THE KING AS SALESMAN
* ■ FETE AT BALMORAL CASTLE Rugby, September 12. The King and Queen and the Duke and Duchess of York on Saturday helped at a fete in the grounds of Balmoral Castle. For three hours the King stood on the public stand of a stall in the flower tent and acted as auctioneer, receiving notes and silver from hundreds of people in exchange for flowers that had been sent from the Royal gardens at Balmoral, Sandringham and Windsor. The King appeared to enjoy his duties as salesman and passed jokes with his customers. After all the flowers had been sold the King proceeded to sell the vases and bowls that had contained the blooms.—British Official Wireless.
