PRINCE IN SCOTLAND.

JOKES WITH WORKLESS,

LONDON, April C.

The Prince of Wales' three-day tour of Scotland was undertaken in order that he might examine the response to an appeal for social service on behalf of the unemployed.

There was no stage-managing, with nicely-washed, selected hands for the Royal shaking, but freo movement among the crowds, the Prince specially attending pastime centres, including a rehearsal by boys preparing for a nigger minstrel concert.

When the question was asked, "Why are black horses used for funerals and white for weddings?" the Prince interjected, "Why?" and joined in the laughter when told "To pull the carriages."

He watched a woman jiu-jitsu instructor's bout with a man, whom she easily defeated, and told her that it must be nice to be able to bring a man to his knees so easily. / Ho talked with members of a sports club on fitness, saying he had had to abandon riding and now could only play golf—and that badly.

When he was three-quarters of an hour late at his destination, he explained that he had slowed down his motor at every point on a 50-mile route where children had gathered, saying, "I liko to see the kiddies and hate to disappoint them by hurrying past."
