parade ground when her regiment
was at work. Then came her d.
vorce from her husband. when the
kaiser signified his disapproyal of
her conduct by depriving her of her
regimentals and her monograms and
arms were removed from the regi-
ment's epaulettes. But the with
drawal of royal favor has not taken
away her popularity. She is not only
a magnificent rider, but an accom-
plished whip, and her appearance at
the Frankfort races on Sunday aft
ernoOns invariably causes demon
stration.
Other women of royal blood who
have been honored thus by the kaiser
are the Empress Alexander. of Russia.
who is colonel of Germany's Second
regiment of dragoons; the hereditary
princess of Saxe-M einengen, who COM
mands the Second grenadiers; the
crown princess Of Greece. the emper-
or's sister, who has an infantry regi-
ment and Princess Louise, duchess of
COnnaught, who has the dragoon regi-
men known as "Von Arnim No. 12."
The queen of Wurtemburg is colonel
of the Uhlan regiment, "Konig Will

+ temburg, who was a Russian grand
duchess, the Uhlans "Konig KARL" the
Princess Charles, of Prussia, the
Twelfth regiment Of Dragons; the
Princess bert, of Prussia, the Twen-
ty-fourth infantry, the queen regent
of the Netherlands, the Fifteenth
Westphalian infantry; the grand
duchess of Baden, the Fourth regiment
of the Grenadier guards, and the Dow
ager Queen Margerite, of Italy, Hes

Of all this list no one is destined to
more general popularity among the
soldiery than the duchess of Con-
naught. Educated under the eye Of
her father, the famous Prince Fred

the Franco-German war. she has the
military spirit strong within her.
colonels only two women in the world
may wear the three-cornered chapeau
and the four stars and stripes of an
admiral. These are the Dowager En-
press Dagmar, of Russua, and Queen
Olga, of Greece. who owe their honors
to the late cZar. The Empress Dagmar
is an admiral in the Russian navy.
while Queen Olga is attached to the
Russian Mediterranean squadron. The
latter, who is passionately fond Of the
sea, uses her yacht as often as other
ladies call for their carriages, and she
has also passed the necessary exam
inationS to secure a sailing masters
certificate. She often commands the
royal Greek yacht, the Amphitrite,
and she is certainly better equipped
for the rank Of admiral than many of
her sister sovereigns are qualified for
their military duties.
