Hence. the whole matter is one of capturing an efficient prince, princess or royal duke, says Pew son‘s Weekly. The writer has it from a friend whose position in attendance on the royal family makes his word quite incontestible. that numerous at- tempts were essayed to make King Edward, when Ptince of Wales. tho bait to attract the nobility to the houses of wealthy people who hank- ered after titled friends. Such at- tempts were never. of course. made directly, but generally through an equerry or other member of the roy- al suite. and always glossed over in the most delicate manner possible. For instance. in the Diamond Ju- bilee year a certain American mil- lionaire made a frantic attempt to get into the best London society, and received a series of blighting ‘snubs in consequence, as he had not ‘i the most excellent character in the I world. His final effort, the failure of ’ which completely extinguished liiin, '7 was in arranging an elaborate party 3 to which the richest of his compat- g riots staying over in London wvro g to be invited. lie Wrote to the "“Prince saying that a party Was to G. be given. and that during the even- Paint: a. collection Would be made on S ‘belmli 0f the .
