which had endeared his own father to
the British peoples.

tennis. or riding to hounds.
He swims and has played foot ball
and cricket. skated. tished and proved
himself an oarsman.
His intimates call him "a fine ALL

"a player Of games"

court behind Buckingham Palace.

Q number of golf clubs, including the
Royal and Ancient of st. Andrews,
and among those he defeated in tour-
nament play was his brother Edward.
He has been called "as good rider
to hounds as any one" by an expert
and with . gun he Is ranked among
the dozen best shots in the country.
His match with Tilden occurred
In 1921 when the lanky American
was burning up the courts as America
and English singles champion.
Tlden Afterwards related how the
then Duke Of York sent 3 royal lim-
CUISINE for him, whisked him to Buck
ingham Palace and provided him with
"the most thrilling and amusing in
eident Of my whole tennis career"
The American ace found the quiet
duke "an excellent tennis. player"
Five years later, partnered by his

His brief undergraduate life was
frequently interrupted by the call OF
ofiicial duties for the then Prince OF
Wales was visiting CaEada and the
United States and later Australia and
New Zealand and Albert had to
deputize for him at home.
He had become president of the
Boys Welfare Association, he preached
team spirit to children in founding
home, he visited engineering works
and coal mines and kept his eye open
for ex-service men.
In 1920 he became Duke of York
and q year later founded the Duke
of Yorks camp" in which he brought
together lads from the factories and
an equal number of wealthy young
aristocrats.
The camp developed out Of his
presidency of the Industrial Welfare
Society, whose work he described rs
"cementing that fellowship between
individuals in all walks Of industry
irrespective of class or occupation,
which is the backbone of our imperial
program"
After his marriage to Lady Eliza
beth Bowes-Lyon in 1928 and the con-
quest Of speech impediment the tempo
of his official life increased.

They were drawn in the first round
of the doubles competition against the
veteran pair, A. w. Gore and H. Roper
Barrett.
Gore had been English singles cham
pion in 1901, 1908 and 1909.
Barrett, who became chairman Of
ne English Lawn Tennis Association,
had been doubles champion in 1909
with Gore and in 1912 and 1918 with
c. P. Dixon.
Keen to make the most Of having
q prince Of the ruling house as a
competitor, the management sought
to place the match on the center
court-but the duke remained adamant
that he play on an outside court.
Gore and Barrett won on straight
sets, 6-1, e3, 6-2.
Praeticed Golf Patiently.
Later the duke turned more ex-
clusively to golf and by 1929 he had
practically given up tennis.
As q golfer he practiced patiently
in the back yard Of his London home
and in 1880 he drove himself into the
captaincy Of st. Andrews with ZOO
yard tee shot.
Fox hunting for o time was one OF
his favorite sports. But in 1881 when
he in common with the rest Of the
royal family gave up portion OF his
annual ''pay check" because OF the
depression, he decided to sell his six
hunters.
Shooting took the place Of hunting
in the fieid, and experts quickly de-
clared he was on his way to becoming
one of the finest shots in the country.
They saw he handled his gun like his
father, who himself was q crack shot.
He had O hunting box In North
ampton and frequently shoots over the
royal moors in Scotland and at Sand
ringham in Norfolk.
Occasionally he has been seen as q
skater. Once when Edward was

ice hockey.
AS q judge or spectator he has wit
messed q wide variety of sporting
events, including important cricket,

was in New Zealand he was even made

foreign to Englatd.

to the homes Of friends or to hospitals.
Crossword puzzles were long his
favorite way for passing quiet hour
and under the guidance of his wife
he even took a surn at knitting.
Outdoors, aside from sports, he
has found his main recreation in
gardening-which ranks in England
less as o pastime than q deep study.
In official life he was particularly
attracted by locomotives and it has

and in short order the boys found

Alone or with his wife, the duke
inspected Boy Scout units, opened in
firmaries, spoke to countless industrial
organizations and made . continual
round of factories.
Shows His Democracy.
A typical story, widely published to
show his democracy. involves one Of
his visits to glue factory.
The directors indicated certain
parts of the factory might offend the
dukes sense Of smell.
He quickly vetoed the suggestion to
dodge these parts, the story goes, with
the explanation:
why. people work there. do they
not? Well, what's good enough for
them is good enough for me-"
His activities within the United
Kingdom overshadowed his travels,
but on official or unoficial missions
he sailed around the world and saw
many continental capitals.
His first Imperial" trip was to East
Africa in 1924-25, when he hunted
rhinoceros and smaller game. saw the
natives In their village life and dances
and greeted British ofiicialdom.

"When we first met, he begged
me to love him. If he'd only ask
me again, I'd tell him how very

said anything about liking me or
anything. PUAALEO'

of the chic wardrobe is the furred
suit. Decidedly different is a Per
sian suit of danger red wool
topped by a short tunic coat of
gray krimmer.
Schiaparelli uses burgundy plaid
for a fitted suit in one of her

Very smart in black or gray is

REFUSES DIVORCE

every Unhappy Wife"
It's more than likely that in
some corner of your husbands
mind he knows perfectly he is CIV
ing up something loyal and de-
pendable for something temporary
and not worth while. The mar
ried lady represents a case OF
fascination, and when a man has
been married for fifteen years
and realizes that youth is going,
he reaches out for anything
which promises one more thrill.
Naturally he doesn't want to
break up a comfortable home,
but he's trying to do the mpos-
sible thing of having his cake
and eating it, too.
Many wives put up with this
situation. If you decide to &C
cept it, you will not accomplish
anything by nagging him about
going out with a married woman
or watching his telephone calls.
You've either got to swallow it or
take legal measures. That, my
dear, is wholly up to you. Safe
to say, if you divorce him he will
be the sufferer.

IT'S true that we've shown lots
i of rain coats and rain capes the
past month or so-but there are
still people who need one, we be-
lieve, and we've found the best
yet. Here it is, pictured above.
It is a coat with a cape top. That
makes it easier to wear over
dresses or coats that have sleeves
wide at the top, as you just put
your arms through the vide arm
holes and are protected from the
rain by the generous cape. It
keeps your dresses from being
crushed by sleeves and it's also
lots cooler, as you can get a more
free circulation of air under the
coat part. These capes are of oil
silk and come neatly done up in
a matching envelope, which makes
it easy to carry them in your suit
case. They are in lovely bright
colorS to chase away the gloom
green, brown, red, blue, crystal or
black. In medium and large sizes,
envelope and all, they are 1895.
