days, for II was q brilliant company that

dominating, and among them were Just

flowers which they bought by the handful
from the psdlers on the pier.

Imperial suites wero taken.
The beautiful weather. the brilliantly
-.ressed women and the myriads Of hne
ncvsrs that were sent aboard The hnsr BY
friends of those sailing made the start Of
the Kaiser on her maiden voyage from
these shores especially picturesque. For
every passenger that boarded the Kaiser
these must have been at least half dozen
friends, while whole companies come down

The opera crowd, As the returning menu

called. were all oo board early and their
friends fairly overran their stAteroons.

soldier had no difficulty In concealing his
identity from his fellow passengers,
but be- -hadp't reckoned on the reporters

fooled the reporters on his arrival. but they
spotted Col. Stephenson the moment he
