been included, and also some of his smartest
uniforms. These win be worn on strictly for
NAL occasions only.
THE sarto,ial sensations which the prince
provided during his trip from his
unofficial clothes.
In this direction he is a distinct style revo-
1utionary, but in none more so than his golfng
suits His favorite golfing suit of the moment
is in one of the most vivid checks one could
MISUNDERSTANDING diamond black and white
squares-with which he wears all-envelop-
ing large cap and stockings to match. This
is only one of many thrilling" golf suits the
prince is carrying With the black and white
one, well as others, the royal player of the
royal and ancient" game has vivid pink shirts
and collars and large and loud" pattern ties.
He also favors highly colored and patterned
stockings for golf wear and almost equally
bright socks for ordinary wear.
Another revolutionary mode of the Prince of
Wales, by the way, is that of wearing brogue
shoes with his lounge suits.
With his golhng wear and often in his off,
duty hours when in lounge suits the prince
wears pull-overs of rich wool in the brightest
of colors and most startling bizarre patterns.
His lounge suits, by the way, very varied
-grayS, browns, blues and pin stripes all ap-
pear among them. Mostly he adopts the
double breasted coat shaped to the waist. And
always in lounge suits permanent turn-up hens
to the trousers
But to his golfing clothes again, for they
always arouse most interest wherever he goes.
The Prince of Wales once declared, and with
quite amount Of seriousness, that he first
took to golf because it gave him the chance
to enjoy the freedom Of plus-fours, cap and
soft collar.
Not always, by any means does he adopt
the pink soft shirt and collar. He will ap-
pear on occasions, especially on very bright
sunny days, in a vivid blue shirt and collar
with which he wears a salmon pink sleeve
less jumper in "futuristic" design and magpie
shoes. And caps for golf are always large,
both as to size and pattern.
The princes love of his play clothes is
shown in another and very practical way also.
Always he seems to be devising bright clothes
notions. While they undoubtedly gay,
these royal golf suits are also extremely prac-
tical and many of the ideas suggested by him
have been copied widely. His great idea is
for comfort and utility. So invariably he has
the golf jacket cut with large expanding pleatS
in the back to allow the fullest freedom for
his swing.
A RICHIE COMPSON, the famous golf pro
who has often coached the prince, win
tell you that this royal player has one big
fault. 1t is that he will persist in trying to
do the work of hitting the ball himself instead
of leaving it to the club. To get good results
from this style of play the prince must have
plenty Of room in his clothes.
Also he demands capacious pockets in his
golf clothes SO that he carry favorite briar
pipes plenty of tobacco, cigarettes and other
whatnots without which his time on the links
would not only be incomplete, but also cause
him to lose so per cent of its enjoyment.
There is goling suit which the prince
made suddenly blossom out in which will OUT
rival all his others 1t is a bright yellow
canary-colored cloth and many-coored knit
ted jersey.
One other Prince of Wales fashion note to
conclude. Never will you see him wearing
jewelry except on ceremonial occasions when
jeweled orders are compulsory. His cuff links
are invariably mother-of-pearl and gold, and
quite plain. And when he wears a wrist
watch he uses thick plain leather strap
