According to a London cadle , Mr J. C. Cannell, author of the book “When Fleet Street Calls,” just published, cites a court official as stating: “The Prince of Wales regards marriage as a sacred thing above policy and high politics. His continued bachelorhood is the subject of much teasing in the Royal family, particularly by the Duchess of York, but tie Queen is often serious there-anent. Though the Prince takes teasing by his close relatives in the best humour, it is a sensative spot where others are concerned, and even his best friend-’ do not venture to mention it. Tho Prince had a good laugh when an as tropoger recently forecast that no I would be married in May 1934, to a llady with the initials of L.R.P. There lis definitely no woman in Hie offing. I should not be surprised if the Prine? always remained a bachelor.” Place your car in the hands of experts. We can quote you prices that defy competition for all motor body repairs.
