LONDON. Nov. 22.-(New York World
Cablegram-Specisl Telegram. Some OF
the most interesting children close to the
thrones OF Europe have been called to pub
lie attention by various recent events. Part
Of the German emperor's mission here. Just
closed. is believed to have been to talk with
the British royal family about arranging a
match between his eldest son, Crown Prince
William, and Princess Alice of Albany, a
niece OF King Edward, the only daughter OF
his brother Leopold. the late duke Of AL
bany. AS the emperor is a nephew Of the
king, the crown prince is nearly related to
the princess. Those persons who are versed
In such matters may figure out the precise
relationship. Some call the young folks
second cousins, the emperor being first
cousin to the possible future wife OF his
son.
Much has been printed lately about the
crown prince. especially since the gossips
had him falling desperately in love with a
beautiful American, Gladys Deacon. Prin-
cess Alice OF Albany is a charming maiden
of 10. one year younger than the crown
prince. Her mother, Princess Helen OF
Waldeck and Pymront. is a sister OF the
ruler OF that principality and Princess Alice
has become quite Germanized by having
lived most Of the three years with her
mother in that country. Her brother be-
came the duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha
two years ago, succeeding his uncle, King
Edwards brother Alfred. Princess Alice's
mother came to England with Emperor Will
liam and went to Sandringham with him.

and won all hearts by his manliness and
modesty. Grown Prince Louis Philippe OF
Portugal, who has also the title OF duke of
Braganza, is in his 10th year, but appears
older. A year ago he took the oath as heir
to the throne, when the people OF Lisbon
commented a great deal on his looking much

less than three years younger. Londoners
are recalling the story OF how Louis Phil

ties here in coronation week, saying with
extreme simplicity: mo, I thank you; /
am too small yet"
Little Prince Henry, the prince OF Wales
third and youngest son, has become a
great favortte with the British public as
well as the pet Of the household. He was
2 years old on the last day OF March. The
English throne may never be occupied by
him, for the lives of his two older broth
ers. Prince Edward Albert and Prince Al
bert Frederick, stand between him and the
scepter, but Rritons are very fond Of the
youngster and eagerly snap up his pic
lures.
Girls Are Barred.

daughter to the king of Italy, a second
disappointment, directs sympathetic at
tention to Victor Emmanuel's first born,

Romanoffs Of Russia, the warm friends OF
