Geting a Bit Thick But Prince Will See It Thru Respectful Attitude of British Populace Toward Koy ally Afford* Striking Contrast to that of Aineriea Where (iurious ere Not Always ( Courteous By ItnilKUT T KUAl-1, (C<*rrt|fc'. Wi by Th? A?l??nrct New York. Sept. 5. ? It's gel ting "a bit thick" (or the prince of Wales hereabouts, but like hit? countryman Mr. Brlitllng. he is still determined to see it through. England is hulled us one of the I most Democratic countries in ai: the world, but "Davy Windsor ' a> tonu of Bis ihtimaUs-cail him. - -haa never met- ho much Democra cy in the mm a> he-has -*ucoun tercd during the half weel. he has been on American soil. He iris discovered that lh*> average Am erican dearly loves a prince bu*. has not the slightest respect fo. his wish lo be left lo hU own de vices. The prince wants to be consid ered "JusVja plain man." but thus far~be has failed signally to get away with It. It Is because the prince Is red blooded and wants to go where the rest of the crowd goes that he is hu\lng -o :i?uch -inmbt^ ? His equerries in waiting have attempted to camoufla^a His Highness' daily program, but the American admirers of the heir to Britain's throne have come to know that wherever the "big show" is on the prince Is sure to be In the offing. So there are more tumultous days and nights ahead for the prince during his Long Island holiday. There 1* the Wllls-Flrpo fight for Instance next week. Of course the prince will not. but "Davy Windsor* will be there at the ring side to watch thp black man and the bull awing the old mitts at each other. And if the prince thinks a race track throng Is something to ge' away from, wait until he encoun ters the tough eggs that, make up ? so mucK* of a big prize fight crowd. . ... . At the polo games it will be different. That will be higil brow stuff all the way through end high brows have travekrd and know the restraint of the British In the presence of their own roy alties and will be governed ac cordtngly. _ . Being a true sportsman ana ?port lover himself and reachins America at the peak of her sport ing season, it Is difficult for tho prince to keep still. He wants to go to every event of any im portance. He has not been to tno baseball games as yet. That i* 1 one line in which he has not in j dulged. Many persons thought he might get to the Polo Grounds by mistake, but the Giants have been away from home and the grounds that never knew a polo game have been closed. It may Just as well be record ed here that thus far the prince hai been a failure In the mattei of sartorial sensation. He has not been dres*ng a bit. Perhaps It Is on account of the hoat. Tho weather has boen most unkind In that respect and to one accus tomed to the moist cloudy climate of old England the dry and dust> heat of these last few days has been trying to say the least. Tho?? who expected to see th? prince In a topper and cutaway coat al the Labor Day races were doomed to disappointment;" He seems In satiably fond of that ?old gray double breasted stilt In which he landed from tho Berengaria. And the blue shirt boys who bought cerulean chemises early In the present season without knowln*/ the prince was affecting them, have been overjoyed to learn that Hit Highness Is extremely fond of his powder blue repertory and wears the apparel on every pos ulble occasion. Haberdasher;' hereabouts all report a raid on their shelves and what they re garded as a dying vogue has re ceived a sudden resuscitation foi which they are returning many thanks to the royal visitor. The prince's clothes are not nearly so "collegiate ' as we ha<l been led to believe. Apparently many monstrosities have been committed In his name but on tirely without his knowledge und consent. The young man's clothe.i are a bit ray and Jaunty but they are not grotesauo. The trouser; do not flop about tho heels llKo some of his American Imitators Thay are full It la tru?, but Ro man's fashion experts who have been trailing His Highness and "snapping" him from auibuih are all agreed that his troUMra do not measure mora than* 1 1 Inches at the cuff, which 1. rath ?r wide and not narrow like the If it's Mayonnaise or Relish say Gel fand's? all grocers. American cake eater styles of re cent months, it I* a good thine ' the prince got his reputation f.?r good looks uml good dressing tore he pulled that floppy Panama on his unsuspectics American ad mirers. When he first appeared in it he was on his "way t:l ? pin v ~pnto and everyone thought it wu>* Just a knock about affair. I* ft ov er from a year or two ago. Tin sweater and. lh>- well worn Ite.i ford cord breechcs which com pute the first polo outfit seemed entirely in keeping with the shape less bit of head g?-ar. Hut the prince hus stuck to his Panama, with its billowy brim turned down all around, und four <>r five of ins equerries in WHitmg ha v.* I insisted that it really" is the prince' favorite skimmer. Wales is standing the heat very well. He has been to India. He regards the public curiosity as more of a "sock" in the Jaw than the torrid weather. The prince already has learned thut Ameri can expression "sock." and likes it. He "socks" the ball at polo and would like to "sock" a few of the photographers who chase him from pillar to pbst. Some times he has been tempted ti "chuck It" and go on to the Ca nadian ranch, but the boy is game and as already stated, is deter mined to see it through. A delightful story is (old of the prince's first visit to lite White House, when Mr. Wilson was 111. The young man when ushered in to tho sick room was not a bit abashed. He was completely at ease and soon he and the Presi dent were in the midst of a lively and divei ting conversation: This !of course had followed the first formal greetings, the delight of the President to welcome the Uri tish heir and to express his friend ship for the Hritish people; the sympathy of the prince for the stricken President and his deliphl to be in the capital of such a friendly people as the Americans. Guarded as the prince has been on this trip to America, lie war more hedged about on his last visit, which was ofTicial. Just now lie Is "holidaying" in the role of an English gentleman. The prince .felt the irksomeness of the cons tant surveillance and in some 'manner it come Into the conv< r sation with President Wilson. The President smiled broadly. The prince looked at him curious ly. Then the President spoke. "You know, my young friend." h< said, "that your grandfather. I when he was Prince of Wales, vis ited Washington in 1860 and was a guest here at the White House. I am told that he occupied the vary room we are in now and if I am not mistaken this wus the bed in which he was supj?os<d to sleep. I say supposed to sleep, for there Is a legend that he, who was just ns fed up on official functions and surveillance as you are, slipped out of the window uf 1 1 n hi Interest You?
