By LADY DECIES

uuiversaI Service staff Correspondent.
LONDON, Oct. 10.--There Will DC
great celebrations in Yondon Mt the
end Of next week when the Prince
of Wales returns to Britain after
his long absence. He will drive IN
state from Victoria station to Buck
ineham Palace, and that night be
will be the guest of the city fathers
at n banquet at Guild Hall.
All London will be decorated with
flags. and there will be a special gala
night at the principal hotels. The
popular enthusiasm has been height
ened by the statement which is CIR
c1ilating in semi-official quarters thai
the announcement of the Princes
engagement will be made before many
months have passed, probably just
before Christmas. 1t is declared that
late next summer there will be a
new Princess of Wales.
The delay in announcing the en-,
eagement Of Prince Henry is said
to be due to the desire of the king
and queen to have the marriage OF
the Prince of Wales TAKE place flrst.

Several well known New Workers
are Joining the famous Beaufort
hounds for the hunting season. This
is the pack with which the Prince OF
Wales will do the greater part OF
his hunting. Among these Americans
are Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Butterheld.
and Miss Marie Wharton. daughter OF
New York financier. Mr.. and Mrs.
Butterfield are both fine riders. They
were with the Beaufort pack last
year and were usually in at the kill.
One of the sensations of the annual
motor show which is now being held
at Olympia is the great Rolls Royce
ordered by the fabulously wealthy
Naharajah of Patiala. The car is
replete with every luxury. 1t was
designed to be used in big game hunt
ing in India. 1t has specially
strengthened steel body and is weirdly
camouflaged to blend with the wild
surroundings amidst which it will be
used. At the front are massive fend-
ers to force its way through the
underground.
The springs have been specially
adopted to the rough tracks over which
the car will journey. Concealed in
the back of the body is large water
tank and space for two day's provis-
ions. On each side of the car are
special gun racks from which rifles
may be brought into instant action.
Large exhaust sirens are fitted to
scare away any animals which may
attack the car from the rear. The
steering wheel and controls are ivory
and all the fittings are ivory inlaid.
Ambassador and Mrs. Houghton
again have been weekend guests at
Lady Northcliffe's fine old house in
Sussex. They were not able to in
dulge in a real English Friday to
Monday weekend, owing to the am
bassador's heavy official duties. They
motored down from London Saturday
and returned Sunday night.
Mrs. Houghton has resumed enter
timing at Crewe House and during
the coming weeks will be giving some
what larger parties than usual.
The most Gorgeous and elaborate
evening frocks London has seen in
many years now are making their
appearance in the fashionable ball
rooms. From the extreme simplicity
of the past two or three seasons Lon
don is now going to the other extreme.
You now know a wealthy woman when
you see one.
Diamonds are replacing the modest
pearl as a popular neck ornament and
jewelry fashions generally are follow
ing dresses and becoming more and
more opulent.
Miss Irene Vaughton, pretty Phila-
delphia debutante, wore one of the
most striking frecks at the Berkeley
the other night. 1t was Of the new
serpent green curiously shot with
green and gold tissue and had fringe
of ostrich feathers at the hem and a
single great ostrich feather dropped
at the side of the frock from the
waist to the hem.
