For the first time since the matri monial experiments of bluff King} Henry the Bighth, there is an excel lent chance of a “commoner” mount ing the throne of England, and hordes of match-making manynas, to say nothing of hundreds of blushing debutantes, who #ix years ago would have admitted themselves ruled out of the contest, realize that the im perial crown is well within thelr | grasp, plus a very presentable Prince Charming, if they can manage “to rope in the Prince of Wales, Among the many social upheavals caused by the war not the least strik ing ta the difference it has made to the Prince of Wales, WitHout a world war, he would certainly have been married—according to plan, and probably before now—to some Ger. Russian or other princess, He t have been given a cholce of three, but his list for selection would have been strictly limited, But with the wiping out of the Russian royal fumily, ind the total eclipse of the German and Austrian dynasties he has been able to call for a pack of cards for himself and claim a fresh deal, FOUR PRINCESSES ARE AVAILABLE In fact, there are only four prin- cesses of suitable ageleft in Rurope. ‘They are the Italian Princesses Yo. Janda and Mafalda, Marie of Ruma nia and Margaret of Denmark. ‘The Italian candidates are Catholics, per: haps not an insuperable obstacle, but anyway the Italian throne is not re- | coms Marga garded as'too stable Just now, a cof sideration which will weigh very heavily when the final decision is taken by the powers that arrange royal marriages, The Danish Prin tis a prime favorite of Queen-Mother Alexandra, but there is no indication that the prince has any views in that direction, while the exponent# of high policy cannot see any advantage to Britain in an allt- ance with poor litte bankrup Ru mania, Were King Albert's daughter five or six years older, high policy would doubtless’ win and an Anglo-Belgian allic be cemmwmated, but Prin coxs Marie {s only 14, and a Prince of Wales cannot wait for her to grow up. nree English princesses are available, two Teck princesses and Maud, younger daughter of the late duke of Fife, but the Tecks have lit- tle wealth or prestige, while the greater part of the Fife fortune went with the title to, the elder daughter, Princess Alexandra, who married Prince Arthur of Connaught, “OLD } KICKI Henee the matehmakers have turned to the “old nobility” of Bug: land, and right here the said old no bility must be kicking itself badly over the fact that it hasn't more marriageable daughters to offer. Taking the three bighest ranks, 4 dukes can only provide 14 daughters | 42 marquises but 15,) able age, earls a paltry 87 eligible can didates. Three-quarters of these would be automatically ruled out thru lack of fortune, personal looks or on account of “ nglements,” dl vorees, eto, of their parents or near relatives, for no scandal must be raked up against the future queen of England, nor can “dubious” relatives of & and be tolerated, | Advocates of Anglo - American friendship are rooting for an Amert- can bride, and the prince has doubt- leas seen plenty of* suitable candi- dates over here, but the wish of the | man-in-the-street undoubtedly is for “Our Young Man" to make an Eng: lish marriage, So far, however, no indication of his choice has been giv- enby the prince himself, not even the most confirmed matchmaker having detected him showing undue partiality for any particular person. There are no very rigid court rules on the subject in England, the con- sent of the king beifig sufficient to satisfy etiquet, and the consent of parliament, which has to be obtained by the heir to the throne in any event, royal or otherwise, Parlia- ment would readily consent to a non- royal bride, and it is generally be- lieved that King George and Queen Mary are desirous of allowing the young prince to choose for himself. Equally with the Prince of Wales, Princess Mary stands a fine chance of being permitted to take a non- royal hushand, for there are no ell- gible princes of her own age left in Europe, The younger princes of England may profit similarly, One of the main qualifications for a non-royal Princess of Wales, or non-royal husband for Princess | Mary, will be a substantial bankroll, | for the British Tore house is not wealthy.
