THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, JUNE 12, 1920 11 i 4 r MUCH SPLENDOR CMF OLDEN DAYS I VOID AT COURT Buckingham Palace Reception This Week Toned Down Pre War Pomp Ruled on Style of Dress. London, June 10. Minus much of Its prewar splendor of gold lace and fancy buckles, a court was held by the king and queen at Buckingham palace Thursday night. Although to the eye of the prewar courtier the function appeared sober and low-toned, to most it was a wel come reversion to the days of court brilliancy. Scores of debutantes awaited the vent in breathless expectancy and with calm confidence that news papers would list presentations, while the picture papers would, somehow, manage to publish snapshots or care fully posed portraits of those promi nent enough to warrant attention. Hundreds of those young girls en tered the social world during the war, when courts were discontinued", and during last season, when there were only royal garden parties and no official gazette of publicity, were a bit envious of their younger sis ter uests 'came censored by roy alty." For both the kiug and queen took an active hand in remodeling the traditional rules and tregulations regarding apparel at court functions. Queen Was Economical. Tke queen, with an eye to econ omy and to modesty in dress in these days of extreme backlessness and scantiness' of attire, several weeks ago approved three dresses as models for girls, young matrons aad more elderly ladies to copy. The queenly suggestions regarding mod est Vs and as regards the general line of the court "gown were fol lowed. But the royal ambition to set an example of economy was hard ly realized. j The king's rule of dressproced ure were more difficult to evade. Where the feminine social world had suggestive guidance merely, through three model dresses, the masculine world received a detailed schedule of nearly 300 words, drawn with the exactness of the "King's Regula tions" which control the attire of the officers of his majesty army. Excerpts from it follow; Gave Considerable Class.. "First and second-class uniform: The wearing of the full dress coat is optional. The levee coat may be substituted for if." "Third, fourth and fifth-class uni forms: To be one pattern for all three classes, but with distinctive embroidery on the collar to mark the three classes. (Patterns may be seen at St. James palace.) "All persons ni possession of civil uniforms made in accordance ' with the existing regulations may con tinue to wear them as heretofore. n lieu of either civil uniform or court dress, alternative dress may be worn by gentlemerr. "An ordinary evening dress cuat. Black or white evening waistcoat. Breeches. Plain black evening dress material of stockinet, with three small black cloth or silk buttons, and small jet or black buckles at the knee. Black silk hose. Plain court shoes with bows no bockles."
