and one always antagonizing him. The Dowager Empress moved out Of the
 palace of the Czar, but she carried the
 sceptre with her and has yielded it
 ever since. Knowing her son as she
 does, she realized that to oppose his plans openly would hurt his vanity. and
 so she never directly opposes him,
 but often pretends to give in. never for a second, however, losing sight of her
 goal, and without being aware of the fact, Czar Nicholas invariably carries out his mothers wishes, even where
 they conflict with his own. She seems
 to possess a magic formula, which
 makes him powerless to resist, and she leads him wherevers he wants, though
 he never realizes that he Is not car-
 rying out his own plans. The Czarina
 has often tried to arouse Czar Nicholas
 to independent action, she has carica- tured him as a small boy hanging on to his mothers skirts or being rolled in baby carriage, but to no avail The Czar does not see that he is being led. All the liberal and noble ideas which inspired him as young man have been frustrated by his mother as soon as he tried to carry them out. She only needs to tell him that his father would have acted differently. Immediately he
 summons his ministers and declares that everything must remain dS U WdS WutAc his father was living.
 In exerting her power, however, Ma ria Feodorowna uses great diplomacy and tact, or even the patience of her good -natured son would have been ex- hausted before this. She does not op- ! pose all the liberal ideas of her son and his friends, but understands won-
 derfully we'll to discern between those which may be stopped without causing any general dissatisfaction and those which meet e popular demand. His peace idea, which culminated in the es- | tablishment of the International Court of Arbitration at The Hague, she did not try to interfere with. realizing that | it did not counteract her own plans and even would. strengthen the dynasty by
 placing the Czar in a sympathetic light
 before the world.
 The present Czarina. who is an unus- ually intelligent woman, is perfectly
 well aware of her husbands lack of
 will power and dependency, but she
 does not want to create i'll feeling be-
 tween him and his mother, especially as she knows that the Dowager Elm press Is surrounded by many mighty
 men of the old school, who would not stop at assassination If she tried to | thwart their plans.
 There Is no doubt that as Dowager Empress Maria Feodorowna is dan ger to Russia and an enemy of all pro- gress. As long as she lives she and her
 friend Pobedoustzeff will prevent every
 movement toward freedom, but as wo-
 man and mother she has so many ex-
 cellent qualities that 1t is easily under stood that the Czar finds 1t hard to forget his feeling of filial piety.
 l In her manners and dress she Is of
 charming simplicity, and as her sister.
 Queen Alexandra of England she seems
 to have discovered the fountain of eter- | nal youth
 She never wears jewels except at off, I ncial receptions. She is a lover of art.
 and especially of music, and her charity
 has made her beloved of the poor in Denmark as. well as in Russia.
