Sir William's amusing "éon- fession" at a theatrical luncheon on a Friday has surprised those who know his retiring character. As a boy, he saith, he went to the theatre as often as he could and each time with a different girl

"To read some of the things written, about me," he said at his country home at Newick, Sussex, | one would imagine I spent ny | time at the Home Office making rules and regulations to hinder peo- ple in enjoying themselves, if not

"I have always tried to adminis ter my duties in as humane and reasonable a way as I can.

"I still often go to the theatre,” added Sir William, and I enjoy

serious business of life, and that is a very good thing."
