THE TIME OF HIS LIFE.

The debonair and democratic young
Crown Prince, Wilhelm. of Sweden, is
having the time of his life in the "effete
east" and New York is going quite mad
over the youngster. He is far more
like an average American lad. just out
OF college, than the representative OF a
royal house OF Europe, and has sue
ceeded in breaking half of the social
conventions paramount in Newport and
New York society, as well as a good
many hearts of the softer persuasion.
He is just plain boy, full Of animal
spirits and seems to possess very little,
If any, of the traits of an aristocrat; he
has no airs and is far too democratic to
suit the reverend and titled old gentle
man who has been sent out to tutor him
through his worldwide campaign of
friend making.
He is charmed with America, and we
are likely to have warm and
devoted friend on his fathers throne
when time shall ordain his relinquish-
ment Of it to this jolly young scion. He
is not frolicing all his time away, how
ever, but is studying closely the institu-
tions that command his deeper interest
and which are next and nearest his own
regal and social status at home, the
governmental and municipal principles
of moment everywhere. His tour will be
worth much to him when he comes to
apply the things he has learned over
here, and this will contribute to the firm
and friendly regard in which he will
always hold us, fact he declared over
and over again. Good luck to him, al
waysl
