London, Oct. 1.

DON'T want my birthday advertised," said Mr. H. G. Wells over the telephono, "and 1 wish people wouldn't be quite so urgent about it. It's so unpleasantly like the landlord's 'Time gents.'

Congratulatory messages on his seventieth birthday are already reaching him at his new house in Regent's Park, and it seems reasonable to ask him to say something about it.

But Mr. Wells no longer gives interviews. They always make me say something I don't quite say," he complains. I rang him up and made the utmost use of several acquaintances we have in common. Even a word on the telephone is next to im- possible to secure with him.

DUCHESS

A NEW home at Hampton Court has been placed by King Edward at the disposal of the Grand Duchess Xenin, Hister of the late Czar of Russia.

Since 1917, when she escaped from the Bolshevik terror, this ahy, white-haired woman of 62 has been living at Fromere Cottage, Windsor Great Park,

Often bedridden with illness she found great happiness in the friendship of King George, who lent her the cottage, and hila sister, Princess Victoria.

King Edward, sharing his father's feelings for the exiled duchess, has now made arrangements for her to be moved to a new house where she may forget the bereavements she has suffered.
