For eas- aian'le, at a, villege on the veldt in South Atriea, a'nativer 'cabman showed the Palace .withesOme pride her Child- ren six boysand one baby girl. , The enterpreter informed. the Prince, of their names,. When he came to tbe baby girl he told 'the Prince that the ohild was yet unnamed and that the mother would feel deeply honored a the Prince would name her, ; to take a. day off and enjoy some home, of really needed rest when he reached ,1 the Village. Bat on his arrival he was presented with the invitation to the wedding; he at once agreed to accept it and duly The requeet took the Prince cam- eletely abaolt. He was for a moment quite unprepa.red with a suitable sug- gestion. But his royal highness was only nonpluesed for the briefest space. He suggested, the name Dawn; it was received wide delight by the mother and the baby was so named ea the It was a fairly frequent trial of the Prince during his tour that the days, set apart to give him a. rest from the keeping of public engagements, had to be sacrificed in order that he might attend some enteetainraent got up un- expectedly. A Kiss for the Eride. One et thee little entertainments was a native wedding. The Coreffiney had been, hastily arranged to take place so as to coincide with the Prime's arrival at the village. The Prinoe antieipated being able beetoweel a kiss -another lineltneeted dirty -on the bride. At one' little town the Prinee had agreed to play a roend of of with a local olearapien.

I With Midget Clubs, I But there was another circumstance, still more dieconcertin,g-his royal' bighness found that he was expected to play not with his own olubs, but with a weird colleetioa of "irons" not more than a foot in length. Tile Prince snit up with a bad do-. feat with the best of grace, gratefully accepting the strange clubs that were, • presented to him after the match. The worst trial that befell was, the long delay in Chile, necessitated by the unexpected heavy enowfall in the• • Andes. That delay meant the total upset of the Paints's program in the Argentine, which had to be rearranged by cable, • This was a necessarily difficult task and kept the Prince's secretarial staff at work day and night. The ,Prince himself (remained up one entire night settling the details with his staff. A great trial to th.e Price in con- neetion with all his -tours has been the long train journeys. His royal high- nes,s' restlessness of dispositioe ,makes , detest sitting still for hoursin a , train. He wont play cards and does not like reading. When it is practice able the Prince alights frem the royal special ,and takes anything from a M - teen to thirty mile walk, -while the special is seat ahead, During his pre- sent tour the Prince in this way has waked several hundreds, of miles.
