the inner circles when properly vouched
for and are popular. The king, while not
as fond OF our cross-the-water cousins a.
was his august father. stlIl holds many
Americans in high esteem.
It must be confessed that there Is
certain element of ricn Americans who
come to England in the expectation that
their money will buy them social recogni-
ton who act IN a way which not only
makes them impossible. but which tends
20 bring the name American into contempt.
For instance: The King and queen are
said TO be very much annoyed at the
persistent manner IN which all roads lead
ing 20 BalmoraI are overrun daily by
Americans in the hope Of catching
glimpse OF their majesties. The invasion
Of the ancient homes Of Scotland by this
class Of American millionaires is not to the
liking OF their majesues, and several
prominent landowners who figure at court
have received a hint that 1t would be as
we'll IT, instead OF spending their time and
money on the continent at this season Of
the year, they resided on their estates.
King an Early Rider.
King Georges early morning rides in the
Row, which everyone predicts are destined
10 revive the past glores Of Hyde Park,
30 far as the fashionable riding center is
concerned, brings to mind the fact how
many European rulers excel horsemen.
While King Alfonso is the only ruler who
has won laurels as a polo player OF dis
tinction, the crown prince Of Germany can
boast Of being daring stceplechase rider,
as was also the duke Of Clarence.
Tho aged Emperor Of Austria has been
a noted horseman in his day and Is STILL
despite his great age, an intrepid rider
while the German emperor is never quite
so happy as when he is hunting.
King Peter OF Servia, however, forms an
exception to the rule that rulers ride we'll
for. although ne is a graduate of the
famous French military college OF St. Cyr
he is no horseman and never appears at
a greater disadvantage than when he Is
astride a horse.
Hospital for Poor.
or the various suggestions for memorials
10 tho late Miss Florencs Nightingale, one
OF the most sensible is that of Miss GILL
secretary OF the Womens Imperial Health
Association Of Great Britain. Miss Gill pro-
poses hospital for the middle classes who
are unable to pay the ordinary fees
charged at private nursing institutions
This would seem to be In accordance with
Miss Nightingale own work and ideas,
for Il will be remembered that she founded
tho Hospital for Invalid Gentewomen as
long ago as 1850 in Harley street, now re-
moved to new buildings in Lisson Grove.
One OF her last appeals to the press was
for this hospital, for this good work
work after my own heart" There are, of
course, certain hospitals for ladies and
gentlemen, but these are not numerous and
are mostly restricted to certain professions
or to one sex and a big central institution
would FIJI a very real want
HObBIe skirt in London.
Regent street had a spasm of mild ex-
element the other afternoon. A tall lady,
attired in the very latest thing in hobbies,
suddenly appeared opposite the Piceadlly
hotel The lady was fair of countenance.
She was surmounted by a hat OF beehive
design with egret feather pointing to the
zenith, wore sleeves cut off short at the
elbows and carried an effective display of
bunting in the way of dainty flowing
shoulder shawl OF gauzy substance.
But 1t was the hobbe thai finished the
picture This was a band of some five
inch or six-inch width OF rich colorins
that effectively bound the black silk dress
an inch or two below the knees. Several
inches of openwork stocking and a pair
Of high-heeled shoes were delcately visi-
bile. In thirty seconds she was the head
Of an interested and delighted procession.
Away towards oxford Circus she hobbled
and the crowd lined up and let her pass
and then fell in behind or trotted along
admiring the way she did it, Opposite Con
duit street, however she had had enough
and swiftly taking across the road, she
sought cover in a large shop. 1t took three
policemen to guard the entrance.
Fixing Up Marriage.
Though the announcement is not likely
TO be made Just yet, there IS excellent
authority for stating that a marriage has
been arranged between Prince Christopher
OF Greece and Princess Alexandra Of Fife
Prince Christopher is the youngest son OF
King George OF Greece, and is p. while
his bridc-to-be win be 20 in May next
The prince was the guest OF the duke
and duchess Of Fife at Mar lodge for q
few days recently and was later at Bal
moral with the king and queen. Queen
Alexandra has been responsible for this
arrangement. Her affection for her brother
King George has always been very great
and her majestys heart is set upon a
happy union between her young Hellenic
nephew and her pretty Scottish grand
daughter.
