You arc right in saying in the issue which has just reached me that 1 here is no serious idea of letting1 "the Prince of Wales go to America. With your usual astuteness, you will have observ ed that there are certain American papers which live up to the motto, "When in doubt play the Prince of Wales ," and which trouble themselves no whit about the accuracy of their so-called "news." It is true, however, that H. R. H. has remarked, on sev eral recent occasions, that he would "jump at the chance" of going; he said so particularly to one charming lady, adding at the same time that "there was no chance existing, worse luckl" Your contemporaries did not derive their rumors from this fact, I will wager, Vmce they had no possible opportunity of becoming' cognizant of it! The good gentlmcnis very cheer ful still. "The Tory," as he alwayss calls his daughter is in. evoted at tendance. She is less reserved with him -than anyone. Many people were surprised at her ready consent to stay behind with him instead of going to Denmark with her mother, espe cially as she thus misses the chance of seeing Frincess Maud, her married sister; but the fact is that there is a small mystery surrounding that Kt tle lady. She remains in Copenhagen possibly for reason of nealtiv whereas her mother and the rest of the Danish Royal family ore at Bern storff; moreover, the Princess of Wales hardly sees anything' of -her. Either there has been some little ""tiff" between her and her own peo ple or whicli is more likely he has at last found it politic to aviod ex citing the jealousy of her new rela tions, which was powerfully excited when she made the -abortive auempt to wean Prince Charles Irom his al legiance to his own country. The Prince of Wales promptly "threw her over" then; and I fancy the high spirited girl has never forgiven this. The Prince's knee is not going on as well as the doctors would like. I mean that its progress is very slo'w. When the president of the college of surgeons was first called in, the Prince, in his- cheery way, said, "It might have been worse, you know; I might have broken my leg!" Sir W. McCormac gruffly said: .Vish' you had!" He saw the possibilities of the future. The Duke of Marlborough has had trouble again with his throat, and has gone to Mount Dore under advice. The Duke of Westminster has caus ed a good deal of amusement by a let ter to the papers. "M. A. P." that very enterprising if somewhat daring personal sheetr-had a paragraph about him lately. The Duke writes to contradict the statement that he was named Jack Sheppherd at school "be- cause he was so plain" (he says iP was becuse his hair was so short); he also denies that has income is 400, 000 it is not half as much. Further, he begs to say that the rents of his London houses do not full in exactly one shilling per house! I sympathize with His Grace; but Teally he might have let the Jack Sheppard incident alone! What can it matter to a man of sixty-one if he did get called "plain" at school? Mrs. Gladstone has been taken by her family to a Welsh health resort. She is very well, considering all things, but quite vacant, poor old. lady! She hardly seems to know what is going on around her, and will sit for hoars in a sort of a dazed silence. Another item of Welsh, news is that Adelina Patti has obtained from the Bosun Catholic authorities permis sion for a priest to live at Craig-y- I fr -- - . - " " " Stiljitio-SaliriLe Sanitarium, Cor.

This has surprised the world, but not her friends, who knew that she was all along deeply attached to her religion and seCre..y miserable under the ban which her connection with Nicolini brought upon- her. Her Greek marriage to him was, of course, regarded by the church as no mar riage at all, and therefore stood in the way of her being admitted to the religious observances necessary for in clusion "within the pale." But of late years her relations with him' were purely p'atonic; and when she was in London or on the continent, her greatest consolation was to go quietly to some church and hidelierself in'the crowd of worshippers. Undoubtedly she was wretched during her most brilliant years on account of her sev erance from her faith. On one occa sion, a young woman, a Catholic, of course, wrote her an earnest letter, urging an admiration amounting- to affection as an excuse for the liberty, pointing out that no worldly success could satisfy the soul. "I cam see by your face that you are not happy," she said; and went on to promise Pat ti her own lifelong prayers. In con clusion, she asked the diva, instead - answering the letter, to send her pho tograph as a sign that she was not offended, and, "as a proof that you, too, long for the day wnen true peace can be yours." Apparently Patti de tected the sincerity of the unconven tional appeal, for she sent a magnifi cent panel photograph one that was never seen in public and signed it "Adelina Patti-Nicolini," underlining the last name as though to intimate that there lay the obstacle to the hope which she shared with her unknown friend. If the woman She can be no longer young who made that vow of intercession be still living, she is prob ably happy in the fulfillment of her desire. The story for the truth of which I can vouch is one to make us worldly folk pause and wonder.
