New York.-We are the rudest peo-
pie in the world. Prince Adelbert,
aged 81, third son Of the Kaiser, says
so and when prince makes a state

Ito contradict him. The fact that
recently two young Americans did re-

conclusion that Americans have alb

man has been spending the summer at
famous European pleasure resort,
also patronized by large number Of
society folk from this country. Ten
mis- has been the favorite sport of the
young folks from "the States" and the
prince, who is splendid player, made
a great many friends among them.
One Saturday afternoon he had been
watching with great interest the bril-
liant play of Bernard Dell, the we'll
known athlete of Princeton Univer-
sity. The game over, he asked Mr..
Dell to play a single with him on the
morrow.
Sorry" said Mr.. Dell, "but I never
play games on Sundays"
"But I ask you," insisted the prince.
"Sorry again." replied Mr.. Dell, "but
l cannot go against my religious prin-
ciples-not even for YOU"
Well, this was situation with
which the prince had never had to
cope before in the whole course of his
life, for when royalty says IT ask" it
means nothing else but 'I command"

the resort, suddenly made up his
mind that his American friends should
be his guests as we'll and, forthwith,
he walked to the tennis courts and
asked" all of them. Now it happen
ed that a Philadelphia girl was also
to give party on the day the royal
Germans were to be in the place and.
as the prince knew, the Americans
were to be her guests. So when the
invitation to attend his dinner was
given the Americans politely declined
it, saying that they would not disap-
point Miss Blank for worlds" Then
they resumed their game as if moth
ing had happened. The prince was
astounded. Could it be possible that
any one should dare to turn down q
last-minute invitation issued by one
of royal blood? That ordinarily un-
titled human beings should not be
willing, yes, should not jump at the
chance to cancel any other engage
ment for the honor of sitting at his
table was most amazing. But what
could he do about it? Nothing, obvi-
ously. He tried to work off little of
his indignation by giving out the state
ment that we were rude and .unman,
nerly, but the Americans, who had
treated him quite as if he were a
somewhat too naughty young society
man, didn't seem to mind greatly.
European society, however, is much
excited over the affair, one section sid
ing with the prince, maintaining that
the invitation of a member of reign
ing house should be regarded as
royal command by everybody, without
distinction of nationality; while on
the other hand, all the Americans and
great many Europeans are taking
the part of Mr.. Dell and the girl, argu-
ing that they were not impolite and
only acted quite as sensible young
Americans should.
