A rather amusing ptory of the Pnnco of Wales, who was in London recently, related by an American correspondent in one of the Chioago newspapers. It seems that the future King of England had retired for a short period from the war front in Franoe, and was walking with a brother officer when lie found the woman driver of an official car in difficulty owing to a breakdown: The two young officers came forward to help her, and the Prince of Wales, who is somewhat of a mechanician, himself, spent nearly twenty minutes in energetic efforts, which happily ended in the engine again running smoothly. As she was thanking her unknown assistants the Prince looked at his watch and remarked "Heavens! I shall be late!" So"the young woman said: "Jump in, and I'll take you anywhere you want. It's the least I can do after the trouble you've pulled me out of. Where do you want to go?" 1 "Thanks, awfully," was the reply, "Home, please." "Where's home?" she inquired, smTling at the way ho had naively imagined his address would be known. It was only when .he replied "Buokingham Palace" that she realised that her principal mechanician had been none other than the Heir Apparent of England and the great British Empire. . The Prince laughed good-humouredly over the incident throughout the trip to the Palace. New Silk Hosiery for ladiea.
