Youth turns to youth us .\aturally as the flowers lift their faces to the sun (says the Sydney "Sunday Times"). And it is surprising what an abnormal idea of age the really youttifnl givl o{ toy has. Thirty to them is :iuite staid, and middle aged, and the comments of young things on healthy, normal, much'-alive thirty oftentimes comes with a shock, and is most disconcerting. When the Civic Fathers sit in solemn conclave to discuss tho proper ways and means of entertaining the young Prince during'his visit, they should not overlook the demands of the Imperial visitor's youth, and should make plans accordingly. AVe are'given to'understand that the J'rincc is a normal,' healthy, pleasant young man, who loves outdoor games and dancing. It is the duty of those who plan to entertain him to see that he gets v-hat he likes. AVo want the I'rinee to see mid to know cur young people, jv-rticu-larly the girls. Our girls are handsome and intelligent onough to he splendid company for a prince. AA'c have superfluous evidence that America was not backward in drawing the young Prince's attention to tho charmsl o£ its girls, nor should Australia miss.Jtnis Tare opportunity of gathering together tho f.-.ircst of its youth. AViicii the State balls ate arranged, the organisers should pre lliat the guests who predominate are in l;eep:ng with the young Prince's age. Who knows but that the young Prime may not wish to pick a wife from the subject.? of his father's Dominions? AVhy "not an Australian wife? Australian's seem to have the happy knack of adapting themselves to any circumstances or positions, and there are thousands who could charmitiffly fill the role of : neon. Tho Civic Fathers should see that tho girls pot their chance, and banquets, receptions, and lengthy speeches should give plare on the entertainments programme to .balls, picnics, tennis parties, and moonlight excursions. Evrrv time we. have distinguished v'isifovs the fcasti»T and the fun g:> fa a wlect few; on this occasion an I 'effort 'hould be made to ensure the enjr.ymont of the guest as well ii.s of the hosts. Each municipality should be given cards of entry fit- n chaporone nnd ct least, hnlf.n dozen of it* most popular girls to the balls and parties. Wedding in Masterton.
