 It has often been said of Bismarck that ho was loved hv the women as much as he WAS frar,d by the mrn. vvt domVsticity haS always been ono uf his chief vlrtu"S Tho affection >uh>i<tinS between himself and his wifr WAS q really touching thing to svv. and his grief when si:' died hot lon. nso Was profound.

 The only ti:ur ill all his lifo that any thing i'll the least approached scandal was brrAthtd about him came when he allowed himself to be photographed many years ago ill company with Lucca, then ono of the most famous singers in the world.
