Rude Sheep

Ten thousand guests stood about on the lawn of Buckingham Palace last week at Their Majesties' last Garden Party of the Coronation season. Most candid reporter of these parties was the Toronto Daily Star's M. H. Halton. Excerpt from Halton:

"I got a shock when I entered the gardens of Buckingham Palace and saw the elite of the British Empire rushing back and forth across the grass like a herd of sheep so as to get close to members of the royal family. I was really astonished. 'She's going over there,' someone would say--and the mob would break and scramble over there. 'Queen Mary's coming this way'--and again they would break and run over this way. More than once the gentlemen-in-waiting had to link hands to keep the Queen and her two little daughters from being crushed or jostled."
