Peep Royal

Two narrow slanting eyes peeped last week above the topmost crag of the famed Wetterhorn.* Seven hours before, three Japanese and five Swiss guides had set out from Grindelwald. He who peeped royally from the summit, was Prince Chichibu of Japan, second son of the Mikado. As everyone knows, he has wintered and disported himself in Switzerland, has survived an ankle strained while skating and ensuing measles (TIME, Feb. 22, Mar. 1).
