seat on the board, and Messrs. S. B. Murray, F. Hyde, and J. F. Darling, three of the general managers, have been appointed joint managing directors. Mr. McKenna will give his whole time to the services of the bank, and will not, therefore, take aty part in active politics.
