PRINCE AND MARRIAGE.
“During 12 hours of every day I have to be what other people want me to be. The rest of the time I can be myself. If I married I should have to spend the rest of my time being what my wife wanted me to be.” That, declares Mr. Evelyn Graham, in a frank and well-informed article in the November “Britannia and Eve,” is the explanation given by the Prince of Wales himself of why he does not marry. But Mr. Graham who speaks with authority as the biographer of many Royal personages adds another reason. He says : —“There are plenty of women who have most of the qualities that he requires. There are plenty whom it would be politic for him to marry. There is none with whom he has yet fallen in love. That is why he is still a bachelor,” The writer gives a character sketch of the kind of woman —be has five in mind—who would make a suitable partner for the Prince.
