tomorrow and although the day Will
not be marked by any general cele-
bration of an official or popular char
acter, it will mean great change in
the life of the young prince and heir
to the British throne. Tomorrow the
provisional regency OF the Queen
created in the event OF the prolonged
absence of or dire misfortune to the
King, terminates, for hencaforth in
any such eventually the Prince Of
Wales, being Of age would be legally
able to take the Kings place, either
as regent or as heir to the throne.
Heretofore the Prince of Wales. al
though the oldest son and prospec-
tive heir of the throne, has enjoyed
few privileges beyond those which
naturally fell to the lot of the royal
children. It is true, the superiority
of his age and position gave him
some advantage over his brothers
and sisters, but like the latter he was
under the strict control and super
vision of his parents, supervision
not merely nominal, but actual and
extending over his family life, his
studies, recreation and associations
All this will in a measure be changed
from now on.
In view of the domestic training
and the strict training and the strict
family discipline to which the young
prince has been subjected all his life,
it is safe to assume that the King
and the Queen will for some time
continue their parental control of the
young princes occupations. pursuits
and studies, but he will have his own
household, including a governor and
comptroller of the household, an
effuerry and two secretaries large
retinue of servants, coachmen and
grooms For his use special separ-
ate suits have been prepared under
the supervision of Queen Mary at
Buckingham and Windsor palaces
and later on adefflate establish
ments will probably be arranged for
the young prince at York House and
Frogmore House. The Prince of
Wales suite at Windsor consists. of
a DINING room, breakfast room, two
reception rooms and bed and dress.
ing ROOM as WE'LL as apartments for
the members of the princes future
household. Similar provisions have
been made for at Buckingham Palace
The young prince will be we'll able
to maintain an establishment of his
own, as his revenues of Duke Of
Cornwall which with his majority,
came under his own control, amount
to about $5OO,O0O a year.
There Is doubt that the Prince of
Wales will not sever himself abrupt
ly from the happy family life to
hich he has been accustomed and
that he will, in large measure con-
iinue to live with his parents, his
brothers and sisters, but he will be
il the position Of socially entertain
ing on his own account in his own
apartment4. In the future he will
receive his invitations direct through
the King.
The Prince of Wales who returned
from Paris with his tutur, Mr.. H. P.
Hansell, the other day, to spend his
eighteenth birthday with his family
will not remain in England long
enough to fulfil any social engage.
ments beyond attending few func-
tons arranged in his honor by GER
tain ladies' of the court, such as
Duchess of Devonshire, the Countess
of Shaftesbury and the Duchess Of
Teck. Accompanied by his tutor tie
Prince of Wales will return to Paris
in a few day and continue his studies
until the Cowes regatta, the first
week in August. He will then go to
Scotland and remain there until
October, then he WI enter Magdalen
College, Oxford. 1t is quite probable
that during his brief stay in Paris
the Prince will be entertained by the
Marquise de FBertauil, the American
wife of the head of one of the most
exclusive families in France. The
Marquise, who was Miss Garner OF
New York, is woman of great tact
and is in a position to give the young
Prince valuable advice in regard to
his social career.
Upon attaining his majority the
Prince of Wales will be the recipient
of many honors. 1t is undertood he
will be promoted to the rank of Lieu
tenant in the Navy. and receive
commission in the Army, being at
tached to the 9th Hussars until such
time as the 10th Hussars return from
India. His former regiment now
forms part of the list cavalry brigade
at Aldershot, and it is expected that
the Prince will pay flying visit to
his brother officers before returning
to Paris.
In due course the Prince, who is
already a Knight of the Garter, will
be made a Knight of the Thistle and
a knight of St. Patrick. He will
also make his first appearance in the
House of Lords, not in his capacity
as Prince of Wales. but as Duke Of
Cornwall. The exact date for this
debut in the House of Lords has not
yet been fixed.
