DETERMINED AMERICAN GIRL
TRAVELS 5000 MILES. TO DANCE WITH PRINCE OF .WALES. , It is remarkable to what extremes people will go in o refer to get a dance witu the Prince of Wales. When he was in America on his first visit to the States there was a young woman who had tried through the most influential Americans to get an invitation to the dances* that the Prince: attended; but all in vain.. This did not dishearten her at all; she just bided her time. Shortly afterwards she heard that the Prince was going on a trip to Africa, and accordingly the moment that be got out there she left America in the first available ship focj Capetown —a voyage of 5000 miles. When the Prince left Capetown to go up country the young woman fob lowed him, and at every town that lie paused she also was there. At last he r pat.eiice wa s rewarded for at a little back-veldt town an impromptu dance was held to which all the town went among them the indefatigable American girl. Fo r precisely two minutes she had the honour of dancing with the Prince of Wales. Then another partner claimed! him. Tiie next morning the persevering young woman was on her way back to America, the wish of her life fulfilled.
