The Prince of Wales returned from his long and arduous
journey on Wednesday and was received at Plymouth, all along his route, and above all in London, with an affectionate regard which was remarkable even in this land of notably happy relations between Royal Family and people. To anyone with an inclination for philosophic reflection the sights must have brought much significant material. After a War which broke down thrones all over Europe, the British Royal Family is evidently more firmly established than ever. The reason, however, is not far to seek. All members of the Royal Family serve the country unsparingly, and do it without a trace of unconstitutional pretension or self-advertisement. They are like the typical country gentleman who spends his energy on the work of his county, though of course the Royal Fa-nily works on a much higher plane and faces much larger issues.
