Prince of Wales Says He Won’t Wed
&%rtee
Reuifv«.t
Cwctxdisk
D
The prince, his brother and some of the ladies with whom his name has been linked on numerous recent
occasions, when the subject of matrimony for the heir to the throne arose. In each case the rumor of the prince's
eiiRacement to any one of the ladies has resulted in the almost immediate announcement that, she was to wed
another.
London. June 9.—Will the prince of
Wales ever marry? That query is ex
ercising Mayfair and Belgravia, while
it is nothing short of a tragedy in
Buckingham palace.
The prince recently confessed that
he would never marry, while talking
with a young guards officer, accord
ing to a current report in high circles.
“But think of the succession," the
young guardee answered aghast.
“What matter,” responded the
prince. “I have plenty of brothers.”
The prince must surely be a lover’s
touchstone, for no sooner is his name
coupled with that of some charming
young lady than the rumor is merci
lessly squelched by the announcement
of her betroth*! to someone else.
Like ‘‘Reverse Knglisff."
It was so in the case of Lady Joan
Mulholland. Humor Rpoke of her en
gagement to the prince, and within a
week it was announced she had mar
ried Lord Cavan, the prince's general,
in France. Then his namf was
coupled with that of Lady Elizabeth
Bowes-Lyon. She was confidently
spoken of as the future queen of Eng
land, but time proved that it was to
the second heir to the throne that she
had given her heart.
Unchagrined, the prophets boldly
declared that the heart of the heir to
the throne was centered on Lady
Rachel Cavendish, the third daughter
of the wealthy and powerful duke of
Devonshire. But within a month the
society writers and columnists had to
eat their own words when they an
nounced the engagement of Lady
Rachel to the third sou of a Scottish
peer, the Hon. James Grey Stuart,
third son of the Earl and Countess
Moray.
Then there was the case of I-ady
Mary Cambridge. She is of royal
blood and a second cousin to the king.
"Here is an ideal bride,” gurgled
those who knew. "She is Knglish, eli
gible and has royal hlood in her veins.
On this venture there can be no
doubt.” So they went the limit of the
prophecy, and the columns of the of
ficial "Gazette" were eagerly scanned
for the official proclamation of the
betrothal.
But again capricious fate fooled
’em. Lady Mary is shortly to marry
the marquis of Worcester, heir to the
duke of Beaufort. So of the Knglish
ladies there is only T.ady May Cam
bridge left. She is a second cousin
of Lady Mary and also a kinswoman
of the prince, t'p to the moment it
has only been hinted that the prince
may take Lady May to the altar. So
the announcement of her engagement
—to somebody else, of course—is ex
pected any day.
The newspaper match making be
tween the prince and foreign prin
cesses has been wide of the mark also.
Despite the difference in religion,
everybody was tipping that the prince
would marry Princess Jose, the only
daughter of the king and queen of
the Belgians.
Yolanda a Candidate.
Then Princess Yolanda loomed In
the newspapers as the consort of the
future British king. In spite of the
pontifirial disapproval. that was
nearer the mark than most newspaper
guesses. The pretty Italian princess
came to Kngland incognito a few
weeks before her engagement to her
Italian count was announcer], it was
intended that she would give the
young prince the onceover. At the
moment she was In love with har
I present husband, but she was per
haps more than half willing to listen
to the dictates of the politicians and
diplomats.
The Protestants and the Orangemen
were just getting ready to draw? up
their protests against the future kin*
of the realm marrying a Roman
Catholic when the beautiful dark
eyed Italian princess disappeared as
quickly and as quietly as she ap
peared, and within a fortnight her
betrothal to one of her own country
men was announced. TJic Orangemen
breathed a sigh of relief.
There was no need for their ap
prehension. The princ^ of Wales was
away in the country risking his n^ck
and his litnbs steeplechasing and fox
hunting. He had no thought for the
pretty little Italian princess living in
cognito in a quiet London hotel. In
fact, those most intimate with the
prince say that he never even knew
of her appearance in England until
after she had returned to her coun
try.
Had the prlnc4 seen the lady from
Italy a different story might have
been written. But the two never met.
Although once when the prince was
functioning at some important social
engagement in a purely official and
formal manner the charming Princess
Volanda was there, but her real
identity was a secret even to the
prince.
That the prince had made an im
pressinn was undoubted, for she lin
gered in London a few days longer.
But the meeting never came about,
and the little princess went home
to her dashing Italian cavalryman
and happiness.
So now they are beginning to re
We Grew With Omaha,

