Europe, Mrs. Longworth enjoyed meet
ing and talking with the Kaiser the most
The first person of royal or imperial
blood that she ever met was Prince
Henry Of Prussia. The Kaiser had paid
her the high compliment of asking her
to break the bottle of champagne on the
bow of his American-built yacht. To
show his appreciation of her acquiescence
and sturdy performance of the deed, he
presented her with costly bauble. Since
her father became President, she has
heard him and the Kaiser compared

marry their son to the eldest daughter
of the President of the United States.
OF course, it was said, the Kaiser would
see to it that some friendly ruler con
ferred a title upon Miss Roosevelt.
So what more natural than for Mrs.
Longworth to enjoy her visit with the
Kaiser, even more than her meeting with
King Edward at Ambassador Reds,
where she made His Majesty laugh
heartily over recital of her attempts to
outwit pursuing kodak fends?
Before the Longworths left England
for the Continent and after their return
there from the Kiel regatta, they were
entertained at a number of fashionable
English country houses, and in and out
of London there were small dinners and
some dances in their honor American
women who have married into British
nobility and high society were among the
hostesses. Every moment that they were
in old England. the Longworths were be-
ing entertained, and the list of Lords
and Ladies, Dukes and Duchesses, Earls
and Countesses, Sirs and what not in

Alice Roosevelt sent a cablegram to the
Kaiser thanking him for the bracelet and
portrait, certain influential London
criticized her for not framing
the despatch in terms of servility. 1t
goes without saying that during the
whole of her stay at Kiel she displayed
none other than the unaffected demo-
cratic spirit that is Unborn in every repre-
sentative American man and woman.
With certain things known, It is pretty
safe to state that of all the great folk
with whom she became acquainted in

How did Mrs. Longworth take these
honors3 Like a true American, as was
to be- expected. The English newspaper
writers noted, with evident mild wonder,
that she was thoroughly at ease, una
Dashed. and absolutely democratic in the
presence OF their August monarch and
the proudest Of his mobiles. They re
corded that when she courtesied to the
King on being introduced, she did so
without the least suggestion of servility;
and the ease with which she entered into
the conversation with His Majesty as
soon as they were seated at table is still
food for thought in Merrie England,
which holds more than one noble of an
cient lineage who shows the embarrass-
ment of servil;y when il chances that it
is up to him" to speak with his king.
London was undeniaby favorably inn
pressed with its young and charming
guest
In the same wholesome democratic
spirit Mrs. Longworth was presented TO
and paid a visit TO the Kaiser at his very
earnest solicitation. This was at Kiel,
while the regatta, which lies close to the
War Lords heart. was az its height.
One of the sTst things that Mrs Long
worth did after the presentation was to
thank the Kaiser personally for the gold
bracelet set with diamonds and his por-
trait which he had presented to her
through his brother, Prince Henry, at the
time the yacht Meteor was launched.
For Eve days the Longworths were
guests of the Kaiser, talking with him
daily. He pointed out to Mrs. Long

Alice Roosevelt" sometime after the
christening of the Meteor. When Miss

The Palladium team annexed an

away from the POgue-Miller team.
The final score was II to ). For
three innings the Pogues kept the Pal

been added to the Palladium lineup
and they gave strength to the team.

The Starr Piano team increased its
hold on first place yesterday afternoon
by defeating the Pan Handle team by
Il score Of 10 to 3. notwithstanding
that Ridge was not eligible to play
under the new rules, he was used by
the Railroaders and the STAIRS played
the game under protest. They will
not have to follow up the protest, how
ever, as they fell on the Greensboro
pitcher in good style, or rather the
team behind the little ellOw could
not stop the balls batted at them. Late
in the game Ridge quit and Rockhill

was clearly cut as the rim OF a sap

they were now prepared for all such

ten that they possessed, among other
treasures, a box Of books for rainy

The morning sped in uneventful'

must have broken loose from its davits
