A prize fighter has given a lesson in reticence to the “stunt” exploiters of royalty. When Gene Tunney was in London at the end of August he received an audience of the Prince of Wales at Rt. James’ Palace. The interview lasted half an hour. Tunney emphatically declined to give an account of his visit. Ilis secretary, speaking on his behalf, said: '‘The interview took place at 2.30, and it lasted half an hour. What they discussed can easily be guessed, but Mr. Tunney has no desire to tell anybody anything of the conversation. it was of the nature of a Royal request, and as such is to be treated with confidence. ’ ’ At Hus season of the year each new shipment of English and Continental houses is a source of keenest interest We have just opened a fascinating lo ( of new goods, which we take pride ii displaying.
