Prince of Wales. and even today. with all
the advantages he has had. he speaks
German haltingly and French with a
broad and almost laughable English ac-
cent. During his stay in Paris his hosts
and those who have been invited to meet
him have had some difficulty in following
him in conversation.
The young prince became devoted to his
tutor and of late months could not suffer
even the shortest separation from him.
He consults him upon the smallest mat
tiers and follows his advice without CUES
ton. This utter dependence upon an
other has had the effect Of undermining
his self reliance and Is deplored. espe-
cially by his mother. When the prince
went to Osborne College to undergo his
short training for the navy, an attempt
was made to Ctand him on his own feet
so to speak, and Hansel remained at
Buckingham Palace instead of accom-
panying his charge. But the young
prince was not to be denied the assist
ance Of his friend. and wrote him a long
letter daily asking his advice on all man
ner of subjects.
Finally came the time for his visit to
Paris, and the queen decided that Edward
should have change of influence. Han
sci is an ideal tutor. she declared. pos
sessed of all the qualities fitting man
for the position of mentor TO a young
prince, but Edward was approaching the
estate of man and now needed different
type of man as adviser. Hansel was the
exact opposite of the man of the world
who she now thought would be an ideal
companion for her son, the future King
Of England. The tutor had spent most
Of his life in schoolrooms. and had never
rubbed shoulders with the experiences

head in the giddy round of social di-
version in which the young prince was to
move in later life. In other words, the
prince had too long been boy: let him

thought differently. They viewed with
concern the prospect Of putting the I'M
sophisticated princeling down in the heart
Of gay Paris. King George has always
treated Edward as a mere boy, and seems
determined not to recognize that he is
growing older. To watch the two to-
gether one would gather the impression
that the boy was still in his early teens.
The queen has often expostulated, but the
young prince does not seem to care. As
a matter of fact. he. wOrships his ia
Their and thinks he is the greatest man
now walking the earth.
With father and mother at variance
about the boys training, there threaten
ed to be a serious rupture between the
two. when the young prince decided the
subject was under discussion In the fam
lily circle, every one was surprised to hear
him interpose the following

of Connaught. He was an undergrad
uate of Magdalen College, oxford, the
same college to which the prince will go
up for term In the fall. There. be-
cause of his great height. he was known
by the nickname of Chang" after
famous Chinese giant, who at that time
was amusing the London theatrical
world. From Magdalen he went to G.
O. Smiths school for the aristOcracy at
New Barnet where he became one Of the
most popular of tutors.
When Lord Dalmeny, son and heir of
Lord ROsebery, was casting about for a
holiday tutor his choice fell upon Han
sci. who did his work so we'll that he re-
ceived the still more important post OF
tutor to Prince Arthur of Connaught.
From that post he went to Marlborough
House. He is tall. dark-mustached
man, with a remarkable charm Of man
ner, and Immediately became a great
favorite with the children, and especially
with the Prince of Wales. The king and
queen became so attached to him that
they reposed the utmost confidence in
his regulations for the teaching OF the

was spoken on these occasions. In addi-
