PRINCE OF WALES.

VISITS FRIED FISH SHOP, NOT A REGULAR CUSTOMER. Mrs. R. Taylor, who keeps a fried fish shop at, Clapton, London, viisit recently from the Prince of Wales, Mrs. Taylor said later: "I was busily serving customers when in walked a young man I did not know. ' Good evening, Mrs. Taylor,' said he, holding out his hand. 'Good evening, sir,' I said, wiping my hand on my apron. ' I'm very well, thank you,' I said. I couldn't place him at all. You see, I know nearly everyone round here, and nearly all my customers are regulars. " Then I noticed Father Eves, of All Souls', and other gentlemen in the doorway, and Father Eves came forward and said: ' This is the Prince of Wales, Mrs. Taylor.' Well, I nearly fell into my frying machine! " The Prince laughed, and asked me about my shop. ' Looks jolly clean, and smells good,' says he. * How long have you been here?' When I told him I had been here 27 years, he said: ' Well, you know- all about it by now. I hope you are doing well.' "The Prince was so interested in; the making up of the popular portions, ' a one and a one,' and ' a two and a one ' which the customers asked for while he was there. He stood looking on, and then he asks me: " ' But what would you do if I asked for a one and a two?" I says: ' I should give you one of fish and two of potatoes.', Everybody laughed. So did the Prince."
