Car Nicholas and the Prince of
Wales are "as permissible to employ
that homely smile when speaking
of such exalted personages. No
twins ever were more like than these
first cousins and their resemblance
caused many amusing mistakes dur
ing regatta week here.
The Car and the Prince are ex-
actly the same height and figure and
they walk alike. Their voices and
accent are precisely similar. Even
their boards are cut In the same
fashion. The only way in which
they differ is in complexion; the
Car Is slightly darker han the
Prince.

Russian admiral only the closest
scrutiny could distinguish between
them, and the servants on the Rus

the Kings yacht constantly confused
their identity.
Even the Czarina was puzzled to
tell one from the other. After a
banquet on the STANDARD Wednes-
day night she went on deck. In the
comparative gloom she approached
her husband, as she supposed, and
affectionately slipped her arm In his.
He was the Prince Of Wales, who,
as his cousins guest, wore Rus
sian admirals uniform.
The officer of the STANDARD who
! told of the Czarina's mistake said
that when King Edward heard of 1t
he laughed until he seemed in dan
ger of apoplexy.
The Princess of Wales laughed,

mistakes; ! might make one. We
will tie a blue ribbon around His
Majesty's arm and red one around
my husbands arm" ~
