He subscribes to no formal religlous creed, and is against confes- slon. He is very fond of travel, and when his official duties permit, he in-: variably spends his holidays abroad. He has a_Summer residence at Topolcany : near Bratislava and another at Lany near Prague. Social functions of all{ kinds bore him, but he is a cheerful host to men of science, artists and | serfous politicians. He does not play cards, nor is he in- terested in parlor games of any kind. Neither does he care for hunting, fish- ing, automobiling or tinkering with ma- chinery. He likes the native Czech| clog dance, of which he himself is no mean performer. i principal one. Retaining the simple tastes he acquired when a poor boy, he likes the plainest Czech dishes, such as bolled beef and cabbage, pig's knuckles and sauerkraut, pig's head, blood sausages and goose's neck. His favorite dessert is plum dumplings. Although he is not in favor of prohibi- tion, President Masaryk rarely touches alcohol, nor does he smoke. “Smoking.” says he, “is an unnatural and useless | indulgence." | The President begins his. official | duties about 8:30 am. He remains at his office until 12 or 1, when he has luncheon with Premier Svela or other friends. After luncheon he usually rests for an hour, generally reading A novel, but seldom sleeping.
