were in the same places. Though
he arrived by train, his entry to
New York was in launch from the
New Jersey side, so that he might
be properly impressed by the profile
Of Manhattan-the Sierra of sky
scrapers. And he told those who
were his companions on the trip
Men and women appeal to me even
more than sights" He himself said
that his second great impression was
the most warm and friendly well
come that followed me all through
the drive in the city"
At City Hall the Prince expressed
real pride at now being a freeman
of the two greatest cities-London
and New York-so much akin and
upon which depends to an extra
ordinary degree the financial health
and the material as well as the
spiritual welfare of all continents"
He was driven through Central
Park, out Riverside Drive, past Gen.
Grants tomb. He reviewed COM
pany of English-Americans who
had fought in the World War. Dur
ing his stay in New York he had
his quarters on the Renown, the
vessel which brought him to the
American shores and took him back
home. His first night in the me-
tropolis he was guest at a formal
dinner in the Waldorf Astoria,
given by Mrs. Henry P. Davidson
on behalf of the Council of the
American Red Cross-then he was
rushed off to the Metropolitan Opera
House. He was much impressed
and amused at the Great White
Way" and the kaleidoscope of sky
nigh manikins and performing elec-
trio signs.
Opera Sensation.
At the opera house Caruso was
singing "Pagliacci" AS he entered
the orchestra swung into God
Bless the Prince of Wales" and he
was called extraordinarily embar-
raSSed, to the front of the box. He
stood in the stark searchlight of
thousands of eyes, blushing, most
uncomfortable but determinedly
because it happened to be his lob,
just then. In his box were two i'm
posing gilt chairs. He had them
taken out and the box filled with
smaller chairs and he had his
friends in to chat with him during
interludes in the program. Gen.
Pershing was one of his guests and
drew applause.
Though Rosina CALI was surpris-
ing herself in her dances, the opera
giasBes wers trained rather upon the
Prince. After the opera the Prince
took walk. He visited the Bowery,
better lighted than Whitechapel,
Next day he studied Wall Street and
the temples of high finance. He saw
the shopping crowds. He visited the
Subtreasury and marveled at the
miracle work of the money counters.
There he marked coin to test
the delicate touch Of the teller whose
fingers flashed through a pile of
perfect coins and flipped out the
marked coin.
The late Mrs. Whitelaw Reid gave
a ball for him in her spacious Madi-
son avenue residence. He accom-
panied Maj. Maud Ballington Booth
to the horse show at the old Madison
Square Garden for the benefit of
the Salvation Army.
Reviewed West Point.
The Prince made a trip to West
Point and reviewed a dress parade
was given the academic cheer, ad-
dressed the cadets and was saluted
with the college whistle-a UNIQUE
ceremony that put the seal on his
visit. That night the Prince played
host at dinner to his New York
friends on the Renown. His last day

Lord Lyons, that he or some other
staunch supporter of the Northern
cause should visit England in much
the same way as the prince had
visited America. Lord Lyons gave
it no favor, pleading chronic lack
of faith in foreign missions.
Wheelbarrow Proposal.
The Prince Of Wales on that con-
sequential mission might actually
have been pushed into the United
States in a wheelbarrow over tight
rope stretched over Niagara Falls.
He was sportively inclined to accept
the proposal of the French acrobat,
Blondin, but the managers of his
party sternly prohibited. He had
witnessed Blondin, in celebration of
his visit, push the barrow from the
Canadian to the American shore on
the tightrope and return on stills.
His last public ceremony before
entering America was to lay the
crowning stone on monument on
Queenstown Heights in memory of
Maj. Gen. Sir Isaac Brock, who had
fallen in conflict on this battlefield
where the British defeated the
Americans in the War of 1872.
The prince, on September 20,
1860, crossed from Windsor to De-
troit, then fourishing town. Lord
Lyons, the British Minister, as
sumed charge in Detroit for the
duration of the princes trip in the
United States, where he Travelled
in a private capacity. But the
people gave him royal welcome. The
critical presidential campaign which
returned Lincoln to the White
House for second term was in
progress and aroused the interest of
the visiting prince. Noting this,
Senator Charles Sumner in a letter
to John Evelyn Denison, speaker
of the House of Commons, and pre-
served at Windsor, wrote: "It seems
as If young heir long absent was
returning to take possession"
Middle West Tour.
Tfrongs gathered at all stations
as the prince in directors car on
special trains toured through rising
cities of the Middle West and to
thriving cities on the Atlantic Coast.
His first stop was at Chicago, new
town of $4,000 population. He next
spent two days around Dwight, ILL.,,
prairie shooting for prairie chicken,
quail and crane. Thence to st.
Louis, his farthest west stop. VIM
ston Churchill in "The Crisis" gives
a spirited picture of the prince S
visit to the fair. There is one fair, "
he wrote, which old Louisianans
still delight to recall-that of the
autumn of 1860-when his royal
highness came to St. Louis and
beheld 100000 people at the fair. y
He spent nearly four hours at a
stretch watching trotting matches.
He was given ovations in Cincinnati
and Pittsburgh, crossed the Ale
ghany Mountains to the State capi-
tai in Harrisburg where he accepted
the invitation of the governor to
'sit in the chair in which Hancock
had signed the Declaration of Inde-
pendence" In Baltimore the Wash
ington Monument reminded him of
the Duke of Yorks column in
London.
The chief episode of this American
tour was the princes entertainment

