Before the Prince went to Oxford it was decided rather suddenly to send him to Paris for a few months. It is | said that this was suggested by Queenl Alexandra, who thought it would do him no harm to have a fling in Paris.

Cadogan had considerable in- | fluence over the Prince. ‘The major, who was killed in the war, was a sportsman, a first-rate rider and polo | player, and a good fellow generall; From Cadogan the Prince got his love of horses, racing and polo, and he im- bibed from the major certain demo- cratic ideas which served to emphasize the natural distaste the Prince had for ceremony and all the restrictions of court etiquette, Visits With Socialists.

PACKARD utsold! Them All! A Remarkable: Endorsement of the New Packard Eights By the World’s Most Discriminating Market - - .- A S K Millinery and Special Bridal Features out today 33 cents...all good news stands LT CCORDING to the official registrations, more new Packards were delivered to purchasers in New York County during October, November and December, 1928, than any other make except Ford. Thus did the world’s most discriminating motor car market place its unqualified approval upon the new Packard Eights. There would be enough glory and recommendation for Packard if it had led only those cars in its own price class « «» which it does and has done for many years. But this record was made in competition with cars priced from $500 to $2000 less than the average Packard. There can be but one reason for this astonishing success. Packards are purchased on their economic worth—their dollar value, as represented by greater satisfaction, longer life and low maintenance costs. If you would like to know more about the many supe- riorities of Packard manufacture and the advantages of Packard ownership, we will welcome an opportunity to demonstrate them fully.
