You may expect to see slim and
wiry chap with the flaming eyes Of n

But he is not like that. He is rather
a squat boy, with broad shoulders,
grave features, steady, serious Oyes,
and large head full of common sense
lin appearance exactly what he was

cry. He is a good boy, more Jealous
of his reputation as a clean man than
of his fame as a scourge of the skies.

AMERICAN PRINCESS OF WALES?

The matrimonial future of the
prince of Wales is much discussed in
London these days. The Daily Express,
for instance, recently devoted two col
umns to the subject, pointing out that
the war has narrowed the choice for
the royal marriage. There is no pos
sibility now of a German princess be-
coming queen of England, and a vast
tragedy has obliterated the Russian
royal family.
AS regards marriageable prin-
cesses in other European countries
the Express says that Princess 9o-
Ianda of Italy Is ineligible on religious
grounds. Princess Helena Of Greece
is no longer talked Of as the future
queen, and although one of the Rou-
manian princesses might be chosen

thusiasm.
"The fact Isl" says the Express,
"that there is q keen desire that the
prince shall be allowed to choose for
