At Grand Lodne Session.
German Court Balls,

In the German court balls not all who are invited are permitted to take part in the dances which the kaiser witnesses.
 The kaiser has no love for the quick and slovenly." Many months before the ball the selected couples re- hearse the dances under the direction of Fraulein Gasperini, mistress of the court ballet. The kaiserin criti- cises freely the ladies and gentlemen who show any shortcomings. The or dinary rehearsals take place in one of the chambers of the palace, but the final rehearsal is held on the eve of the ball at the residence of one of the invited.
 The princesses royal carry trains held by two pages, but the other ladies have to manage their own. For married ladies the length prescribed is about eleven feet six inches, the trains of the other ladies being rather more than a half a yard less.

GERMAN CAMPAIGN

Part Socialists Will Play AS
Yet Uncertain.

Berlin, Jan 9.-On the eve OF tha
elections for the reichstag. which VIII
take place January ~ Il IS necessary
TO 10 outside Of Berlin for indications
OF the real intensity OF the struggle
The radicals alone are attempting to
ilght the Socialists IN the capital, but
the number of complaints Of unfair
activity received from the provinces
shows that the campaign rs arousing
keen interest.
II was earlier assumed that the vote
would be so split up that the main
elections would be indecisivs and the
complexion OF the parliament would
not be known until re-ballots were
taken. but II Is now believed as many
members will be elected ON the hrst
ballot as In 1907, when 23s were re-
turned.
Continuing It's campaign against the
Socialists. the Nord Deulsche Allge-
meme Zeitung gives the plainest In
dlcation yet OF impending naval and
military proposals going before the
reichstag According TO the paper
the reichstRg probably will be called
upon soon to vote appropriations TO
assure the defense OF the fatherland.
The Socialists, Il adds. should be OPP
posed because OF their negative atti-
tude heretofore on such questions.
The paper refralns from expressions
OF opinion with reference to the other
parties.
