THREE KINGS DANCE
By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.
BALL HELD AT PALACE CHANGES IN CUSTOMS
London, Nov. 17. Three kings danced to a jazz band tonight at Buckingham Palace, where their Majesties honoured King Leopold of Belgium with a Court ball. King George of Greece was among the 1000 guests. For the first time in the history of court ceremonial a jazz band was used instead of military bands and for the first time the King allowed men to wear evening dress instead of bniforms. The drab black was set off more strongly by the brilliant jewels and dresses worn by the many princesses and grand duchesses present. Their Majesties danced fox trots, but numerous old waltzes were included.
