."Zooks Like the Prince MAY Settle Dean .

r y ELL ali know is what read in
the papers. What do you know
M about the Prince of Wales get
ting married? Looks like the
Kid is going to settle down.
You remember couple of lessons back
was telling you about old Henry the
9th doing all his rough and tumble mar
rying, Well you know these Titled Birds seem
to have one tradition that they are pretty
jealous OF, and that is that it is bred into them
to try and cop on Princess if possible. Course
some times the Boys 60 out among the plebians
ana take spouse to WIFE, but they just prac-
ticaIy ruin themselves with the rest of their
family.
We had a lot of Gals over here that went
practically haywire when the Prince was over
here, and they would practically cut of q leg
to dance with him, and II he had been out
strictly for money I expect he could have
picked up more over here than anywhere else
In the world, So it does go to their credit that
they don't always go out for a monetary con-
sheraton It's just as tell you it's this Grab
OF Princess" idea that Is so deeply rooted in
them, that they are always out for that first.
Now take two or more PrinceSSes, and let one
of them possess little more of the Worlds
goods than the other can not say that that
would make any difference in his choice but
she would be the one that he would pick Course
that may be accidental, but it always happens,
so there Is a chance that it is premeditated
Here is the way the whole thing is done
King George and Queen Mary have one of the
Prlvy council bring in Directory Of all the
living royal families, that are really operating
now. When Russia and Germany dropped out
that almost ruined the Directory; they had to
tear out 20 pages don't care how royal your
blood is, and how far your breeding goes back,
II you are not at the present time employed
in the business of ruling why there is NO more
thought Of marrying into your family than we
have If all the members of q family happen
to be at the time incarcerated In q iail
Now there Is just thousands Of Russians that
are eligible and their breeding Is as about as il
ever was, but as far as matrimony with some
reigning family, they are just what you might
call null and void. England Is especially handi-
capped In this present crisis as they have al
ways used Germany as mating ground, in fact
the English family have just learned to speak
what little English they do In the last couple
Of generations. They was all kin, and they Just
Kept their marriages IN the family, little thing
like being cousin, or an Aunt, dident stop
them in the least. Well you see all that avail
able talent is now out of the question. The late
big war not only showed that civilization don't
pay, but it just eliminated over 10 per cent Of
crop OF available wives and husbands that a
self respecting Prince had to pick from.
Well now we have them eliminated lets get
back to the ones left. The King and Queen take
the list and 60 over it carefully. You would
think they was looking for q telephone num-
Der. Instead Of taking the numbers alphabetical
south as you can safely pick up a wife
Now they take Italy. They have an awfuIly
nice bunch of Processes. Their Mother was a
Monte -negroian, and their Father an Italian.
But they cant consider them. Why? On account
OF Gentleman named Mussoiini, they never
know when he Is liable to get peeved at them
and declare the whole shebang Republic. Well
that would do away with any standing that the
Royal family had. Now suppose the Prince was
betrothed to an Italian Princess, and Mussolini
went on a rampage, Well, see she would lose
her Amateur standing, and become just pro-
fessional commoner. Well that would mean
that he would have the right to annul the en-
gagement or even II they was already married,
1t would give him the right to be divorced. for
