She Was Never Bitter in Grief
Over RegerSeS.
A Century After Her Death Her Tomb
at Potsdsm Was Covered With
Fragrant Flowers BY
Loving Hands.

Berlin.-Sentiment is an important
part OF the German temperament and
Germans are not ashamed to show 1t.
That may help to explain why, more
than a century after her death, the
memory OF Queen Louise Of Prussia is
kept fragrant and living by constant
gifts of flowers placed upon her tomb
at Potsdam. But that characteristic
OF the Germans does not serve wholly
to explain the flowers that are kept
always fresh. Other German kings
and queens have died and been for
gotten almost before the official court
mourning ceased. 1t must indeed
have been a very are and charming
personality that made its owner so
loved by her subjects that they pre-
served a tender, reyerent memory OF
her In their hearts and handed down
that memory to their children and
their children's children.
Queen Louise was more than n
rulers wife-she was a charming,
brave, womanly woman and, more
over, she was beautiful. Although O
princess OF Mecklenburg, she was
brought up with much less of formal
ity and more of home life than Is con-
tained In the curriculum OF a large
number of American %debutantes to-
day. 4
The Princess Louise at sixteen was
good to look upon, She was tall n
slender, her eyes deep blue and her
hair brown, with glints Of sunlight
in 1t. Her skin was clear and trans-
parent and her exquisite coloring did
not need the aid of rouge pot or pow
der. And then there came into her
life her Prince Charming, He was
