Adelheid Won KienitZ?
She was a funny little defOrmed
person, aged, perhaps, seventy, widow
of the great General Won Kienitz, who
had served in the Franco-German cam
paign, and who, before his death, had
been acknowledged to be as great Il
strategist as Lord Roberts.
Countess Won Kienitz was the daugh-
ter of a certain Countess Won Borcke,
and after living for many years in re-
tirement in her picturesque old schloss,
perched on u rock not far from the
famous wine district of B%erncastel, on
the MOsel river, became suddenly
seized with an idea to re-enter Berlin
society.
With this view she rented u fine
house not far from the Leichtenstein
bridge and early in 1911 commenced
a series of wildly eXtravagant enter
tainments with Il view, as it seemed to
me, to attract the more modern and 60
ahead section of Berlin society.
One afternoon, seated by the crown
prince as he drove reclilessly his great
Mercedes car along the Bismarckallee
I'm the direction of Potsdam, we passed
an OverGressed old woman, very artiti-
ciaI. with yellow hair and short stat
ure.
Look. HeltzendOrffl Is she not like
Won Kienitz2"
"Yes. her figure is very SIMILAR" 1
admitted.
"Ah The old woman was introduced
to me Ii other night at Bismarck
Bohlen's house. Himmel! What II
freak! Have you seen her wig?"
replied that l had visited once or
twice at the Stulerstrasse and that the
company l had met there were certain
ly amusing. l mentioned some of their
names, among them that of young Won
ItatibOr, Major Gersdorff of the Deaths
Head Hussars, Van Heynitz of the
KOnigsjuger, u ~well-knOwn man about
town, his friend Winterfeld, together
with II number of ladies of the very
ultra go-ahead set. AT this his high
ness seemed highly interested.
"She certainly seems II very curious
old person." ne laughed. "Fancies that
she's but twenty-five, and actually had
the audacity to dance ut Bismarck
BOhlen'S."
New Arrival at Court
Judge my great surprise when,
about six weeks later, Frau Won Alven-
slebeu, the pretty grand maitresse of
the court of the crown princess, stop
ped ne in II of the corridors of the
Marmor palace and, drawing me aside,
whispered:
g" have news for you, my dear
count. We have a new arrival at
court-Frau Yellow-Wig."
She saw that l did not follow her.
Countess Won Kienltz-a friend of
yours. L believe"
Friend of mine!" 1 echoed. "Ive
only been in her house three or four
times, just in a crowd, and out of Gu
riOsity."
'oh, la lal Well, she has told the
crow princess hat you are her friend
and. in brief, has entirely fascinated
her imperial h~ighness."
What the grand m%uitrcsse had told
me was perfectly correct, for three
days later Il dance was held, and as i
entered the room | saw amid that gay
~assemblnge tina widow of the long-for-
gotten military hero talking quite fa-
m,liarly with her Imperial highness.