dent Buchanan's private guest at the
White House, while the rest Of his

While George VI of Great Britain
and his Queen Elizabeth are the
first ruling English sovereigns ever
to visit this country, 1t must be re-
membered that he is following a
good old family custom, because
three sons of reigning British mon
archs have set an example and Gus
tom OF good will tours through the
United States.
Fourth Royal Guest.
Three reigning monarchs of other
countries have been guests Of this
Nation-now $50 years old. So King
George VI comes as the fourth
really royal guest. The others were:
The Emperor of Brazil, in 1876; the
King of the Belgians, in 1919, and
the King of Siam, in 1881.
This country has invariably given
ovation, warmth and sincerity of
welcome, widely varied entertain
ment and frequently substantial
financial assistance to distinguished
visitors or missions from foreign
governments. Undoubtedly the most
picturesque and heart warming
greeting throughout the length and
breadth of the then United States
was that for the aged Gen. Lafay-
cite, who had brought his sword
and fortune to aid this country in
its world amazing successful fight
for liberty. 1t is equally as certain
that the visit of the earlier Prince
of Wales, later King Edward VII
and grandfather of the more recent
Prince of Wales and the Nation S
present guest, the reigning SOW
ereign George vi, had the most mo-
mentous political influence. 1t per-
suaded England to follow policy
of non-intervention during the des-
perate days of the Civil War. AS
~'Oncle de l'Europe" he also set
an example which influenced the
recent visit of another grandson,
Crown Prince Olaf of Norway, son
of his daughter, the late Queen
Maud. and of Crown Prince Freder-
lex and Crown Princess Ingrid of
Denmark, cousins of Edward Wis
Queen Alexandra.
In thus mentioning the vista
tions of cousins across the sea and
the growing custom of international
good tours for better mutual
understanding, it is interesting to
note that King George VI and
Queen Elizabeth are distant cousins
and that, according to her father,
she is a direc. descendant from
Robert Bruce of Scotland
First Royal Guest.
The son of George III, Prince Will
Nam, Duke of Clarence (who later
was King William IV), our first Wis
itor of royal blood, came as mid
shipman at the age of II, in Sep
tember, 1781, five years after the
Declaration of Independence had
been signed, but before the inde-
pendence of the Colonies had been
acknowledged by Great Britain
Gen. Howes army still occupied
New York. The Prince was the spe-
cial charge of Admiral Digby, R. N
He was put up in the old Beekman
House, Hanover Square, and had
as a boon companion Israel Halleck
then 10 years of age. Halleck later
had a son, Fitz-Greene Halleck, the
famous poet.
The Prince was fond of sports
and he and Halleck enjoyed skating
on a pond at the outskirts of the
city, called the Collect, which is now
the site of the city's Tombs Prison
There the Prince nearly lost his life
He ventured on thin ice, broke
through and was with difficulty res
eued by his pal Halleck. He also
escaped plot to kidnap him. He
was shipped to Bermuda, didn't

We saw something definitely new

We don't talk about oil burners at

rather because this is the ideal time
to put an oil burner in your home.

are made Of durable. welded, all-steel
construction in q wide variety Of
shapes and sizes for both wall and
base cabinet use, and the baked en-
amel finish Of shiny white should
stay bright and clean for many q
year. Not only that, but all sorts Of
tricky ideas have been incorporated
In Their construction which should
make them very pleasant things to
have around.
For instance, the cabinets have
been put together with q flush type
construction which makes them very
easy to clean. Even the old-fash-
ioned door catches have been elm
mated and have been replaced with
concealed spring operated hinges.
The shelves are made Of steel wire
like a refrigerator so that it is easy
for you to look around and find out
whether or not the cupboard is
bare. They are also easy to remove
for the cleaning operation.
Then you will find that drawers
work much differently on these new
cabinets. Instead Of having to fight
with sticky drawers, or badly warped
ones, these metal drawers run on
roller-bearing guides which make it
q mere matter Of the touch of a
f1nger to open or close them. The
