EMPEROR WILLIAM Of Germany went about
Europe in his own railway carriage with as much
elegance as though he were an American rail-
road president. 1t believed that his carriage

some delicate features, dandihed in Dress and
aristocratic to his glove-tips, he is a great
charmer when II peases him so to be. Ladies
think him delightful Men have sometimes mis-
judged him at first sight, but have soon WINGED
at feeling the grip of the ron hand under his
kid glove. A trick Of half closing his eyes, a
slightly affected drawl in his voice nonchalant
demeanor when he enters into conversations of
the gravest moment, are puzzling to some men
who approach him and irritating TO others; nor
does Lord Dufferin ever quite renounce pose.
except in those brief moments when his quick
Irish temper being fired by the stupidity of

lightning. Nevertheless, his most scathing re-

amused sarcasm, or with grave scorn which
briags all parleying 10 a stop.
