A SOCIAL TRIUMPH

"HOT-DOGS" AT PICNIC

RELAXATION BESIDE THE

HUDSON

NEW YORK, June 11

After their Majesties had attended' the church service in Hyde Park, the plebeian but succulent "hot-dog" later this afternoon enjoyed its greatest social triumph. Their Majesties ate one apiece—slathered with mustard j and served on a hot roll—and said that j they liked it "very much." It was a triumph for both, the "hot-dog" and j Mrs. Roosevelt, who had had a mildi feud with the President's mother re- \ garding whether such a "vulgar" dish] should be served.

Beneath a blazing sun, moderated by a refreshing breeze from the shimmering Hudson River, a picnic was held on the lawn of the Roosevelt estate with 140 guests. It was arranged that their Majesties, after the picnic, should have five hours to do as they pleased, following which they would depart just before midnight by train for Halifax. (Nova Scotia) and the voyage homeward.

Besides the frankfurters, soda, iced tea and beer, ham and turkey, salads, baked beans on bread, doughnuts, and cookies were served at the picnic.

The Queen wore a chablis print frock with a grey background, a grey straw hat with a high crown 'and small brim, and shoes and stockings in a grey tone. Her flower was a single gardenia.

The King had ,an informal swim with Mr. Roosevelt in the White House pool during the day.
