shall begin housekeeping on her own
account.
Hitherto the Princess has been lead
ing rather retired life with her
books, her painting. her neediework,
and. It must be added. her dolls. In
q few weeks she will blossom out as
q full blown Hohenzollern princess.
Lately in a sort of tentative shy
fashion. she appeared at two or three
court balls. but she was allowed to

Princess Victoria Louise Is a very
unassuming young lady and very re-
ticent. What her opinions are no one
knows. unless II IL her English COM
panion. The probability is that her
opinions are in very imperfect state
OF development. as her studies have
not been remarkable for extent or
variety.
She cares nothing for dress and Is
utterly Indifferent to what she wears.

nelghborhood. She will command a
staff of eight indoor servants. pony

The Empress and the Princess have
been very busy lately in getting mat
tiers into shape. They visit Rheint-
berg daily. and every detail 10 minute
iy gone into. especially by the EN-
press, who Is in her element in such
work.
The Princess's taste in the decorat-
ing of her new home Is OF the simplest
character. The rooms she is TO In
habit will be made as light as posi-
BILE; the furniture and hapgiugs are
all to be In bright or light eolors. Her
bedroom will be In no sense different
from that OF any other weil-to@do Ger
man girl There 10 a plain brass bed

ture are all white. A handsome little
white table, a gift from her mother,
is to serve both as sewing table ana

skillful with her needle, and some OF
her embroidery decorates tho working

Her dressing room Is painted light
green. Her boudolr and reception
room are walled with imitation mar
bles. For maple wood the Princess
shows a strong liking. and as many
rooms as possible are to be paneled
with the timber and polished. The
chairs ana sofa in the boudoir are In
pale pink silk, the Princess's favor1te
color. In this she differs from her
sister-in-law, the Crown PrS1ess,
whose delight is in pale bDWe. and
from her mother. who loves all shades
OF purple and lilac.
There will be tennis court, an ar
tiflcial ice rink and several other ar
rangementS to permit the Princess TO
cultivate sport. Hitherto she has not
shown the faintest inclination for out
door exercise. Her gymnasium IL Q
gift from the Emperor.
The Princess has somewhat improv-
ed in looks lately and promises to de-
velop into q pleasant looking German
girl. without pretension to beauty. but
with kindly winning ways and abso-
luteiy devoid OF vanity. In fact. her
lack OF dignity Is a source of worry
to her English companion. and more
than once lately she has been sharply
taken to task for neglect OF the dig
mites OF her position.
