“%t would be far more accurate to say that His Majesty's circle was too largely composed of men and women, some of them high in birth and all of them remote from ‘the people, who cared less for his welfare than for their own amusement. “The real clash was between the thoughtlessness of exotic society and the hard core of British tradition of conduct which is common to all classes in this country, but it must also be said in fairness that none of us can realize how hard is the path of a King in choosing good
friends.

For the acceding sovereign, whom the colorful Edward overshadowed since boyhood, there was respect and an affection that will become love. It was agreed that his consort would be a popular Queen, of no little political importance because she unites with the English kingdom the: proud kingdom of Scotland.

North Sea: The young officer, however, thought his chance of service was gone when in September, 1914, he was stricken with appendicitis and had to be operated on. However, as soon as he
had convalesced, he got his dear-
est wish. He was allowed to rejoin his ship.
