Secret of The Fabulous Lady Decker
"I haven't a million," claims
Lady Docker, "I never have had
a million!" Once, when asked
bow much money she had, she
confessed, "About £150,000—and
that's better than a slap in the
face with a wet fish."
Of course, nobody is particu-
larly interested in the precise
sum lovely Norah Docker is
worth. The world is content to
have her just as she is -ecstati-
cally demonstrating how to play
marbles slapping faces at Monte
Carlo and always fabulously
blending caviare and contro-
versy,
It is common knowledge, how-
ever that her first husband left
£177,500 and that her second
husband left £955,000. Death
duties depleted these fortunes,
but they may have been re-
trieved since then by shrewd.
investments.
Twice widowed, Norah Docker
has known heartbreak as well
as happiness. She also has known
what it is to toil in a shop, sel-
ling hats, for fifty shillings a
week.
Maybe that is the secret of her
vivid appeal. Even before she
had money, she was afraid of
nobody and nothing. Now that
she has cash, her unconventional
fun daunts the acid brigade.
There was that wonderful oc-
casion when Lady Docker visited
a coal mine and afterwards told
the miners, "Now you must come
to see me!"
Sure enough, thirty - three
Cloth- capped straight - talking
colliery workers were duly ush-
ered aboard Sir Bernard Dock-
er's luxury yacht Shemara, the
largest British private yacht
registered at Lloyd's.
"It's a simple ship, really,"
Norah Docker explained, as she
showed her guests around the
opulent staterooms, the seven
tiled bathrooms and the deep -
carpeted lounge with its huge,
open fireplace. She knew they
would thoroughlyy enjoy this
private peek.
Liberally they feasted on sal-
mon and lobster, cold roast
pheasant, three saddles of lamb,
A baron of beef, game pie, chick-
en and duck. The English Chan-
nel was afterwards littered with
scores of empty champagne bot-
tles.
Perhaps the highlight of the
Occasion was the delightful spec-
tacle of Lady Docker herself, in
bell-bottom slacks, dancing a
hornpipe while the guests roared
applause and Sir Bernard beam-
ed bland approval.
She made a host of friends,
also, when she answered the chal-
lenge issued . by the girls of a
Yorkshire factory's marble team.
Wearing a glamorous gown of
peacock blue for the "reet do,"
Norah showed unexpected abil-
ity _to
bil-ity-to win a decisive nineteen
points to twelve, and became un-
official women's marble cham-
pion of the world.
One can have nothing but ad-
miration for the way Lady Doc-
ker rallied to her husband's
cause during the B.S.A. contrb-
versy. She autographed more
than ten thousand photographs
of herself to accompany letters
she sent to stockholders.
The fabulous Norah gained
immense popularity but shock-
ed the snobs by signing auto-
graph -books at the Royal Ascot
race meeting.
"If it gives a little happiness,"
she said defiantly, "I don't care
what some people think." And
she startled millions of viewers
when she appeared on the tele-
vision screen wearing jewellery
that looked like a queen's ran-
som. "What do you think?" she
bubbled. "It cost only £3, 4s.
3d."
Lady Docker believes that a
woman's first duty is to be a
woman, and look as glamorous
as she can afford to.
Most people find her gaiety
quite infectious, and she makes
it very evident that she thor-
oughly enjoys being a Cinder-
ella of real life.
To understand Norah Docker
you have to remember that her
fatar died when she was only
sixteen, and that she and her
mother faced a bitter struggle
to keep things going.
They had to move from their
big house at Edgbaston, and
young Norah Turner helped her
mother run a small hotel. Hard
times continued and Norah
thought they could do better in
London.
It was during the dance -mad
'twenties, and Norah fancied her
chances as a professional dance
teacher. She spent far more than
she could afford on a course of
lessons with Santos Casani.
"Norah was my best dancer," he
recalled. His ambitious • pupil,
however, soon discovered that
there were far too many dance
teachers and too few' pupils,
Living with her mother in a
tiny flat in Bayswater, Norah
knew what it was to be uncom-
fortably poor. She took a job in
a big department • store, selling
hats, with a sales commission of
a penny in the pound.
She was told there was a
store rule that girls of the staff
should wear brown. dresses. De-
termined to look smart, Norah
splurge 1 on a brown satin frock
— only to discover that store
dresses had to be of brown cot-
ton or wool.
"You will have to go unless
you fellow ;the rules," Norah
was reminded.
I've gone!" she retorted.
For a time she worked in a
little gown shop in Birming' lm,
and. maybe she was just one of
many girls, dreaming that one
daythey might marry million-
aires.
Norah didn't marry a million-
aire. She, was twenty-eight
when, at a party, she met Clem
Callingham, a director of a. wine
firm. The couple fell deeply in
love, and soon were married.
Theirmarriage lasted for sev-
en years, affording perfect hap-
piness, and they had a son,
Lance. During the war Norah
drove an ambulance, but apart
from that her only interests in
life were her husband and her
son .r
Norah was stunned with deep
grief when. Clem died. But he
had told her: "If anything hap-
pens to me, you should realer -
He had introduced her to Sir
William Collins, who had lost
his own wife only two years
before. The widow and the wi-
dower found companionship, in
their mutual grief, and they
were married; but the union of
these two lonely people was to
prove tragically brief, for Sir
William died a year later.
The gay Lady Docker remem-
bers how, in those days, she used
to cry herself to sleep. Her life
entirely changed once more,
however, when she met Sir Ber-
nard at a charity dance.
The Collins money had come
from jam, pickles, tobacco, a
department store and other in-
vestments. Bernard had inheri-
ted an estimated £3,000,000 from
his father, chief of a railway
car company; and he had mar-
ried a film actress, but divorced
her in 1934. Thus Norah had not
always been rich and Bernard
had not always been happy.
Norah knew that Bernard was
the man for her when she saw
him come home one day from a
shooting expedition, with his
arm affectionately round her
sons' shoulder. It was the boy
himself who asked them whe-
ther they wanted to marry.
To -day young Lance is the fo-
cus of the family. Lady Docker
'Is not ashamed to live the full
life that is every woman's sec-
ret dream. And Sir Bernard in-
dulgently shares the fun with
the air of a man who knows
deep, inward tranquility.
One For The Book
Authors pften conceal a "story"
in their book dedications. For,
as Robert Louis Stevenson said,
every book is, in an intimate
sense, a circular letter to the
friends of the person who writes
it. And on this the public is but
a generous patron who pays the
postage.
Perhaps the luckiest author
ever, through his choice of dedi-
cation, was Joao de Barros, a
sixteenth - century Portuguese
historian. In dedicating a book
to his royal master, King Joao
III, he received as his reward
the entire province of Maranhao,
part of Brazil. Thus, through a
stroke of the pen, he acquired
lordship over a territory 177,000
square miles in extent, approxi-
mately the size of France.
Not even the richest -paid
authors of modern times, like
Ernest Hemingway or Somerset
Maugham, have even got within
shouting distance of earning a
kingdom for a book, much less
for a dedication!

"I'm thinking of getting a pet
for a client of mine. He is a
semi -invalid; can't go out. Man
about 60; very wealthy; nice
chap. He has no relatives — so
the idea of a pet came to ,me."
• The girl considered — then
brightening, said, "I think I
have just the thing;" ,
"Good!" said the man. "What
kind of pet do you suggest?"
Replied the young lady: "Me!"
