LONDON. March 16.—The Prince of Wales seems in no hurry to leave the | snug comfort of his quarters at York | House for the grandeur of Marlborough | House, and the fact that he has just| had his present home redecorated to suit his own taste shows he does not intend to ‘move vet | The new scheme of decoration blends | remarkably well with _the mellow | tones of St. James' Palace. The old staircase has been redecorated and a fawn-colored stair carpet laid The prince is particularly pleased | with reconstruction work in the hall where a lovely mosaic fioor has been laid. The lighting here has been im- proved and modern heating installed The prince, however, always modesr, has not been content to trust alto- gether to his own judgment in house | decoration. and he consulted severa: friends with experience.

The Duke of York has a silver lion mascot. while Prince George has a model ship on his new green sports car. Political Parties Active. Although the general election is still two months distant, all three pariies are concentrating on the need for win- ning over the thousands of voung women voting for the first time.” One enterprising candidate intends that ail bills announeing his meetings shall bear the sentence, “Come in thousands and | bring vour knitting.” Another candi- date, a Conservative, says: “The British flapper is a sportsman. Therefore, 1 point out to her that the government did a sporting thing by giving her the vote, although it was warned that she would vote for another party. I suggest to her that such sportsmanship deserves her support.” Other candidates say thai what young | women like best is novelty..and these | are jealous of the prospective member | for Thanet. who has decided to do his electioneering in an _airplane. flitting | hither and thither and addressing meet- ings from the cockpit. Another view is that entertainment is essentlal in winning votes. This is ev dently the view of the xm-ernm-n,‘ which, besides having movietones made of its leaders, alo has had them done well known entertainers, such as Ar- ur_ Prince, ventriloquist. These will ®e shown at election meetings in all | parts of the country | What the Socialists and Liberals will | ut up as counter-attractions is not yet nown. But Oliver Baldwin. the prime minister’s Socialist son. is an excellent mimic. and a few well-timed imperso- nations of members of the cabinet might win the eléction for him. The fiery Mr. Maxton may be counted upon to “bring | down” any “house” with his famous| aword dance! Painting Musician's Hobby. Sir Henry Wood, popular English con- ductor of “prom” fame, recently cele- brated his sixtieth birthday anniversary. He lives in a charming house at Chorley ‘Wood. Buckinghamshire, where he dis- ports himself in an old coat and over- alls in a lofty barn ingeniously adapted az a studio. Painting has been Sir Henry's lifelong hobby, and nothing gives him greater pleasure than to throw off the cares of music for the moment and devote himself to the brush.
