ing into danger again on his next
visit to the field.
No matter how busy and active in
a physical way his days have been, the
prince has always been willing and
anxious to dance when night came.
Less energetic men. having done as
much as he during the day. would be
! too weary for any exercise greater
than going to bed. But going to bed
seems to be something the prince puts
off as long as he can. If there is
anything that at all interests him
as an alternative. He is not the most
graceful dancer one could meet. but
it would be difficult to find one more
courtly or enthusiastic He never
seems to tire of the exercise. Once,
while in Canada, during hot spell,
he retired three times during a dance
to replace collars that had wilted.
The Prince of Wales. without doubt.
has been photographed more times
and in a greater variety of circum-
stances than any man who ever lived.
Almost everything that he does in his
daily life, except taking a bath, has
been recorded on the films or plate
OF the camera. As a baby he was
photographed asleep and as a man,
while on an outdoor camp. he has
even been photographed washing his
face. Every move that he makes, al
most, the camera records.
What, people ask sometimes. is his
attitude toward cameranien? That
they are occasionally a pest to him is
obvious, but he seldom shows it.
Sometimes his equerries are plainly
incensed, and often try to Amake
photograph hounds restrain their
never-satisfied impulses, but the Prince
has never once been known to speak
harshly or act rudely to those whose
attentions he finds. at times. annoy
ing, though he has spoken vigorously
about them.
Almost always he is kind and con-
siderate of them. He appreciates the
tremendous public interest in his do
ings, and, if that slips his mind. he is
likely to remark that the photograph
ers have to make their living"
One day he appeared in public with
blackened eye and swollen face as
the result of an accident at racquets,
and. of course, the inescapable CAM
eramen were after him. Smiling, he
pointed to his face and said. Not to-
day. if you don't mind: cut it out" !"
The photographers acceded to his
wishes.
Is Practical Farmer.
The Prince is practical farmer and
a successful breeder of pedigreed cat
tie. One of his cherished possessions
is his ranch in Canada.
He does not pose as an expert, but
he knows more about these things
than most people would give him credit
for, and it is no. as the mere nominal
owner of prize stock that he has car
ried off many prizes on both sides Of
the Atlantic.
His interest in domestic animals Of
varied species, from dogs to horses, is,
like that of most British aristocrats,
intense, kindly and continuous.
King George long was successful
breeder Of prize cattle and pigs. so
that it was not surprising when the
prince, his war days over and his
boyhood behind him, also entered
enthusiastically into his pleasurable
business or business pleasure. He was
already the owner of great tracts Of
farm land, as it was from the Duchy
OF Cornwall-the prince being the
hereditary duke-that he obtained
the bulk Of his income.
In 1919, when he first visited Can
ada, the prince acquired ranch near
the foothills Of the Rocky Mountains.
which he has since visited, and to
which he frequently has shipped
blooded stock from the pastures OF
the motherland.
One Of the many incidental tasks
that his position has forced upon the
Prince of Wales has been that OF
setting the styles for what the we'll
dressed men will wear. Not the we'll
dressed men Of all the world, but
surely of all Anglo-Saxon or English
speaking peoples.
The aristocracy and the wealthy OF
the continent, to some antent wear
