HOW The ENGLISH Heir APPARENT
SEEMS TO ENJOY HIMSELF.
His Little sunday Evening Entertain-
ments-TIe People Who Exert Them
selves to A,nuse His Royal Highness-
The Prince q Capital Speaker.
The restless activity Of the life Of II. r..
III. is simply amazing. "a peep at his
monthly diary of engagements would APP
pal most men. What with ~leyees, draw
ing-rooms, public dinners, balls, presiding
at music exhibitions and Masonic meet
ings, laying corner-stones, visiting hos
pitfalls shooting Off into remote shires to
open docks, tunnels and bridges, assisting
at the erection Of statues to statesmen,
warriors and p~oets-what with these func-
tions, to say nothing of looking in at horse,
cattle and flower shows, steaming down to
Windsor or Osborne to confer with his
queen mother, and turning up promptly
at most of the premicres at the dozen or so
London theatres he invariably attends, one
would reasonably infer that the prince OF
Wales is not only as busy as the pro-
verbal bee, but. has a minute to
himself.
INcEssANT HIGH-PREssURE MOVEMENT.
And yet III. r. H, never seems in a
hurry, but always appears at the ap-
pointed moment radiant and resolute.
When he finds time to make his careful
toilet, read the papers, breakfast and dine
and enjoy the dalliance of domestic life is
q mystery to the general rublic. And
this incessant high-pressure movement
does not break him up. He shows no
traces of strain or fatigue. In 100 an
p~ointments / doubt if he fails in more
than one or two, and then the fault is not
his own. Doubtless the partial retire
ment of the queen throws a great deaI of
social routine work upon him, but he is
equal to the demand. / have known him
to leave q ball at B a. m. and be in the
train equipped for a shooting expedition o.
100 miles away from town the next morn
ing at $50. Sharp work that but as the
Americans say, he is son deck looking
as serene and robust us though he had
gone to bed at sunset instead of sunrise.
But there is one evening of the weeb,
that the prince reserves to himself, and no
amount of influence or intriguing viii in
duce him to engage himself to any formal
function, no matter how important it may
be, on Sunday night. That is the might
Off of I'll. r. H., and on that occasion it is
quite understood among his "set,' as his
little knot OF lntlmates is termed, that he
is to enjoy himself sans facon. Like a
good Christian, and the ."first gentleman
in England" he attends divine worship in
the morning, dimes early with his family,
and then the night is his oWn--and he usu-
ally drives in a hanson after the shades
of evening have descended to the earl of
Flies, in Cayendish square; Lady Moles-
worth's, Mr.. Alfred de Rothchild's, Lord
Charles Beresford's, Lady L~onsdale's, the
duke of Beaufort's, Hamilton Aides, or to
the hospitable mansion of Lord Darlington
who is a great fayorite with the prince,
but who is just now abroad. Formerly
Mr.. Henry Labouchere provided Jolly
Sunday nights, delicately tinged with
Bohemianism, for II. r. H., but of late the
nj. p. for Northampton has gone over,
body and boots, to Radicalism, and is SO
abusive of blue-blooded people in tho caus-
tic columes of Truth that royalty knows
him no longer.
A SUCCESSFUL SUNDAY NIGHT HOST.
