[RepublIcan A. p. Leased wIrel


 LUCERNE, Switzerland, Dec. 13.-i The members of Constantine's suite, with their families and servants, will leave tomorrow for Brindisi, from which port they win depart for Athens. The departure of Constantine himself tor Venice tomorrow afternoon will be informal.
 Constantine will arrive at Phaleron, four miles from Athens, at l o'clock Sunday afternoon.
 The party will pick up the Greek council of ministers and Crown Prince George at the island of Melos and they will join in the triumphant entry into Greece. Before landing at Phaleron, Constantine will don the uniform of a generalissimo in the Greek army. There is an absence of excitement here in connection with the preparations for Constantines departure. To the 1 casual observer 1t would hardly have heen apparent today that the royal family was in the hotel. The various members of the family go in and out without fuss Or feathers, while little Princess Catherine continues to play through the corridors and in the lobby with her English governess close at hand
 Constantine is spending most of his | time in his study, going over the com munications from the Greek govern ment and answering his personal cor respondence.
 The return to Athens Is viewed by the people of Lucerne with mingled feelings of regret and pleasure; the | former feeling because Constantine and his family have endeared them selves to the stolid German Swiss of l this Alpine resort; the latter because he will have come into his own.
 Aside from the incident at Lugano, when Constantine was hooted on nls way to reside here, the exiled king s stay has been pleasant, members of his entourage say, and his life has been that of a private gentleman with mod crate means.
 i Many incidents are told here con- I corning the contact between the royal family and the people of Lucerne, but the one they like most to tell is how, when soup kitchens were necessary, the queen, who is in none too good health, and her daughters stood many hours daily serving food to the poor. Again Constantine's friendly smile as he strolled through the streets and his generally democratic bearing has ap- pealed to the townsfolk. They say of him that his conduct has been ire lproachable under difficult and trying circumstances.
 Probably the most popular member of the royal family, however. is the little Princess Catherine, youngest daughter, who was born in 1915, be- tween the two Balkan wars. She does not understand the meaning of all the happenings of recent years and now lonly knows she probably win go to live in a palace instead of a hotel. An amusing incident occurred when Premier Lloyd George of Great Britain and Premier Giolitti of Italy recently stopped in the same hotel with Con stantine. The ex-king was coming out of the public dining room when the two statesmen were going in. They passed through the double doors almost at the same time Constantine did not blinl ] an eye, and neither did Premiers LloyC George and Giolitti.
 After the election in Greece. Con stantine's msrner perceptibly changed He held his head 8 little higher and hi , eyes had more light in them. And, toe the hotel attaches bowed little lowe when the exiled king and his famil . passed. But little Catherine, who 5 the God child of the Greek army. wen on playing happily around the hote
 obvious of what was happening.
