Nothing, in a week of surprises at British courtesy and efficiency, appealed to them more than their meeting with the Duke of York.

One visitor even asked the Duke to go to America. This was Mr. George W. Sweeney, vice-president of the Bowman Hotel Corporation and international de-{ legate to the Paris convention."
"I think the Duke of York is delight- ful," he said, and invited him to come to New York. He said that he would like to do so very much. It is no wonder that your Royal Family is so popular. They are not a bit like the kings and queens we read about in history..
