With hk present bro2d-gz0ge men

have been given 3 more practical early
training than The sons and daughters Of
Queen Victoria. The Prince Is nne

was not satisfied however, wl:h having
her children tssght merely the orna-
mentals. They had = model dairy and
tool shops al Osborne, and the Prlncesses
learned how 20 make butter and cheese
and how TO cook, while the boys were
taught trades OF various kinds. The
Prince Of Wales is very handy with q
plane and saw and ssould the king )
business play out he would 10 able TO
put leg on the kitchen table or tinker
the clock as skilmlly as any COnnecti-
cut Yankee. The Prineesses made and
mended their own clothes and this
knowledge stood at least one OF them IN
good stead IN later life. for there was a
time when Prince Louis of Hesse, who
married Princess Alice, was IN very hard
luck and the Princess made ali OF her
children's clothes herself
With such a bringing up IL IS not re-
markable that the Prince OF Wales
should be very thorough IN everything
he goes into, and he is, in addition,
blessed with a constitution which en-
ables him 10 do any amount OF work
which would floor less vigorous man.
He rises az six in the morning. takes
his tub" then cup OF coffee and
works with Sir Francis KnOlleys. his
secretary, at his espondence
and the newspapers until about
ten, when he breakfasts with his
family. Though he Is a light eater
he spends an hour or more over this
meal, for ne is q very afiectionate father
and husband. and this is frequently the
only opportunity the busy day affords
him for . quiet chat with his wife and
daughters. After this the business of
the day commences. lie reviews regi-
ments, attends lunches, makes speeches
at meetings, goes 10 dinners and thea
ters and takes the lead generally in
English social life. He lives so con-
stantly in the strorg light of publicity
that every action and word is known
and commented upon.
As have said, he is immensely pop
ular, courteous. genial and unaffected.
and puts the most bashful stranger at his
ease at once. In social life he drops
the mantle of royalty and titles and is
simply addressed as ''Sir" by those who
meet him.
Incidents by the score were repeated
10 me illustrating his tact and urbanity
among the lower classes, who fairly
worship him. At the recent races at
Ascot, he was for few moments in the
center of a crowd near the enclosure.
A typical London costermonger pushed
his way close to the prince and touch
ing his cap said:
please yer Royal iness would ye
give me light for me pipe?'
