FASHION LEADER
POPULAR PRINCE OF WALES INCIDENT IN BUDAPEST. The Prince of Wales, stepping on to the railway platform at Budapest recently after a two days’ train journey from Cannes, started a new men’s fashion —black and white sports shoes. They were the first things that Budapest noticed. Within half an hour inquiries were being made in the shops for them. Before closing time a few lucky Hungarians had secured pairs of the shoes. The Prince wore a straw hat, a grey flannel, double-breasted suit, blue shirt, grey tie, the already famous shoes, and a white orchid in his buttonhole. On the hotel register he appeared as the Duke of Chester. The Prince first asked for the station master, to whose greeting he replied in Hungarian. Then, after shaking hands with the Budapest police chief, he walked smiling through the crowd of 4000, who cheered their “ Prince Charming,” as they call him, jumped into a car, and drove to the Dunapalota Hotel.
