LONDON. Dcc- 10-—0n every side tonight there were indications that a mos-t sincere welcome from the populace of the {fluted King. qom is alvalting the Duke and Duchess of York n5 K1,,“ and Queen

Naturally they are not so well known to the Empire at large or iven within these isles as King Edward VIII but oi their genuine good-Will to all and anxiety to serve the community there has been abundant proof.

Il is too early to say yet whether they will be able to undertake the Empire tour already provisionally planned for King Eda/any The Dukc has often expressed a (lea-ire to visit Canada, with which n15 acqllfiilltilflCﬁ is very slight. Ill i913, as a cadet in the Royal Navy, he visited Halifax. He also made a visit to Niagara, Fails, Ont, pass- [pg through Toronto en route.

The Duke does not enjoy such robust health as his cider brother, although his physical disabilities seem to have been largely overcome or recent years.

i "THE LITTLE DUCHESS"

It is no conventional statement to say that tho Duchess of York -"'I‘he Little Duchess." as she is often callecl~—has a charm almost

uliar to herself. It was recalled how at the launching or the median Pacific liner bearing llcr name and christened by her she walked alongside the sllpway, nodding and smiling all the way to the somewhat dour crowds of Clyclcside shipworkers.

The Duke, too, has an easy way in public, particularly as he has now almost. completely overcome a tendency to starnnicr which once was a serious handicap in making speeches.

I-fc is not afraid, either. of hulking sly jckcs about those around tiim. One of these, an allusion to the famoin. I...=li nationalist, "Tay Pay" ,0'Connor, in an aftcr-cilnncr speech, “as greeted with loud

u liter. h g".\ir. O'Connor," said the Dukc, "is devoted to Ireland. In fact, he will do anything for Ircfand except ilve in it."

It was only last Dec. 2 that the Duke and Duchess paid a mem- nrlal visit to Edinburgh. The Duchess received the freedom of the Scottish capital and tlic Dlike participated in high Masonicccrc- monks: for their children. Princess Eiirabclh and Princess ltlargarct Rose, their photographs hang in thousands of nurseries rill over the Empire.

With such a happy family" circles established shortly at Buck- ingham Palace, feeling tonight Wfls that tllc throne would assume

in even zlddcd lustre. VISIT T0 CANADA

The Duke of York visited Canada only once but the citrcum- slailccs of the visit must have left a lasting impression on his Royal Highness.

To willd up his service as a ctidct in tlic Royal Navy lie was sent iii i913 on a six-month cruise that took lllin to Canada, the wcu Iudlcs and Newfoundland, Bfsidcs ill.‘ scanianshiti he ac- t‘: 'l ozi that voyage hc learned n salutary lr. mu in noblessc oblilﬂ- ' ll. had to do with tennis. All through the voyage, all every op-

‘ * to get ashore. the royal midshipman tack his racqucts :1 got in a few sets. At Halifax tlicrc was an official recep- l for officers of the ilcci. Everyone cxpcctcd thc royal prince to ct- pYP-iPni. but hc “ducked it" and played tennis instead.

According to tlic story told about tlic incident. word of his ac- tion went back to Buckingham Palace and there come a sizzling cable from King George that was as blunt as any ircful father ever tent to a plundering son. If Albcrt evcr acain broke an official en- gagement for tennis, the fact escaped plibllc notice.

The Dukc afterwards remarked lic iintl visited Halifax under ‘die somewhat fcttercd conditions of the service discipline of a tiavzll cadet."

Iii rcccnt years the Dukc attended more than one of the ban- quets held in London on Dominion Day and in i922 he presided over the Canada Club dinner to the late'I>ioll. Pcter Lrirkin when Mr. Larklu went to London as Canadian high commissioner.

HIS SENSE 0F HUMOR

The Duke could show a lively sense of humor in after-dinner Ipcnkiiig, especially when he replied to compliments directed to him- self. Speaking at the Industrial Welfare Society's dinner, when the Illlt‘ Lord Mclchett proposed his health, the Duke said: “Liord Mel- thctt has said’ some nice things about inc-so nice that I do not be- lieve he was really talking about inc at all. He reminds inc of a. sad~ 11°15’ I heard of a. woman at llcr husbands funeral. She had been unhappy with him, and his death was not altogether a matter of re- BT91. The parson was painting ihc virtues of the dead man in such illviiing colors that the woman. looking round nervously, whispered to her daughter: ‘Milly, is tlicrc anotlu r corpse?‘ "

The Dukc also once ventured in aftcr-diunci- speaking lo make 5 51V "i112" at the famous Irishman. the late '1‘. P. O'Connor. After enumerating some of Tay Pays qualities. tlic Dukc latigliingiy added: "In fact Mr. O'Connor loves Irclantl so much that he will do any- ihmz foi‘ it but live in it."

In a way the date of Prince Albert/s birth on Dec. l4, 1895, was unfortunate, for it was the anniversary of tlic death of Queen Vie- toriirs husband. Albert, Prince Consort. The aged Sovereign was Prone to become rather morbid over such coincidences. and was not a littlc distressed that the new Prince should arrive on a day of such mournful memory.

Nevertheless, hcr Majesty was consoled when thc pal-cuts cvcn- “any ﬂgrccd that the infant's name should be Albert. York Cot- iﬂsc. Siuidringham. his birthplacc, had only a short time previously m“ ﬂs-ﬂilhed to the then Dukc and Duchcss of York as u sccond‘

me. In London they resided at York Ilousc, St. Ji\lIl€‘$'.\‘ Palace. which was to become so ivcll-lciiown as the quarters of tlic futlirc PrincenfWalcs. later Edward VlII.

Prince Albert, as a child, spent much of his liillf‘ with his cldcl" iothcr in the Norfolk home of his pzzrfnts, and doubttci-s siiarrtl lllc '1”"‘°1111l1'y teaching by lvfcdame Ericka. Later Mr. Haiiscll ivas ap- Wllletl tutor to both the young Princes.

~ STARTED CAMPS v FOR BOYS

h“ After his naval training. his service during the Grcatuwifrf’ and m; 10ml‘ of studies at Cambridge he began to manifest an intense ‘nglest in a wide range of social subjects. From that time on his w luence and activities were dircctctl toward furthering the civic ° 1M8 of the community. ‘nulgtnef’ of the most novcl and successful enterprises which lhc Duke ‘or b0‘ in welfare work was thc establishment of an annual camp ‘and hlis in- equal number from the historic public schools of Eng- druwl-lliftl fiom the industrial districts. To a total of 400 these boys. “M! ‘tom all grades of social life. were split up liito parties for Hommly-r. where they nightly tocd the some pole. some years New Ba in Kent. has been the site of the camp, and in other years lltlluold in Suffolk.
