Only one man dared to go in evening dress, and he was the M.C., Mr. Sam Preece. There were no modern crinolines or buck- less gowns just lounge suits and neat frocks. The main care of the doorkeeper was to keep out gate-crashers in evening dress.
Planned by Wimbledon's Mayor, Major . A. Crowe, whose idea is to break down the barriers of class and snobbery, the ball was uttended by 1,000 and proved a great fancial help for the Mayor's ber.volent fund for necessitous eases in the district.
MUCH PARTNERS LITTLE Aldermen and councilors paid their shilling and danced with typists and clerks; irls with private incomes partnered bricklayers" and Jubourer; rooks and factory girls paired with £15-a-week City men.

Mr. Hatry is now 49. During his imprisonment his son, Mr. Cecil A. Hatry, hus looked after his father's interests, and last year he prepared a booklet to show that the effects of the crash were more limited than was generally supposed, and that his father did much good work.

In 1912 he was clerk to an in-
surance broker. Not seven years later he was a racehorse and yacht owner and a millionaire by reputa- tion.
