On Tuesday a public announcement was made by the King
of the betrothal of the Duke of York to Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, the daughter of Lord Strath- more. Lord Strathmore is the owner of Glamis, one of the most magnificent and romantic of Scottish castles. The news has been received with satisfaction throughout the country. Lady Elizabeth is well known and greatly liked in the social world of London and in the Royal Family. The Duke of York, though, like his brothers, he is young to look at, is in his twenty-eighth year, and has zealously played his part in public life. Both the Prince and Lady Elizabeth are fond of outdoor sports of all kinds, including hunting—a fact which will certainly not decrease their popularity. Hunting, though the rich man's pleasure, is, curiously enough, still the most popular of all field sports.
