The Misses Kouns. formerly of To-

vocalities made the audience reluctant
to let them go. When Nellie sings you
think her voice is the best, and when
Sara carols forth you think hers is

you think-"that is some singing"
Anyway they are gifted young women

PRINCE Of WALES
VOTED A NICE KID

Rome, June l5--(By Maii) After
very much admired. applauded, dined,
tead and received during his visit. the
Prince OF Wales lett incognito. and
few outside those responsible for his
safety and woll-being during his visit
knew he had left the city till they read
of his arrival in Northern italy.
For many years no young scion Of
royalty has had such a warm reCep-
ton or been so quickly installed in
peoples affection as the Prince Of
Wales. His youth. his modesty and,
above all, his simplicity. made every
body like him for his own sake as
rauch as for what his visit at such a
moment represented
Several American aviators had
quiet chats with him at the bar Of the
Grand hotel. the rendezvous OF every
uniform In the allies service. with
out knowing who he was. They saw
a very young British staff officer and
spoke TO him. He offered them drinks
which they accepted asked him where
he had been lately and what he had
heard of the Italian front. Questions
about Rome, answered as any young
man would answer them, lie - more
drinks and a proposal that the whole
party meet again that evening.
A young American said: Captain,
why don't you come with US to the
Apollo tonight2"
What's that?" asked Edward Al
bert
oh, n vaudeville" answered the
American, while his comrade eX-
planned that it was like an English
music hall.
The Prince of Wales sighed. and
answered:
Don't wish could go But
have another engagement"
Then cut It," said the American.
Afraid l can't"
And he left shortly afterward and
only then did the Americans learn
that he was the Prince of Wales But
they still regarded him as a very
nice sort of kid"
Everywhere he went the Prince
showed a desire to mix with everyday
people and discuss things in a simple
straightforward way. And American
as well as British old ladies certainly
discussed him enough to make his ears
/ burn for n month Arguments as to
whether or no It was against the Brit
ish constitution for him 10 marry one

how the pope could manage 1t, and
what the British parliament would

France together and that the young
man had told him he had no intention
