yet made of the $4,000 reinforcements

Such explanations as are advanced
tentatively suggest either that the

a hint OF foreign suggestions as to the

The car of Russia is not much in
love with the grandeur in which he is
compelled to live. He has no liking
for a soldiers or sportsman's life, and
is never more uncomfortable than
when obliged to don the gorgeous uni
form OF some crack regiment of which
he is colonel. He is fond of rowing,
cycling, tennis and other quiet sports.
His happiest moments are spent in his
unpretentious library. The car and
his young wife have for their favorite
domestic resort the small Alexander
palace, at Czarskoie Selo. In the
grounds of this palace is a queerly
built pavilion, or summer house, which
was designed by the great Catherine of
Russia, and here the royal pair enjoy
their meals unattended by servants. A
sort OF trick table" sinks through the
floor when each course is finished and
reappears laid for the following course.
