terc sue became the wife of
Herbert Asquith. the then
British prime Minister, take
idinncr with the Prince of
ijVvales dressed in her night-gown?
Well, at least a dozen
titled women raised their
' eytbrews in holy horror and
declared that the flimsy gar
ment was a nightgown. Mrs.
Asquith says it was net a
nightgown.
She says it was "a fine
white muslin dress with
transparent short chemise
sleeves, a fichu and a long
ikirt with a Nattier blue taf
feta sash. I had taken a
bunch of rose carnations out
of a glass and pinned them
into my fichu with three dia
mond ducks given me by
Lord Carmichacl."
Well, it doesn't seem te
have made much difference
whether it was a nightgown
or net; the fact remains that
the Prince of Wales, after
ward Edward VII, was
charmed by the wearer of
the much - discussed gar
ment. It was at a dinner given
by Lady Randelph Church
ill, and the old dowagers who
declared that Marget was
dressed in a nightgown may
have been jealous because
the future King showered
most of his attention upon
the fascinating young girl.
Band at 9 and 5:20; Organ

Clilinm at Simn
This very unconventional
young woman, who was the
leader of that remarkable in
formal organization known
as "The Seuls," which se fre
quently shocked the British
aristocracy, had been dining
alone in the flat of Godfrey
Webb and was lying en the
sofa while Webb was read-
t ...
hjng aloud te her when she
J was suddenly 'summoned te
attend a dinner given by
Lord Churchill te meet the
Price of Wales, se if it was
anightgewn she were at the
dinner, it must have been a
nightgown that she were
when dining alone with God
frey Webb, because, as she
states in her intimate diary,
he went from the Webb flat
te the Prince's dinner with-
Keut changing her costume.
et
f But the future wife of
.Britain's Jf remier had a ter
rific fall from favor as com
plete as was her sudden rise.
Apparently, one can get tee
familiar with princes.
As everybody knows, Ed
ward was inclined te stout
ness, and as this stoutness
increased he became mere
sensitive about it. His in
timates called him "Pom "Pem "Pom
,'.Pem," and at a luncheon
'given by the present Lord
Ribblesdale, the Prince, mo
tioning te a scat beside him,
Baid te Miss Tennant, "Come
and sit by me, Dragen-Fly."
Jt
Quick as a flash, Miss Ten
nant replied, "Of course I
will, Turn -Turn," accom
panying the remark with a
' resounding thwack in the
region of his waistcoat with
a fork. Te treat his "tummy"
in this manner was a little
tee much even for the geed
natured Prince Edward, and
he turned his back en the
forward young lady and de
voted himself te his left
hand neighbor.
