BERLIN, Nov. 1s.-CSpecial to the Bee)-
The kaiser has laid down new rule of
conduct and it is this: that no mother,
especially a member Of the royal family
has right TO absent herself from her chill
dren for five months. The crown prince
desired to take his wife with him in his
trip to the east, but his father vetoes his
plan on the ground stated it would not
be possible to take the children.
1t is said that during the coming year
the king and queen Of England Will visit
this city. It is understood that their
majesties received an invitation from the
kaiser several weeks ago, and that a ia
vorable reply has been received. This visit
will follow the coronation, and will prob
ably extend over a week. Some time in
October is regarded as most probable, but
this is a detail that yet remains to be set
tied. Under ordinary circumstances, the
kaiser would have paid them a visit before
the end Of the present year but he was
reluctant to intrude upon the English court
mourning. so that his original intention
was abandoned There IS considerable
friendship between King George and his
imperial cousin, and the two exchange let
ters at regular intervals.
Since it would be contrary to court ETH
quette for the kaiser TO attend King
Georges coronation in person, he will be
represented by the crown prince, who will
be accompanied by the crown princess.
kaiser Answers Youngsters Letters.
The kaiser's daily mail numbers several
hundred letters. Quite percentage of them
come from boys who write to him on all
sorts of subjects, and strange as 1t may
appear, he answers many, especially those
of a serious nature.
Some time ago a young Swiss woman
wrote to all the European sovereigns ask
ing for their autographs for her collection.
Later on she wrote to the kaiser telling
him. with many thanks, that he was the
only monarch who had acceded to her
wish. When kings write personally to-
other sovereigns a great deal Of etiquette
is observed. Some idea of the difficulties
attending royal correspondence may be
gathered from the fact that the French
government appointed a commission to
settle the ceremonial which should be OBJ
served by the head Of the state, and one
Of the points discussed was what forms
the president should use in addressing
foreign monarchs when writing to them.
In writing to a president, kings use
various terms. Thus the car addresses
the French president as dear and hon
ored friend" and IN replying the presi-
dent usually employs the term sire"

The Grand Duchess Sergius Of Russia

rived at Darmstadt from Moscow, and dur
ing her stay here she will visit the en-
peror and empress OF Russia at Schloss
Feldberg and Princess Louise of Batten-
berg at the Chateau OF Heilegenberg. IT
is expected that the Grand Duchess Eliza

she may visit the duke and duchess of

Emperor a Good RifIemRn,
The kaiser has become more expert than
ever with the rifle. He has had a new
steel hand or fork fastened around the
elbow OF his short left arm with the OK
. press purpose Of serving as a gun rest
He is thus able tc regulate his rifle solely
with his right hand. So delighted was he
with the new apparatus and the good re-
suits he achieved in shooting that he en-,
braced all his friends.
