IN ENGLISH SOCIAL LIFE.
As a social factor In England the Prince
has always been supreme Ward McAllister
called him "the great social dictator" 1t
was largely through his influence that
many Amerfcans-a nation that he has
always liked-have received their entree into
the inner circles of the British aristccracy.
Nevertheless. the social and fashionable
side OF his life has been more of duty
than a pleasure to him He has always
been most content when surrounded by a
circle Of his old friends ct his palace, In
Buckingham, a small village in the Coun-
ty Of Norfolk There he has lived the life
Of an English country gentleman.
The affection and esteem In which the
Prince has been held was never better ex-
emplIfed than in December. ISL. when he
was attacked by typhoid fever and for some
weeks hung between life and death.
The anxiety OF the public was intense
and the news OF his recovery was erected
with. great JOY. On his first appearance in
public to take part In the memorable
Thanksgiving service IN St. Paurs