Eighteen years of service to the people of Omaha

The success of the Beddeo plan is the endorsement
of the thousands of Omahans, and those of surrounding
towns who continuously accept the benefits of our buying power
and our extension of credit. We say continuously, because many
men and women have been patrons with us for years, and each
week this store is crowded with familiar faces.

gard the prince as a bachelor. So
far as matrimony is concerned the
drawing rooms of Belgravia and May
fair have long ago ceased discussing
it. Moreover, a sad fate awaits the
society journalist who endeavors to
peddle a story around Fleet, street
with the "inside'’ on the prince's
forthcoming engagement to Lady
Blank nr the Princess Ditto.
In fact, he word has gone from
Buckinghar 1 palace to disbelieve ru
mors of the prince's engagement and
also to tread warily on the news
coming in front a variety of sources
as to the night haunts of the
prince. The prince is a keen dancer
and favors the night clubs. Togeth
er with his brothers and his cousin.
Lord Louis Mounthatten and the lat
ter’s very charming wife, he often
makes a round tour of the dancing
halls in London.
Like* l\ S. Music,
Particularly fond of Paul White
man's band, the prince follows him
wherever he goes. At the moment
Paul and his musicians are playing
at a night club which hitherto has
not stood so high In tne social scale,
and an indiscreet publicity agent
broke the news in Fleet street. Some
of the papers carried it, and then
the prince was Inundated with pro
tests from the Musicians' Trades
union here urging that the prince
should not encourage a foreign band
with so many British musicians out
of employment.
But so fur ns matrimony Is con
cerned the prince—to u^je the argot
of the race track which he loves so
much—is a non-starter. In the swag
ger cavalry messes and among the
young officers of the Guards—
where the prince is referred to as
either David or the "P. of W." or the
"Little Man"— there Is talk of his
having lost his heart to r lady, and
she is unnamed, of course; for it is
a disgraceful breach of etiquette even
to mention the name of a lady in an
officers’ me*n, no matter in what
sense. The tragedy of it, too, is that
his affection Is unrequited.
So perhaps after all Lady Elizabeth
(Duchess of York! may sit on the
throne of England as queen con
sort to .King Albert the First.
Connecticut Satisfied
With Old Yankee Names
Norwalk, Conn., June 7—A plea for
retention of old Yankee names for
localities here has been made by many
citizens. City officials, in setting
aside acres of shoreland for a public

highsounding enough for modern

Autos Ruining Women’s Legs?
Famous Portrait Painter Says So, but Criticism
Raises Storm of Protest in Chicago.
Chicago, Juno 9—Are the women
of today aa beautiful and shapely as
their sisters of a generation ago?
Sir William Orpen, famous portrait
painter, thinks not. He indicts the
automobile as one of the greatest
"enemies of women," holding its use
responsible for "skinny legs, bony
shoulders and greater waist lines," He
argues girls used to keep healthy and
shapely by walking
His criticism raised a storm of pro
test from Chicago artists, physicians
and club women. They agree that
Sir William does not know what he is
talking about, and that if he really
wants to s>-e some beautiful women
he should come to Chicago.
Health Commissioner Bundeson
was onp that disagreed with Orpen.
He said:
"I don't know where Sir William
got his information, but it hasn't been
my observation that legs are getting
thinner because of the use of the
automobile.
"I think that every day. In every
way, the women of Chicago are get
ting more beautiful and more shape
ly. and the automobile Is aiding them.
They use the machines to get to the
tennis courts and the golf links.
Arbin Poiasek, sculptor, pointed
out that the athletic-type girl of to
day is far mote beautiful than the
clinging baby types of past years.
