Evolution Of Prince Of Wales.

London, Dec THE evolution OF the
Prince Of Wales from q sailor into an
orator causes more comment and salts
faction than any event of the week.
His Guildhail speech was perfectly
free from that platitudinous element
usually noticeable In royal utterances
In England. His declaration that the
old country nus wake Up " II wanted
TO hold It's own almost took his hearers
breath away. but II has produced in oil
sections OF the press praise quite UNI
tainted by servillty II is probable
that the prince was not entirely respon-
sible for the construction OF the speech
as he used copious notes. Yet his de-
livery, earnestness and willingness to
commit himself to such sentiments have
raised him higher IN the estimation of
the people than any previous action.
Indeed, several OF the papers declared
that the elocutIon Of Lord Salisbury,
Lord Rosebery and Mr.. Chamberlain

Rosalynde, Mr.. Thompson's new
heroine, wears thin summer dresses
and suggests a dainty spring day filled
with whiffs of cherry and apple bios
SONS, but she suggests just spring and
the odors and colors and freshness that
come into ones mind when the image
of sprinng occurs to it. Rosalynde is
girlhood. but she lacks individuaIiza-
ton. She can represent any good and
pretty girl, but she cannot readily be
identified with any girl of ones ac-
quaintance. And her lovers are just
young men. One has curly short hair
with a CLINT of gold where the ends
turn up under the rim of his cap, and
his face has a Norwegian suggestion
in it's fairness, strengthened somewhat
by a peculiar yet not uncomely for
ward thrust of his rather heavy chin,
which bore a rimpled yellow beard,
short, fine and not very thick, running
thence up to his ears; and his mus
other lover was dark. His face was
Of a dusky olive, while his eyes, hair
brows and mustache were nut-brown,
with a dark-yellowish gloom lowering
about them" This is quite in the style
of the fortune-teller, who always tells
her young lady customer after she has
crossed her palm with silver, that
there are two lovers disputing for her
favor, one dark and the other fair.
One a son of mystery, dark-browed
and gloomy. the other fair, a very
mothers son Of joy. These descriptions
will fit any dark and any fair young
man. 70 the fortune-teller is perfectly
safe Most any girl knows two young
men of contrasting complications who
are potentially her lovers. Mr.. Thomp-
sons use of the word mustaches for
the ornament of one young mans
countenance and mustache to describe
the over-lip decoration of the other is
puzzling. There is probably a differ
ence which escapes the Interpretation

and saucy. One might not recognize
her in a rencontre, but the least ana

Young man. but she could not describe
him any more definitely or satisfacto-
riIy. She would not know him herself
should she meet him, although she IS
always looking for him. He is dark
and young and strong and chivalrous
and wealthy. Sometimes she imagines
him painting pictures, sometimes he
has a melting tenor voice and some
times he plays the piano like Pade-
rewski The halo Of her own desire
and imagfnation dazzles her eyes so
that she never sees his features nor
could she describe his clothes if it
should become necessary. Thus Mr..
Thompson. His hero will be plain
enough to the girls who read his story,
and Rosalynde is sufficiently identified
to the young men, For she was
brown haired, brown-eyed, berry
Tipped, she had bright and lissome
figure and she fitted to and fro filling
the air with a suggestion Of heliotrope
and violet" What unattached young
man whose dreams of women have not
crystallized into the face and figure Of
her who Is to be his legal mate would
not be satisfied with this description?
The story is as innocuous as bunch
Of heliotrope. 1t is doubtless pleas
ure to Mr.. Thompson to reflect that
the young man who reads it will say

girl will say of Breyton, who had all

To bend above the pages which abb

most unfortunate consequence of disil-
lusionment.
Little Men, Little Women and An
Old Fashioned Girl have Illuminated
the childhood of many little girls, and
thousands, grown-up, have read the
stories to their own children. To have
ones Juvenile judgment confirmed by
ones mature judgment and by ones

whose works are being tried by such
widely different standards.
Miss AlcOtt's books have been tested
thus and the verdict is still favora BILE
The new editions of these old favorites
have been given to the children Of the
little girls who read about Demi and
Daisy, about Laurie, 10, Beth, Amy
and Mr.. Bhaer. And as the mother or
aunt reads the Christmas present to
the children she recalls her own child
hood and in its most exciting incidents
the children share. An old book, in a
new edition, has the charm Of the old

telling its own story, is inextricabIy
tangled with the life of many lives.
