The Washington Basle Telegram notes Mrs Hicks, famed American socialite, arrived in London and occupied premier rooms at Clarridge Hotel. When the Queen of the Netherlands needed them, a diplomatic adjustment let the Queen stay as Mrs Hicks’s guest. Mrs Hicks then hosted court events and drew attention from the nobility, with potential press scrutiny and gossip in high society.
A wife and a young guest alarmed by an open front door at a Union Park area home led to a chaotic search. Servants and neighbors joined, a mistaken burial scare ensued, and the horse was left loose, returning to the house in a dilapidated state as firemen and police observed. The husband, unaware of the alarm, paused at the door as events unfolded.
