BUCKINGHAM PALACE
# SCENE OF BRILLIANT
SOCIAL GATHERING
LONDON, June 27 (Correspondence
of Associated Press).—English society
took its tea this afternoon on the lawn
at Buckingham palace, the guest of
King George and Queen Mary. It was
a simple affair, their majesties mov
ing about among their friends, stop
ping now and then to greet this one
or shake hands with that one while
on their way from the palace to the
pavilion, where they, too, had tea.
The scene was brilliant. The weather
did very well, for while it was cloudy,
there was no rain. Scores upon scores
of gaily-dressed women walked and
chatted with distinguished generals
and admirals in full regimentals, or
went over the political situation with
statesmen, of whom there were a great
many there from every party.
The king and queen came out from
the palace at 4 o’clock, and the near
est band played the national anthem.
The whole of the great company stood
0 still, and then began to flow with one
accord toward their majesties. From
that time, for two hours, the “garden
party” was just what it was intended
to be.
The queen was dressed in a strik
ing robe of sapphire-brocaded silk,
and the Princess Mary, who followed
her mother, wore pink and white satin.
The king had discarded his familiar
field marshal’s uniform and appeared
in the high hat and frock coat of other
peace days. He was in good humor,
and spent most of his time talking to
the soldiers and sailors who sought
him out. The queen paid particular
attention to the “new and the young,”
as one who was there put it, but did
not forget her old friends.
The socially ambitious were not
presented in person to their majes
ties—the mere fact of their presence
being taken as proof positive that they
had entered the coveted realm. Also
it gave the king and queen more time
to enjoy themselves, since it did away
with a trying, if spectacular, cere
mony.

STRAWBERRY GROWERS
REAP BENEFITS FROM
EFFECTS OF DRY LAWS
PHILADELPHIA, July 20 (Corre
spondence of Associated Press).—Pro
hibition indirectly produced an extraor
dinary condition in the strawberry
market this year.
Prices went higher than ever before
because a Chicago packing house
opened what was said to be the largest
fruit-preserving plant in the world in
the heart of the strawberry district
of Delaware and the eastern shore of
Maryland and bought the product of
great berry-producing fields virtually
without regard to cost to meet the tre
mendous demand for ice cream and
soft drinks produced by the “dry” pe
riod.
Strawberries that normally sold for
i from 5 cents to 10 cents a quart were
{ snapped up at from 30 cents to 37
\ cents. The price to the consumer
bever went below 30 cents this sea
son. Strawberry syrup for flavoring
soda water formerly sold at 656 cents
a gallon, and is now quoted at $3.50 a
gallon.
Farmers are elated. Many of them
made an average of $1,000 an acre on
their strawberry crop, and they are
looking forward to big profits next
year.
The packers, when the strawberry
season was over, sent their employes
to other work and closed the factory.
Shoe repairing. No other job on
