H.R.H. THE PRINCE OF WALES.

Mr. G. Ward Prive, who is attached to the. Prines as Official Correspondent on his tour to South Africa and the Argentine writes in the Sondag Pie-l torina ፈር March 22nd.This sevo months' tour coal the Crown Colo nies of West Africa, the Union of South Africa and those rich young nations of South America with which we are, enn- nected by close cațiumercial ties will mark the sud of a definite stage in the Piner's
CATCTE
When the Prince comes back to this country in the autumn it will, be to settle down at home in a more perma- nent way than the duties of his position have hitherto allowed.
For, ever since he reached manho: the strong sense of public serrio which is the most striking characteristic of our British Royal Family has imposed upair the Prince of Wales an exceptionally | restless and unsettled mode of life.
. First of all the war took him abend OD active service; and, since that end- ed; the iesire both of his father an himself has kept the Prince at the pro tracted task of becoming personally ne quainted with all parts of our far ung Empire.

But now the last stage of his long ap-] |prenticespik" to his life's work-is-twing
reached.
When his forthcoming Fotie is over- Rivea or right months hence, there is good reason to hope and believe that the Priser of Wales will be able to turn his attention to another matter, in which large numbers of his future subjects feel the keenest interest that of chousing a wife.
It is a direct result of the Prince'a high personal popularity with the n tion that the public wish to s him make a happy marriage is so strong and with spread.
His character and bearing have a charm; which has created in millions of Bri- 'tish men and women" who have never go much as set eyes upon him in the flesh the feeling of a personal bond uniting; him and them
