 She recognizes their economical as pects. She knows that, considered from an untraditional and an un- biased point of view, they are more modest than the dresses she has been wearing.

1T is anticipated certain neces-

WALES IS URGED
TOSTOP HARD
RIDING
British Fear Heir to Throne
Will Lose His Life in OAR
ing Steeplechasing.
By DAVID NJ. CHURCH,
international News Service.

LONDON, April 21.-England's
premier gentleman jockey is being
seriously urged to give up riding.
David, Prince of Wales, is the
premier gentleman jockey of Eng
land, and, moreover, he is one of
the most daring riders in the land
and therein lies the secret of the
effort to persuade him to give up
racing.
The prince has had an active
season, one full of spills, and the
PEOPLE of the nation are becoming
worried lest one fine day they
will lose their future king because
of the fall Of a horse.
Pressure Exerted.
1t is whispered that in the royal
family circle there has been great
pressure brought to bear to con-
vince the prince that he has a
responsibility to bear which is
entirely incompatible with the
sport of steeplechase racing, with
its long and hazardous jumps.
During the past racing season
the prince has had nearly a dozen
falls, none of which have been
really serious, although on more
than one occasion he has been
forced to restrict his activities as
the result of his falls.
For several weeks after one fall
the prince hobbled about on
crutches His latest exploit follow
ed fall in a water ditch, and the
prince risked his own life by plung-
ing into the water in an effort
to save his horse, which was
floundering about in the water.
Fear His Daring Rides.
The English people respect the
sportsmanship of the prince and
regard him as a daring and courage
Gus jockey, but they feel that per-
haps it would be better If he did not
take the hazardous risks of riding
over some OF the most difficult
courses in England.
When the next racing season
comes, If pressure prevails. the
prince will not be as active among
the gentlemen jockeys, but viii
confine most of his riding to hunts.
The question remains, however,
whether the prince is going to be
amenable to pressure. He is very
keen about racing and counts it as
one of his greatest sports. The
odds are ten to one that 1T will
take great weight to keep his coll
ors off the steeplechase courses,
even though his closest advisers
are against his riding.
