KING'S HEALTH
WILL NOT APPEAR AT CENOTAPH (United Press Association—By ElectricTelegraph.—Copyright.) LONDON, • Oct. 18. To-day’s announcement that the King will not appear at the Cenotaph, which is the first time since the war, need not be accepted as an indication that His Majesty’s health forbids it. As a point of fact it is authoritatively learned that his .seven weeks’ rest at his favourite residence, Sandringham, worked such wonders that the King looks better now than he did months preceding his illness. An additional reason is that Ins Majesty has enjoyed more complete leisure than he ever before permitted himself. Those who saw him leave on a short drive from Sandringham, with the Queen to-day, realised tnat he was the King whom the nation familiarly knows as. alert, intent, healthy, vigorous and active, glancing appreciatively at the autumn countryiscle. His exceptional gift for the recollection of faces and events has not been, interrupted. Another example of his revived energy is his neighbourly curiosity which he is again evincing in the affairs of the villagers. His Majesty is quietly enjoying the life of a country gentleman. His dearest wish is once again to enjoy shooting, When he is not motoring he frequently visits the dairy and stables. His afternoons are spent, in rambling in the grounds, sometimes on foot with a dog, sometimes riding a shooting pony, and sometimes in a small six-wheeled car which, tank fashion, surmounts the inequalities en route. He frequently fishes In the lake from a Canadian canoe.
Sandringham will probably remain the King’s home until after Christmas,
