Imagine they are clean because they
wash their hands,"
Gen. Tcherevine the Princess de-
scribes as "the man next the throne" in
Russia and until the day of his death
the most popular man in st. Peters,
burg society. He was the intimate friend
and confidential adviser of Alexander
III. and later of the Car Nicholas II.
"Such men" writes our Princess, ARE
not often met with, and he was worthy
of the tears which the Empress Marie
Feodorovna shed upon his coffin. She
lost in him not only devoted. faithful
and'lntelligent servant, but also a friend
passionately attached to her person and
to her family.
With her u.ual comprehension of
men and things the Empress knew how
to appreciate the General, during whose
last moments she was present, holding
his hands and weeping silently as he
slowly expired; and If anything could
have eased the death struggle of a man
who did not wish to die, yet felt ne
was passing away in the full strength
of his manhood and activity at a time
when he knew himself to be almost in
dispensable to his monarch as well as
to his country, 1t must have been this
last supreme proof of friendship shown
TO MN by the sovereign lady of whom
he mad been so proud to he considered
the knight and the defender"
When she gets into her own country.
Russia, the Princess Radziwill can and
does tell us much that we could not
learn from any one less familiar with
court or diplomatic life. OF the famous
Procurator of the Holy Synod, NJ. Pobe-
donostsef, whose powerful personality
exercised such considerable influence
during the whole life and reign of Alex
ander H., the Princess writes:
II numbered him among my per-
sonal friends, II | can make use of such
an expression In view of the enormous
distance that separated a young woman
OF the age | was at that time from
the great and mighty statesman that
Nj. Pobedonostseff was. He always
treated me with infinite kindness and
an anability for which I shah always
feel grateful.
M Pobedonostseff was one OF the
most learned men Of his generation and
also of Europe: the works which he has
written are considered as classics, and
in matters OF Jurisprudence few people
have equalled him. What is not so
well known abroad, where he has been
represented as harsh, cold man, is
his amiahlity. his charm OF conversa-
ton, the shrewdness and extreme deli
cacy of his mind, which made CONVEX
sation with him entirely attractive"

numerous receptions which she prac-
tised on herself.
or William H., the present Kaiser, the
Princess Radziwill writes that she has
never met him since his accession To
the throne, but she has kept n very
bright remembrance of his personality
such as IL appeared at the period about
which she Is writing. He was always
conspicuous for his Intelligence and
what she describes as n great gift, "one
or the MIST precious that nature can
bestow-that of personal magnetism"
As Prince he was very fond of So
ciety and of all the enjoyments which
II offered. but she states positively that
from the moment he assembled the
throne his conduct became irreproach-
able. In the first years of their married
life the Princess was In a constant state
OF Ill health, but she had the good sense
never to lend an ear TO all the gossip
that went about town concerning the
Prince. She was very happy in her
home and content to live on affectionate
terms with her husband.
The Princess RadZwill was devoted
to the Empress Victoria as well as to
her husband, the Emperor Frederick of
Prussia. When he became Emperor in
stead Of sharing the throne with the
companion Of her life she found herself
watching at his deathbed During the
Emperor's illness she wrote n letter to
the Princess Rad2iwill I'm answer to a
sympathetic one that she received from
her' The Emperor was then dying.
Sometimes" she writes, "it seems TO
me as If all this agony is nothing but a
dream from which I must awake; and
then anguish seiZes me again and I
realize my misfortune in all its depth.

to judge or to condemn them. We have
even to endure the pain OF not being
able to talk about sufferings, and at all
costs we must fall and die like kings"
Her own death was painful in the ex-
IRENE. She died from cancer. which
tormented her for months. Before her
death in her pain she would murmur.

being a bright boy was earmarked, so
to speak, from the outset for the highest
honors.
At II he succeeded to his grandfather.
and at once, as became his position,
went on the turf; that is he gambled

Tor what he believed was best for hi,
loved empire. Seeing him in those mo-
ments of fierce battle 1t was difficult
to believe the stories one heard OF
the tender and sweet simplicity of his
home life. Yet it was unreservediy
true.
AT those times when he was able
to throw aside for a brief season the
anNieties and harassments of State af-
tairs he would retire to his shome and
there lead the happiest life il Is pos
sible to imagine. He was absolutely
charming, and his wife was to him the
best of mortals. They never allowed
outside affairs to disturb the sweet
ness and harmony of their affection
for each other.
'on religious questions they were
poles apart, but even here-the Stun
ping block in so many cases-they were
quite in harmony in agreeing to differ.
There is no doubt that the Princess's
homely characteristics contributed not
little to this perfection of harmony. for
had she been a brilliant and dashng
woman of the world The peaceful atmos-
phere Of the home life would not have
been so marked. 1t was all for the best
that this homeloving woman could pre-
serve for her Prince such a haven OF
rostful quietude. where he could find
grateful ease from the tension and nerve
rack Of his tempeStuous public life"
The Princess RadziwN thinks that
Bismarck should go down in history
rather as a kindly hearted Preside low
ing man than as a man who cared for
public life; the latter was thrust upon
MIN and he rose to It, He was" she
writes. truly the great man Of his
time"
The Princess Radziwill was a great adj
mirer of the Emperor william |. He was
an old man when she first knew him
but she was impressed by his vigor and
activity and the clearness of his ewes
He was always very neat I'm his dress,
he had a certain coquetry in the way in
which he arranged his hair in order TO

thread to another coming from his fore
mead This considerably added to the
charm OF his face, The Emperor could
never have been a handsome young
man. but In age he was imposing"
Although during the Franco Prus-
sian war the Emperor addressed all
his kilograms to the Empress they were
not on the most harmonious terms. The
lie OF Augusta, according to this writer,
can be described in one word "disap-
potntment." She was disappointed dur
ing the whole course of her royal career,
nut she was never dsillusioned because
she neither realized her own imperfec-
tons nor succeeded In understanding
that she was alone responsible for the

cries Of Forty Years" Dunk &
Wagnalls) we will have some very en-
tertaining reading. The Princess does
not go as deeply into scandals as did
Lady Cardigan but nevertheless her
book contains many lively stories and
she does not hesitate to express her
opinion of her contemporaries.
She is a fearless writer with a keen
perception and a vein OF humor that
takes the sting out of some of her
thrusts. Her knowledge of European
court life from the inside and her acute
observation combine to make this book
not only of great interest but of de-
cided worth as an account of The fads
and failings of the most representative
people OF her day. Not only does she
give us inside pictures Of the life Of the
German, Russian and English courts,
but she furnishes intimate pictures
Of Gladstone, BeaConsield, Winston
Churchill, Lord Roscbcry, literary folk,
novelists, poets and politicians as well
as society. There is not dry page in
the book.
The Princess Radziwll begins her
book with the account Of her first visit
to England, which country she loves
very dearly, and | dare say that she
loves 1t more to-day that 1t is engaged
with her country Russia, in fighting
the Germans. In writing of English
statesmen she contrasts John Morley,
now Niscount Morley. with Gladstone
She thinks that Moriey's mind is far
stronger than Gladstone's and his in
soil f.,I..
Old Mans, being at the same time
more serious and more practical. Per-
sonally she never noticed the great
charm which Gladstone was supposed
To possess. The weak point in his
personality she describes as his cyan
ity and the admiration it inspired him
to entertain for his own PROJECTIONS"
He believed seriously in everything con-
corning himself even in the good in
tentlons which he only imagined he
possessed. She adds, His attitude was
nike hrcwork which begins with a
fuse and ends in smoke"

veal sort of person She tells an anec-
