SIR THOMAS AND THE PRINCESS.
The conversation turned to the Alex
,nara Trust, the great enterprise for
selling. good food cheap. of which Sir
Tbnmas is ttls, founder and the Princess
af1IVales president. 1t was onened with
much ecIat eight months ago. upon which
occa sion the Princess and Prince of
Wales took lunch there. Sir Thomas was
asked If the Prind:ss still maintained an
active interest
NOV. he said. rousing up, you've
asked a very important question. I want
everybody who is interested in philanthropy
- i,now that tfs=, Princess is taking a
most active part, and has ever since the
baeinning. Her Royal Highness wrote
tn me soon after the opening, saying that
sna wanted it distinctly understood that
she wasn't to be fgurehead-maybe
yo,, shouldn't say that although that's
the expression she used-and she insisted
on heinz, p1e sident of the undertaking for
every single minute, and has directed it
nersonallv, and made it a point that
every item in connection with it should
be sent to lhsr whenever she was away.
"As far as the enterprise itself is con-
cerned. it is going on favorably. Since
tba onaning in March We've fed 56O,G
r,.onle. You understand, of course, that

Governors next wd5k, and until then

andra will have a large sum of monty
in their hands, and they will know what
to do with it. thinh the Princess Woulo
be glad to see other places built. She
is tremendously Interested in the poor,
especiallv in the way they are fed.
WANTED, AN AMERICAN GIRL.
In tha course of the remarks just quot
ed Sir Thomas rang for the manager OF
th. Alexandra Trust, who entered the
room and pronounced correct the sports
mans figure. as to the number Of people
whom the Alexandra Trust has fed, AS
the manager was about to withdraw Sir
Thomas said, cheerfuly: We'll, 1 see
perks up''
Eyes" laughed the manager, and the
two men exchanged a smile.
Questioned upon the subject of his pork
corner. Sir Thomas spoke frankly, re-
peating, in substance, the explanation
that has already been printed IN America,
with a. few comments to which he re-
ouested. however, that no publicity
should be given.
In closing the interview Sir Thomas
was asked if he had now any great am
bition beyond the oft-discussed lifting
of certain silvar-ware in American hands.
No ne said. mot one. I've got nc
axe to grind. I don't want more money
or more rank. or more anything.
Some Americans think you ought TO
marry an American girl
Hum! lat present I'm somewhat
mora interested in the American Cup.
I'm going over for that Cup. AS the man
said, I've come to saw wood, and = m

OF the masses of business correspondence
that hid the top of the desk at which he
was sitting.
1t was in the course Of an sxtraordi-
nary interview in which the great gro
Gerry knight said a good many notable
things about the international yacht race.
a subject Of much more interest TO him
at present than pork corners or any
thing of that sort. He had been found
in the midst of business in the richly
fitted private office in his big retail head
quarters IN City Road. The Upton desk
is studded, at one side, with a formidable
array OF polished electric buttons, and
above it hangs the portraits of two good
old people-the sachtsnan's father and
another. He says he likes TO have them
there.
Sir Thomas was dressed in a brown
business suit and looked brisk and
hearty. He had just driven in from his
country house at Osidge, and was. he
said. ''off for the North" which means
Scotland, that evening. He was proba-
bly, also desperately anxious 10 have the
interview over, but there was no susGes-
ton of this IN his manner, and he beam

hearted smile that captured New York.
