Recently the King had a dozen shirts
made at a London shirtmaker's in a
fashionable part of London. Until this
time he has employed his own private
shirtmaker, but was recommended to
try this shirt builder by the duke OF
Marlborough, with whom he chuns a
great deal despite the disparity in their
ages.
The shirtmaker obtained permission
to build the shirts in his own way.
When they came home they were made
of pale linen, white with tiny violet
checks, and with pink checks and pale
blue ones. The collars matched. In
stead of being white they were family
colored in the same tiny checks as
the shirt They were attached to the
shirts-no buttoning on and the cuffs
also were attached.
One feature was very noticeable. Upon
the left arm there was a large mono
gram as big as a butter plate, with the
royal crest above it, all worked in col
ors- The shirts were called outing
shirts or sporting shirts, The mono
gram will show IN the summer time

nlay a game OF billiards. They are To

tennis and for sports where a man can

There were three men in the band,

The shabby appearance of the king
Of d great country at Il recent gathering
of royalty in the south of France was
commented upon by all the newspapers.
King Edward was not the shabby king

TO show a disregard for dress. He is u

inventing something new. He Invented
the link cuff button nearly forty years
ago.
The king has many fads in dress and
one of his most recent ones is that Of

This year the King demands a high

shine and the fact that the King wears
brilliantly polished shoes mas given a
new zest TO the sale of patent leather
and bright enamel shoes. His majesty
has his shoes polished many times q
day, patiently sitting through the pro-
cess like any ordinary gentleman.
The King has taken to the wearing OF

He does not give mis- cast-offs to his

A valet looking like the King. and OF
the same size and figure, might walk
out of the palace grounds claiming the
bows of the people who would recognize
the clothes and suppose it to be the
King.
The king is very particular as to the
quality of his linen and for a long time
had all his linen sent from India. But
of late wears he has taken to the wear

grade which has grown soft 10 the
