—At his 72nd birthday party, Winston Churchill's 60-lb. cake in token of his catholicity of taste in headgear, wore 32 assorted little hats. Herbert Morrison, Lord President of the Council, drew a distressed tut from the British trade paper, Tailor and Cutter, which ran two pictures of him. "Take the picture above," wrote the editor. "Quite nice. The stripes run parallel to the edge of the lapel. . . . Now look at the larger photograph. Oh! ... the trousers are too short. . . . The over coat is not a very pleasant sight. . . . And why is[he] so careless with his buttons and flaps?" Muttered Tailor and Cutter: ";We are very disappointed in Mr. Herbert Morrison ... he is a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde."
* Not to be confused with the late first Duchess May Etheridge, who was also a Gaiety Girl.
