ONION, Eng, Nov. S--Society is
congratulating itself over the an
IL nouncement which is from Offie-
iaI sources that the prince and princess
Arthur Of COnnaught intend to play
conspicuous part in the social life OF
the capital during the coming season
Prince Arthur has always been
favOrite in society and in turn has been
fond of society. but for the duchess OF 3
Fife, she retains this title, this VIII
be a new experience, she led an al
most cIoistered existence, the prin-
cess royal following the footsteps OF
her grandmother in the strict bringing
up OF her daughter
Opposes Everything Risque.
The young princess is looking 1or-
ward to her entering into society as
a hostess with keen pleasure, 1 under
stand the establishment in Mount
street promises to be one OF the most
eagerly sought social ceuIers in Lon
don The advanced set who affect the
tango and other extremes IN dancing
and dress will get scant consideration
from her royal hIghueSS who while not
so strict in her ideas perhaps as queen .
Mary, still has small patience with any
thing risQue.
The impression is general that primes
Arthur will succeed his father th6
duke Of COnnaught, as governor gen
eral of Canada, when his term expires
If this is so, the Canadians viii have

England Has Marriage Epidemic.
The records show that marriage and
giving in marriage have been very
active in England during the past few
weeks This is due UnQuestiOnably to
the recent royal wedding
It is a curious fact, but one that has
been noted upon several occasions IN
the past, that a royal wedding occas-
siOns great activity in the matrimonial
market 1t was the same when the
present king and queen married when
a well know official IN charge Of the
registers at Somerset House assured
me that he had never known so many
weddings sOlemniZed upon one day in
the whole Of his experience OF course
the fact that this day was proclaimed
a bank holiday in London had some
thing to do with this, since much Of
the same was noted at the time Of the
coronation Of their present -majesties.
Society Takes to Flying.
Society seems to be going in for
living with a vengeauce or course
lord GlasgOW'S son. Alan Boyle, was
one of the first aViatOrs in this country
so was lord IlangattOck's son. the
late Charles Rolls But only recently
have the people in ''Debrett'' been tax

Lord Carbery learned TO fly in France
couple of months ago, the late duke
of Westminster son, lord Edward

tOl BrOOklanGs school recently, and the

Leighton is still learning at the era

lord GlasgOw's sons, John Boyle. has
been an officer OF the Royal Flying
corps for a considerable time.
Discuss How Little to Wear.
There are difficulties arising In con-
nectiOn with the proposed Picture ball
to be held at the Albert hall early in
December. The organizer probably
did not quite realize the scope for
undressing that would be seized uD-
on by certain women with a fOndneSs
of showing a good deal Of the human
form divine Restrictions are being dis
cussed in private, rather acrimonious
~ Should, however, the queen decide
to. attend the ball all will be WE'LL
Last time queen Mary only arranged to
be present at the bal mask a few days
previous to the eventfuI night, several
women spent anxious hours before they
could arrange for modification OF the
dresses they had originally arranged
to wear
Princess Has Holiday Ineos1Ito.
The kings sister princess Victoria.
has recently been spending an incOg-I
nitO holiday at a quiet place near Mar
gate She was known in the hotel
where she and her party lived simply
as Miss johnson" and her Identity
was not generally discovered by other
holiday makers 1t is not the first
time that princess Victoria has fav-l
ored the bracing air OF the Kentish
cess Victoria is a keen amateur photog-
rapher, and she was often to be seen
about with her camera.
At Oxford they used to call the
prince OF Wales the ''Pragger wager
Now they know him as prince Peter
Pan, a blunt allusion to his leisureli-
ness in growing up free Of the shack
les of parental control.
Learn American Slang.
There is generally some accent which
IS more or less mOdish and the Amer
lean slang OF all things in the world,
is the style of the moment The grow
ing number Of American peeresses is
partly responsible probably for the
new fashion which has been largely
populariZed by lady Diana Manners
who believes in being a minute or twOf
ahead Of every body else. Mrs. AsQuith
is quite an adept in American SLAMS
as are also the earl Of ROsslyn and the
duchess Of Westminster.
