THE INFLUENCE OF THE PRINCE OF WALES ON MODERN SOCIETY.

In an article showing the deterioration that is going on ill modern society, and which is attributed to tho iniluence of the Prince of Wales, the "World" says :— <•' Nothing could be less to be desired than that Marlborough Homrc should be the resort of spectacled savants, narrow pedants, and bookish philosophers. Hut it might at least be expected that in the interest of the public some attention should be paid to those Avho ai'3 tlie .special objects of popularity and lienor, in a quarter in which nothing can be hid from the public eye. It might at least have been thought the Prince, Avho Avill probably be some day or other King of Englhnd, Avould have by this time arrived at the conclusion that tlie pleasantry of Avine-limhed subalterns, and the practical jests of undergraduates at the end of term did not become the dignity of the middle aged heir of the oldest and "most illustrious, and the most powerful monarchy in the world. It might at least have been an ticipated that If gilded youths, who, Avith out fear, are yet scarcely Avithout reproach, Avere not excluded from the balls of Marl borough House and the garden parties of Chi.swick, the gne-ts of the oilier sex should be proof against tho shafts of slander, and should not include grass widows, unattached avj'vcs, and frisky matrons, whom, for the sake of his own reputation and that nf his family, no person of tlie upper middle class would ven ture to invite to his house. It might have been thought that the Prince of Wales would be so far alive to a sense of his own dignity, and Avhat is due to others, as to refrain from employing in public ofl'ensivo language to a nobleman, deservedly popular and esteemed, or Avould, at least, occasion ally, show that lie could practically under stand the full import of the adage, noblesse oblige. Unhappily, each of these ex pectations has been so far falsified. If the evil ended Avhere it began, if would not, perhaps, greatly matter. But that is what it does not, and cannot do. The Prince of Wales sets, and will continue to set, tiie fashion to English society. He is, as Aye have already said, the first and chief representative of the aristocratic prin ciple, and hence it is that personal character is growing a matter to Avhich less and less consideration is attached in high places, that the border line Avhich separates inno cence from criminality is becoming more perilously narrow ; that escapades are com mitted one season and ingnored the next; that the horse-play of clowns at a country fair is not looked upon as inconsistent Avith the highest breeding ; that the conversation of society is as slangy, and pitched in as low a key, as its ethics are dubious. It is only due to the sound sense and the innate good feeling of the English character that the royal encouragement to laxity of all sorts has not resulted in the descent to a leA^el yet more deplorably loaa'."
