A CAY PRINCE.
It has been recognised for some time that the Crown Prince of Germany is rather too easily impressed by the charms of the opposite sex, and apparently he has yet to learn to exercise a wise discretion in this respect. His tour in the East has afforded several instances of his instability, and during the voyage of the mail steamer Prince Ludwig in the Indian Ocean his conduct on one occasion caused the other passengers considerable embarrassment. A fancy dress ball was in progress, when, to the bewilderment of the dancers, it was suddenly brought to a close at the unexpectedly early hour of eleven o'clock. Subsequently it leaked out that this was done by order of the Crown Princess, who had been greatly piqued to discover that the Prince had been paying exceptional attention to a sprightly young American girl only about seventeen years of age. He had, in fact, entered his name on her programme for as many as nine dances, four of which, however, the couple did not spend in the ballroom.
