THE PRESENT REIGN
PARTIES AT THE PALACE The afternoon parties at Buckingham Palace, inaugurated in the present reign and so well adapted to the changing social conditions of our time, have been such a success that they are to be continued this season. A pleasant informality pervades these gatherings, and one point about them has had' an effect reaching to smaller suburbia—the Queen’s pleasant way of appearing without a hat. This custom gave slight- shocks to many ladies who deliberately put on hats for luncheon parties in their own houses, and has been widely taken as a precedent.
