Sweden 's King Carl XVI arrives in the city today By RUTH SELTZER lm, a JP "-f h-fH wmawiiiftiiaiiMmiiWMiirititniiiitiiiiiiiii- mimtir 1 Associated Press cation of the new Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. We remember meeting King Carl XVI Gustaf's sisters, Birgitta and Desiree, when they were in Philadelphia at the Barclay. And we once cruised down the Delaware on a private yacht with the Princess Christina the youngest of the King's four sisters. His eldest sister, Margare-tha, visited Philadelphia, too. But we did not meet her personally.

However, we did meet HRH Prince the present King's uncle, when he came to Philadelphia several years ago to be the honor guest at a dinner of the Swedish Colonial Society at the Union League. Alan Corson was then the governor of the society. Swedish occasion King Carl's grandparents, the late King Gustaf VI Adolf and Queen Louise, were in Philadelphia for the Sesquicentennial in 1926. However, they were not then the King and Queen. They were the Crown Prince and Princess of Sweden.

Yes, it was a full half-century ago that the Crown Prince laid the cornerstone of the American Swedish Historical Museum. In 1938, the Crown Prince and Princess returned to the Delaware Valley to take part in the tercentenary of the arrival of the first Swedes in America. At that time, they visited the museum, which is at 1900 Patti-son Ave. There were special celebrations. Today, young King Carl will tour the American Swedish Historical Museum.

His motto: "For Sweden in Keeping With the Times." Very, very few reigning kings and queens have visited Philadelphia. We remember three. On April 18, 1962, the Shah of Iran His Imperial Majesty Reza Shah Pahlevi came to Philadelphia to receive an honorary doctor of laws degree from the University of Pennsylvania. After a special convocation in Irvine Auditor-rium, the Shah was given a luncheon in the University Museum. Dr.

Two years earlier, on May 21, 1960, the King and Queen of Nepal King Mahendra and Queen Ratna flew to the Quaker City for the official opening of the Nepalese Gallery at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Jean Gordon Lee, then and now the museum's curator of Far Eastern Art, greeted them. We remember meeting them at a high tea in the Far Eastern Wing of the museum.

Bonnie (Mrs. John) Wmtersteen was then chairman of the museum's board of governors. She sat next to Queen Ratna. The museum's president then was the late R. Sturgis Ingersoll.

And the museum's director was the late Henri Marceau. On April 13, 1964, King Hussein of Jordan was in Philadelphia. He had a suite in the Bellevue Stratford. Hussein came here before going to Washington. Sesquicentennial visitor The late Queen Marie of Rumania visited Philadelphia during the Sesquicentennial.

She was greeted by tens of thousands of persons when she came here on Oct. 21, 1926. Over the years, the Sovereign Prince of Monaco Prince Rainier III has visited Philadelphia often each time to see his wife's family. The first time we met Prince Rainier was the day his engagement was announced by movie actress Grace Kelly's parents, Mrs. John B.

Kelly and the late Mr. Kelly, at their home on Henry Avenue in East Falls. During Philadelphia's Centennial Exposition of 1876, the Emperor of Brazil Dom Pedro came here. He opened that major World's Fair in Fairmount Park with President Ulysses S. Grant.

HRH Prince Oscar of Sweden also visited the 1876 Centennial. Later, he became King Oscar II. However, he wasn't a reigning sovereign when he traveled to Philadelphia. When England's Queen Elizabeth II arrives in Philadelphia aboard the royal yacht Brittania on July 6, she will be the first reigning British monarch in history to set foot on Quaker City soil.

"I'm going to be working at a resort this summer in Lake Placid (N. said Jane Rethwisch, 19, an American Studies major at Barnard who was leafing through a notebook crammed with drink recipes, "and bartending is a good skill to have." Margaret Stahl, a Barnard senior who helped organize the course and manages the Barnard bartending service, agreed. "I took this course my freshman year and it enabled me to work my way through college tending bar at private parties," she said.

"It's mi.id-less work, but you can earn good pay and meet some fascinating people. And it's much more fun than sitting in some office and tvpinp, letters." She went on to say that the Barnard agency, which consists of seven women who have taken the bartending course, is hired at the rate of $6 per hour per bartender for such functions as weddings, bar mitzvahs, class reunions and holiday office parties. Some $20 tips The usual tip, Miss Stahl added, is $5, but often there's a host usually had quite a who hands out $20 to each of the college bar-' maids. "You'd be amazed at how limited people's knowledge of drinks is," said Miss Stahl, who estimates that she has tended bar at almost 100 parties. "Gin and tonic and scotch and soda are still the most popular drinks.

You rarely get asked to mix any of the fancy ones like brandy alexanders." Why has the bartending course become such a hit with students who re members of the generation that gets stoned on grass instead of getting smashed on liquor? "There's been a big swing back to booze now that grass has gotten so expensive," explained Miss Stahl. "In fact, the local college hand-outs have special 'Tequilla Nights' 6 o'clock cocktail parties." By 9:30 p.m., most of the students had finished mixing their favorite alcoholic refreshment and were lounging in their chairs, drink in hand, as Mr. Harman came by to present each one with his diploma. "I'm going to laminate my diploma, hang it on the wall, and leave a space next to it for my Ph.D," said a smiling Miss Schaffer as she watched a classmate demonstrate his skill at mixing a tequila sunrise..
