that he will do this and that, and great
pile Of letters from irresponsible people
for whose correspondence he has his
rather to thank. The king when he was
prince Of Wales used to insist on sending
polite response to every missive, how
ever trivial The present prince throws
such letters in the waste basket. He gives
his secretary general instructions con-
corning the other communications, and
then puts in an hour or two on his per-
sonal letters, answering the more formal
OF them in his own rather Sprawling hand,
and debating the others to confidential
short hand writer.
Often the correspondence leaves him
just time to dress for some luncheon or
other at which his attendance Is required
and which lasts SO long that the guest
has to begin dressing for dinner almost
as soon as he gets back to his wing in
dingy old st. Jamess palace.
His share Of public work In the past
year, and the heavy shadow Of future re-
sponsibilities, has added dignity to the
princes figure. An English novelist,

In his earlier days the prince was the
acknowledged and licensed Jester Of the
family circle. In his capacity as official
humorist he could play pranks that were
forbidden to his sisters and that were
scorned by his stiff elder brother, the
duke of Clarence. Court chroniclers tell

turned from his colonial tour, and the
well-nigh universal impression Is that ha
mas rather improved on acquaintance.
There are English folk who claim to have
discovered in him positively brilliant
qualities and have even discerned in him
inc1pient craftsmanship. There are plenty
OF others who privately observe that his
royal highness never had an idea in his
life and in the ordinary course Of natrre
cannot reasonably be expected ever to
have one. If you point out to them that
three or four public addresses the prince
has made since his return from his
colonial tour have contained good deal
more meat than one expects from royalty.
1t is retorted that the speeches are writ

OF course. the truth lies between these
extremes. except as regards the story
that his speeches are written for him. I
have pretty good authority for saving
that the prince faithfully writes his own
speeches. OF course his secretary gr,Ii1s
up the facts for him, just as any speaIs-

Su1shed company there assembled would

would beg to say that he firmly believed
education to be q good thing.
notwithstanding all these limitations,
the prince made speech at the Guild

Mai tour in which he informed the coun-
try that it was time for it to wake up
as he expressed it. Others had made the
same discovery some time before, but
coming from the prince of Wales, this
statement was deemed quite startling,
and he has been looked upon since then
as man who might at any moment have
another lightning flash Of intuition.

HERE Is deep, popular i'm
fTT preston in England that
King Edward VII never will
be crowned and that the
prince Of Wales will become
George V. before Nov. 9, the
day or which the present king would cele-
brate mis- sixty-frst birthday and his heir
would celebrate the first anniversary Of
his promotion to be prince Of Wales.
On the afternoon of the very day the
coronation was postponed there was a
sudden demand on the part of the public
for photographs OF the prince. Pictures
that had numbered shop shelves for
months went off with a rush and all
available negatives were hastily brought
out and put into service. Since then the
English people have been getting used
to an idea that had never presentedsitself
seriously to them before-the idea of hay
ing the good-natured, easy going Prince
George for king.
One Of the leading Jacohites, the
marquis de RuviEny, prophesied darby to
me Just before the death of Queen Vic
toria that, although the amiatle gentle
man who was then prince of Wales would
doubtless succeed to the throne without
popular dissent, the heir presumpt!ve
would find matters far otherwise. But
