Dancing Man

COMMONWEALTH (British Commonwealth of Nations)

He begins the day with an orange.

His telephone number is Regent 4140.

Six and seven-eighths is the size of his hat.

He speaks French and German fluently and a few words of Welsh.

Unlike his father he does not like soup.

He chews gum, on occasion.

Squash racquets is his best game.

Most of his London property is in Kennington district, where Charlie Chaplin was born.

When asked what he would like best in the world he once replied: "Two full days absolutely alone and to myself."

But as a matter of fact he is never content to be alone, keeps a friend or an equerry always chatting at his side.

Such were Walesiana collected by the United Press last week from many a London source, including Sir Godfrey Thomas, Private Secretary to Edward of Wales, described by the grateful newsgatherer as "most courteous and obliging. . . ."

At Melton Mowbray, famed hunting centre of Edward of Wales, he danced one evening last week with the wife of his stud groom, with the wife of the village fishmonger, and with the sole local telephone operator, a buxom girl.
