Georges car and used it for his own
purposes until his own returned from
the repair shop.
The eldest and youngest of the
brothers have other tastes in COM
mon besides airplanes and cars, sport
and dancing. Wales used to amuse
himself with ukulele and trap drums,
but George Is what Wales would never
have the patience to be-a good pian-
ist. He is considerable asset at par
ties, especially Of the informal and
impromptu sort which Wales likes
best.
Books, Ballet and Movies.
He likes books, the ballet, pictures,

Club, the smart sporting sets favorite

theater, chats with actresses, dancing
with pretty girls. He takes an in

responsible for the color scheme
dominated by modernistic lines, bright
tones and vivid chintzes-in his
apartment in the palace.
Good-looking. easy-mannered, good
humored. growing out of an early

boy of 20 than a man of 81, he makes
a pleasant impression in public. He
has charm. He reads his speeches
without any particular emphasis and
makes no effort to put over person.
ality-unlike his elder brother, who,
starting with an embarrassed manner
and a halting, nervous delivery. has
developed quite pungent personality
and a decisive and vigorous public
manner and tone.
George is now the only one Of the
brothers who holds no title except the
princely one which is his only be-
cause he is the Kings son. But after
this first empire tour as King EN-
pcror'S representative. it is probable
that he will be handed his reward in
the shape of trio of peerageS-a
dukedom in England. a barony in
Ireland and an earldom in Scotland.
A Prince and Kite.
One day last Summer two small
boys were flying a kite on the Solway
beach in the Scottish lowlands. Un-
able to get 1t started. they appealed
to tall young man garbed In shorts
and a Lacoste shirt, who was passing
Give us a run with this, mister" The
young man obliged. Up went the kite.
Thanks. mister The young man
was Prince Henry, who was spending
part of a fortnight's leave in the
neighborhood The youngsters would
have recognized Wales. the Duke of
York or Prince George. but the visage
Of Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester,
was unknown to them.
He often walks down Bond street
and Piccadilly. or dimes with a small
party in a fashionable restaurant,
without being generally recognized.
That is because he is not so keen on
company and social life as Wales and
George. and does not have to appear
on SO many public occasions as the

even a manservant. But usually he
has couple of favorite dogs with him

hostess called them.
Half year he soldiers Che is the
professional soldier of the royal
family and the other half he hunts.
When Wales is playing golf with a
professional or an equerry, George is
strumming foxtrots to a pretty young
woman in a country house and York
is at home hearing of his youngest
daughters latest escapade. Henry is
probably out alone with his dogs and
a gun under his arm. He likes country
life and the ways Of the squirearchy,
has whole library of books On hunt
ing. travel, sport and war. Art. litera-
ture and music are not in his line. but
he can quote yards Of Masefield S
"Reynard the Fox" and he knows
Surtees' sporting classic of "Soapy
Sponge" by heart. Big game hunting
with Wales. he has penetrated farther
into the jungle and secured the bigger
