The Youngest Son

On Dec. 20 Prince George, fourth son of King George and Queen Mary, celebrated his 21st birthday. Under an act known as 1 Geo. 1. c. 28 of Aug. 3, 1910, the Civil List of Their Majesties stipulates for the payment to trustees of -L-10,000 ($43,500) a year for each son who attained the age of 21. When Parliament reassembles in January it will be asked to vote this sum to the young Prince.

Prince George is a lieutenant in the Navy, and, after the Prince of Wales, considered the most attractive of the King's sons. A thoroughgoing sportsman, he is fond of dancing, is adept at strumming jazz tunes on the piano.

Recently his rumored engagement to Miss Grace Vanderbilt of Manhattan was 'denied. More recently Lady Irene Curzon,-- whose mother was Miss Mary Leiter of Chicago, has been mentioned. This, however, is most unlikely, as Lady Irene is six years older than he. When he does decide to marry he will become entitled to another $65,250 a year from the State.

-- Lady Curzon is the daughter of George Nathaniel Curzon, foreign minister in the Baldwin Cabinet.
