The Duchess of York became the “ first lady member ”. The Prince paid his membership fee of 6d and signed on the dotted line in response to an invitation by the figure of “ Old Bill ” with outstretched hand captioned, “Put it there, mate! ” He bought numerous articles at the exhibition, chiefly brightly-coloured mufflers and handkerchiefs, saying: “ Cheerful colours make cheerful people ”; also women’s handbags, which, he said, he wanted to compare with those made by foreigners.
