CALLS THE KAISER WILLY"
How the German Emperor and En-.
press Speak of Each Other.

From the Woman's Home Companion.
The German emperor, in absence of his
consort. speaks of her as my WIFE"
The empress in the home circle addresses
him as willy"
The former alludes to his family, from
the crown prince to the princess, as 'my
young ones; the latter speaks of them
not by title. but as my children" both
expressions so clearly conveying the close
existing attachment
Very often the emperor gives evidence
at unexpected moments of the ever-pres-
ent thought with him of his family. At
times, when they were small children,
and he was being entertained at state
banquets as the guest of princes Or cities.
he would slip bonbons into his pocket,
quietly saying. These are for the young
ones; something brought home always
tastes better; l know that from expert
ence'
1T is told of the emperor that in Rome,

On Keeping Letters.
From the New York Evening Post.

From the New York Evening Post.
The line of distinction between letters
of business and letters of friendship has
become more and more sharply drawn.
Broadly speaking, the abrupt business
communication Of today is not a letter
at all. Yet most business letters are
preserved for a time. After what is
deemed a sufficient period, such letters
are destroyed.
But the old, old problem of what to do
with personal letters still is as perplex-
ing as ever. A private letter from a
friend is bit Of that particular friend
himself. Not cold paper and ink are
inclosed in the envelope but aspirations.
fears. opinions. love. Here. then, arises
the dilemma: shall the recipient destroy
such q letter, or shall he stow it away,
thereby giving himself chance to re-
read it, but also rendering it possible that
other eyes than those for which it was
intended may read 1t?
One type of person solves the ques-
ton by throwing everything away. AS
loose from the riddle. Unfortunately, at
the same time he cuts himself loose from
q host of ties by which he may bind
himself to the past. He surrenders one
OF the most precious privileges Of letter
exchanging. The solution by throwing
everything away is really no solution at
all. That is merely to adopt the method
of one who guards against a sprained
ankle by never taking step, or who
avoids. trashy novels by not reading at
all.
Over against him stands the person
who never destroys any personal letters.
He goes on classifying and preserving,

of merely filing odd corners here and
there, he fills whole boxes. drawers and
