Kaiser andDaughter
Almost Quarrel Over
Suffrage for Woman
Especial Gable 10 The Call

l.
BERLIN, Nov 20.-According
to Berlin society gossip. Prin-
cess Victoria has signalized her
coming of age by having ser
ious tiff with the kaiser, her
father, over her enthusiastic sup
port of emancipation OF women.
The princess does not share her
imperial fathers enthusiasm for
kitchen and domestic interests,
and she argued at length with
him about his famous speech
against woman's suffrage re-
Gently.
The kaiser, who is very anXi-
Gus to keep the princess in
state of girlhood as long as pos
sible, was astonished bye his
daughters obvious grasp Of the
latest emancipation arguments,
and horror stricken by her obvi-
Gus intention to use her influence
to help girls to independence.
The princess is said to have ar
gued that the position of women
in Germany was ridiculously me-
diaeval. The German idea of
woman's mission is to catch an
officer for a husband. using her
dowry or pretty face as bait. The
princess said that. women being
more and more compelled to en-
ter the arena in the struggle for
a livelihood, it was imperative
that the kaiser should stop talk
ing about womans proper place
being the nursery or the kitchen.
BY way of giving public ex-
preston TO her feelings, the prin-
cess paid a long surprise visit
to the Lette society's institute
for teaching young Women how
TO earn a livelihood and inde-
pendence.
