EGYPTIAN PRINCEL BY
AMERICAN ACTRESS WIFE

The German press is considerably agi-
! tated over the unexpected announcement
! that Kaiser Wilhelm has decided to visit
Switzerland. 1t is to be a grand state
affair. and it is surmised by political
wiseacres that this is to be the initlatory
step for a later visit to Paris, which the
Emperor has planned for a number OF
years. He is fully convinced that the ex-
isting antipsthy between Germany and
France can best be overcome by official
visits
Wilhelm knows that despite their vaunt-
ed republicanism, Frenchmen dearly love
to see a monarch or a prince. Besides,
if ever ruler had the knack OF max
ing himself popular, he is the one, as has
been demonstrated by the enthusiastic
receptions accorded him whenever he
went to London. no matter how strained
or fOrbidding the political situation. 1t is
more than probable, indeed, that he
would be just as or nearly as popular in
Paris, for 1t is an open secret now at
the Quai d'OrsLy that it was he who
personally and peremptorily interfered
last July to prevent a breach In the ne
gotiations about Morocco.
The Kaiser broke one of the tradi-
ttons of his house the other day by
appearing at one of the restaurants
Inter den Linden, the famous avenue
of Berlin, leading from the royal pal
ace to the Brendenburger Thor, the
Thiergarten, and the Sieges Alice
CAvenue of Victories), in order to view
the newly decorated "Cadinen" Hail.
a dining-room which has been paneled
and floOred with tiles made at the pot
terry at Cadinen. owned by the En-
peror, money making enterprise OF
which he Is very proud.
Hitherto the Emperor steadfastly re-
fused to visit any OF the restaurants
or hotels of his capital, to avoid giving
rise to jealousy among the many mine
hosts. He never attends a banquet
given by one of the foreign diplomats
If the entertainment is at a hotel.
But, as stated, his Cadinen pottery Is
very dear to his heart, and he coulG
not withstand the temptation to go to
the famous Kemplnski Inn and express
his approval of the fine work.
This will be a continuous adver-
tisement for my pottery" the EN-
peror said, laughingly. to his stan,
who one and all admired the fifteenth
century italian designs. TT will he
worth fortune to my factory"
The short dream Of love and prin-
cess crown of Ola Humphrey, that was,
IS at an end, sooner than her friends
expected when last April she was mar
ried to Prince Ibrahim Hassan, first
cousin to the Khedive Of Egypt. Her
case has attracted a great amount OF
sympathy. She Is well known to Amer
lean theatergoers, for she appeared in
this country as the heroine in the Fatal
Wedding" play which Theodore
Kramer wrote especially for her. and in
which she toured the United States with
her former husband, Edwin Mordaunt,
whom she divorced several years ago in
California. He was the leading man in
the production and now, after herself
contracting a "fatar' wedding, she leaves
her Oriental prince to again warn the
American girl against fatal weddings.
Her own life certainly overshadows the
cleyerly told story of that play. Her
wedding to Prince Hassan took place
last spring in a registry Office in the
Strand. London, only two months after
she had been introduced to him by a mu-
tual friend The marriage was pure
love match, the bride sacrificing her
stage career because she believed she
was going to settle down in house Of
her own. with the man she loved.
Miss Humphrey married the Egyptian
against the advice of all her friends. She
would not listen. She was fascinated by
the man who was so strong so domt-
neering," and of whom she processes to
have been very fond, because he was so
patient so kind, and so considerable
before the wedding. Evidently Miss
Humphrey did not know the Oriental
character. But she knows 1t now. For
things began to change with astounding
rapidity after the marriage. She was
told that she was expected to be ready
at his beck and call at all hours to do
his will. She had to take her meals in
her own apartments, and once when he
had ordered her to walt for him In the
lobby of their hotel In Paris and she,
becoming tired of waiting for him so
long, had gone to her rooms, he followed
her and knocked her down ito teach her
a lesson"
OF course that ended II all. The prin-
cess lay i'll for two weeks after that
episode without once hearing from her
husband Then she packed up and left.
I read that his Egyptian highness, after
letting her wait there several weeks,
finally has consented to see her, and has
arrived in London, but now the wife.
