DRFSSMAKING

II Is popular custom to represent the German
Empress being above all good "hausfrau' and
one interested in little else than household man
agement. This tradition is viewed with certain
amusement in aristocratic Berlin circles. The fact
is that the Empress has little TO do with the
housekeeping of the palace at Potsdam that she
relegates the Emperor the daily task Of receiv-
ing the official whose duty 1t is to supervise the
management Of the royal household
IL was the consort of the late Emperor Frederick.
born Princess Royal of England, who first took
personal charge Of the Prussian royal establish
ment. The greatest extTavagance and waste pre-
vailed before she and her practical husband took
the matter In hand and effected sweeping reforms.
Their example is followed by the present Emperor,
who never gives the simplest dinner party without
nrst calculating the exact cost per guest.
The little daughter OF the Emperor Is receiving n
careful education in all domestic branches. but the
Empress takes no interest in any except that OF
dressmaking. Most of her own and her daughter s
dresses are cut and made under her supervision.
A large stan Of needlewomen are employed and
one French or Viennese model gown Is often copied
N number OF different coors and fabrics. The
Empress dresses with much elegance. but she has
no particular reputation for originality.
