From the London Express;
 Under the title, sPrince Charming n Paris" NJ. Andre de Fouauieres contrib utes to the review. "Je Sais Tout the account of an interview which he had with the Prince of Wales at Damperre, on the occasion of the fete given in the Princes honour by the Due de Luynes.
 Observing that the Prince did not join the groups of dancers on the lawn in the castle grounds NJ. de Fouqueres asked him if he did not tcare for dancing.
 No" answered the Prince. T am fond qt what we in England call the simple he. My tastes are rather those of-how do you style it--the tastes of-.a gentle man farmer. I adore sports of every kind, of course, prefer some more than others, but there are none which l do not like.
 Tt is not really sport to which give the preference. Still one may think 1t a sport but I cannot call it that myself
 What may that be then. sir?'
 Tt Is the navy: We all love the navy in England. As for melt is a religion. 1 have always loved it. When l was little boy l was never so happy as during our visits to Osborne, in the Isle of Wight, for then saw the sea and the ships: You will therefore, understand how delighted l was with the voyage to Tou- ion on which they sent me. As for your fleet, it is admirable. You have splendid ships; your sailors are marvellous at their l naneuyers:"
 ''Still. sir" observed NJ. de Fouquieres, you in your country have a wonderful fleet"
 The French Tar Certainly" the prince replied. ''our gsef lowe H..At 4ef. notable one, but in France I have been struck by something that is not to be found elsewhere to that degree-that Is, the gaiety the good cheer, the vim, the joy of work, the joy in doing the set task that is something altogether special.
 You are not able to take account of this, because you are French and you yourself participate in the gaiety. It is different with us We, always phlegmatlc and silent as we arc, take good account Of it, and it attracts us and captiyates us.
 You Frenchmen possess something that l shall call tho science of rhythm. it is thing that Is difficult to describe l am not very great at music, but | find more snbtlety and precision in the move ments of your sailors than in the move ments of ours. Look here. do not know that l can compare it better to anything than to dancing. We. no doubt, have in teresting dances. and good dancers. too, but we cannot approach you in that re- spect.
 All the same, sir" suggested NJ, de Fouqueieres, "the jig and all the other dances imported from England into France
 Believe me. we do not dance as you do here; We take steps in measure, that is easy enough but we have not, as you have, the sense of rhythm so finely dc veloped
 At that moment Mir. Hansell, the princes tutor, approached, and asked him if he would not put on an overcoat, as 1t was chilly
 No" replied the prince. 'I am not child. I am an Oxonian."
 How is that sir" said NJ. de Fou- queres, you. the Prince of Wales, are going to attend the university"
 Certainly am. I shall stay two years at Oxford. And do not imagine that 1 shall feel bored there. I am delighted to lead the happy life of English students, life such as I love, the simple life much sport work. and quietude I shall go to Magdalen the divine tower of Magdalen, as your Paul Bourget calls 1t,
