Berlin. Feb. 15.-The mistress Of the
German presidential residence is a
comely haus frau, Of medium height
and slender who up to the present
time has always attended to her own
household duties, done the family
cooking and has even been her own
dressmaker.
Frau Louise Ebert, wife of the pres
ident Of the new German republic. was
born As years ago in workingm2 n S
home in Bremen. She views her Jew
social environment with resignation.
The eldest son Of the family. Fried
erich Ebert Jr.. has entered newspaper
work. The second son, aged 20, was
only recently discharged from the
army.
The only daughter, Amelie. 10, only
a short time ago was employed as a
clerk by a down town firm.
President Ebert lost son In the
fighting in Macedonia and another in
the Chemin Des Danes operations.
The family up to two weeks ago
had been living in suburb Of Berlin,
but now is installed in official apart
ments Of the department Of the inter
ior in the Wilhelmstrasse which for
merly were occupied by high officials.
The permanent official residence of
the new president has not been deter
mined upon and President Ebert has
expressed aversion to the Bellevue pal
ace as such residence on the ground
that it is "too imposing"
The question Of official receptions is
already worrying certain circles in the
capital who contemplate with some
concern the shift from the splendor of
the Hohenzollern levees to the threat
,ened Jeffersonian simplicity Of the new
regime.
