combinations of ribbon and lace and
tiny flowers, made of ribbon or chlf-
fon, that go to make up this most
fanciful headwear.

are shown in the picture and it is evil
dent that they are easy to make. At
the top a cream-colored, silk lace is
made into small puff which Is mere
ly circular piece gathered about the

frill of the same lace Is sewed to the
puff. Over this little lace cap a shaped

Pretty Table Decorations

blue satin ribbon is used for fastening

The flowers and foliage are cut from
printed paper napkins and pasted
down. They look exactly like stencil

PRINCESS CHOPS DOWN TREES
Alice of Greece Does 1t to Keep Her.
self In Fit Physical Con-
dition.

villa Mon Repos, Corfu. Greece
The Princess Alice of Greece, who was
the English Princess Alice of Batten-
berg, has spent the past summer chop
ping down trees to keep herself fit.
The Princess Alice is thirty, a cousin
of the Queen of Spain. Shortly she
will take her children back to Athens
for the winter season and give up fell
ing trees to begin again her work of
encouraging the Greek women, to earn
their own living by home sewing--the
Princess Alice's own particular hobby.
The two eldest little girls, Princess
Marguerite and Princess Theodore,
eleven and ten respectively, are as
brown as their mother and as strong,
though they have not been chopping
down trees. They have been swimming
every day for an hour and half in
the warm translucent water of the Cor
fu Channel. Prince Andrews wife
herself is fine, strong swimmer now,
but 1t has not been long time since
Sheldon Whitehouse, who was then
secretary of the American legation
pulled her out of the water and saved
her life when she had gone down three
times.
The villa of Mon Repos, the sum-
mer place of Prince Andrew and the
Princess Alice, was the favorite coun-
try residence of the late King George,
who left 1t to his third son. but un-
fortunately he failed to leave the
means to keep it up.
Prince Andrew is n colonel of cav
airy regiment-not lucrative en-
ployment. Princess Alice also is not
rich, and the pair, who for royalties
are poor as church mice, have four
children, all girls n sad prospect these
days when Europe is full of royal
girls and short of royal boys to marry
them.

MADE KAISER HIS
PRISONER OF WAR
Won Hindenburg Once Defeated
the Emperor-Regular Army
ManeuverS.
PENSIONED BY ANGRY RULER
Remarkable Story of the Fall and
Rise of Germany's Most Popular
General-kaiser Forced to
Recall Him.

New York.-A wooden merchant of
this city has just returned from tour
of Germany, Austria and Holland, and
to party of his friends who had
luncheon with him he said that what
impressed him most in Germany was
the tremendous popularity of Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg. Every shop
window, every dwelling, every theater,
hotel, cafe and restaurant is placard-
ed with his picture. Plays, dishes,
children are named after him, and in
the street when his name is mentioned
in the course of conversation men lift
their hats.
| Made kaieer Prisoner
''The story of Won Hindenburgs fall
and rise" said he, sis told with much
gusto. 1t appears that not very long
before the present war started the
kaiser and Won Hindenburg engaged
in sham battle during the regular
army maneuvers not far from the
Russian border. The kaiser was ut
terly defeated by Won Hindenburg's
strategy and maneuvers. Finally, Won
Hindenburg approached the kaiser
and said, Your majesty, you are my
prisoner
'The kaiser was furious and openly
showed his state of mind. Shortly
after Won Hindenburg was pensloned,
and the general belief was that he
was on the shelf. However they could
not keep him down. When the war
started Won Hindenburg wrote per-
sonal letter to the kaiser requesting
a command. To this the kaiser paid
no attention. Influential friends in
terceded for him, but to no avail.
Finally, when the Russians were on
the point of breaking through the
German lines. Won Hindenburgs name
was again placed before the kaiser as
the only military man in Germany
who knew every inch of territory
along the Russian border. The kaiser
relented and placed him in command.
When Won Hindenburg received word
of his command he was dining In a
little restaurant in Berlin. He did
not stop to finish his dinner, but left
at once for headquarters, laid out his
plans and wired his orders, continuing
to do so as his train sped to the east
ern front. He made good-so good
that he stands now even above the
kaiser in the empire"
No Evidence of Suffering.
Regarding the food situation this
business man says that he noticed no
evidence of suffering. He stoned Mt
the best hotels in the cities and never
paid more than five marks day.
While the menus were somewhat re-
stricted, especially regarding meat,
still, there was plenty to eat, and no
one need go hungry.
Il witnessed an interesting little in
cident in Nuremberg" he said. 81

through the city by two German SOL
diers. They were showing them the

immensely. l was surprised to note
