Signing FOR PRINCE GEORGE.
All Newport Yearns Yet Trembles
for His Advent.
And Still He's but n R%oilickinR Fell

NEWPORT, July 10. Newport is sim
mering over one large. delicious. it'll
lating thought. II fills the air as cleo
tricity before a brooding storm. 1t Is the
advent. the surmised advent, OF his
Royal H~ighness. Prince George OF Wales,
second son of His Royal Highness, AL
bert Edward. Prince OF Wales.
All the %cottagers are consumed with the
desire to do something for the royal tar.
One bold, adventurous spirit, whose am
bition must be of the headicrt kind, has
actually written to Sir Julian Paunccfotc
and extended the hospitality Of his cottage
10 the Prince during his stay in Newport!
The daring soul has been crashing upon n
Don't" code relating to the treatment
Of Princes Of the Royal Blood az Guests.

cottage IL he did bunk there. How could
they sleep when they felt that n real live
Prince was tucked away between the
sheets of the cnnopied bed in the quiet
chamber2
Then George would struggle down at
any time for breakfast. aud of course il
wouldn't be etiquette TO ent before the
Prince had taken his dcjeuuer. Anybody
knows hat.
The horrid report has been started that
George won't come. He can go most
anywhere he wants to on the Thrush.
But he may have gotten wind Of all the
dinners that are going to be sprung on
him, and sbrlnks from them. Anyhow.
il was limited at Mrs. William Astor's
dinner last evening that George wouldn't
come to Newport after all, but the cot.
tagers haven't given up hope.
Somebody has started the report that
the Prince was a little afraid of meeting
McAllister. Naturally, George has the
very highest kind of breeding. The
Princess herself used TO check him in his
callow baby days when the sense of his
awful mightiness had not been borne in
ON his little mind, aid made him feel the
royal bit.
But he has knocked around on ship
board a good deal. and the habit Of
tering up to a jolly old tar and saying in
I'LL ou- WY "Nti, OhNhs . hhV
wind? ?" and things like that have taken
the edge off from his real company man
ners, and he may be afraid that McAllister
would get onto some sh~ortcoming in the
matter of social observance and perhaps
mention il to his father.

gous has gone to bed an hour earlier
every night since it was reported tina.
Prince George would honor Newport with
4 visit. and anxiety about her complexion
has almost wrought a wrinkle on her ala
baster brow.
Willie Aston and McAllister are the only
fellows who feel perfectly safe. Willie
lived some time with u king, 30 he is used
to royal ways. and he knows il Prince
George snubs ham he can work him iuto a
novel and even things up. 1t is said, too,
that Mrs. William Aston. the dowager
Mrs. William, Willie's aunt. was at q gar.
den party at Marlborough House once.
So she's all right.
The fact is that George is a good rollick-
ing fellow twenty five years old. who is
fond of the girls aud who likes to have a
good time. The Newporters will be sur
prised to find that it is much easier to
entertain him thar 1t is "Jacky" Astor.

If he cuts Newport the cottagers can only
entertain themselves with rumors about
him. 1t is TO be hoped that the married
ladies won't crowd out the maidens. II
