A Joint Message.
During the luncheon cablegrams
were received from the kaiser by
Prince Henry, President Roosevelt and
Miss Alice Roosevelt. Miss Roosevelt
desired to reply at once, so the presi-
dent asked for pad and pencil. He
began to write the message, and had
written a few words when Mrs. Roose-
Welt smilingly took the pencil from
him and added few words. She then
passed the pad and pencil to Miss Alice,
who completed the message. Thus the
cablegram to the emperor was the
joint production of the president, his
wife and his daughter.
Golden Bracelet Given to Alice.
Before the luncheon given on the
imperial yacht Hohenzollern in honor
of President Roosevelt by Prince
Henry of Prussia, golden bracelet
with picture of Kaiser Wilhelm in
diamonds was presented to Miss
Alice Roosevelt. 1t was the emper-
or's gift to the young lady as sponsor
for the new yacht Meteor. The pres
entation was made by Prince Henry
on behalf of his brother, the en-
peror. The prince made brief ad-
dress and the young lady thanked
him very much. The bracelet is of
very handsome workmanship and the
portrait of the emperor in diamonds
is well made.
