THE DUCHESS OF SPARTA'S CONVERSION.
The King and Queen of fle Heenes have been visit

oyed much pleasant intercourse with Emperor Francis
Joseph The fact that King George did not visit Berlin
when he left Copenhagen excited much gossip at the
German court. The truth is that Emperor Williams
annoyance ard anger at the conversion of the Duchess
Of sparta have by no means abated. The Emperor
who wous like 10 exercise despotic control over every
member Of his family, would not have rehed his favor
lie sisters change of faith under any circumstances
but he particularly resented il having been prac-
teay managed by the Russian court and also because
ue Duchess acted quite independently Of him, and, 50
lar from soliciting his permission to enter the Greek
CluFch, did not send notice Of her intention 70
nm. The Emperor's eIaspeIation was increased by
strong suspicion that Empress Frederick had all along
been acquainted with the intention II the Duchess. and
tat she had expressed approval Of the conversion.
