10000 often visit it in a day. There
are guides. if you want them, and
they make their comments without
fear or favor. My guide referred to
some changes made by Frederick IL
when a German student broke in
and said: why do you say Fred
erick the Second? Why don't you
call him Frederick the Great, as he
is set down in history" Thereupon
the guide replied with a sneer: THE
title is Of minor Importance. We
can now say what we please about
these kings and queens. Sometimes
I say Frederick the Great and some
times l say Frederick Second. It is
just as I please. What is the diff
ference, anyhow"

100000. The Rrched ceiling is a
mass of gold carving and you can
see your face in the polished parouet
flooring. 1t was here that the great
dances were held and here, also, after
the opening of the reichstag, the
members came to be received by the
emperor. The room then had fine
oriental rugs, but these were stolen
in 1918, when the revolutionaries had
charge of Berlin. They took possess
sion of the palace and when they
left many paintings had been cut
from the walls and valuable art
works had disappeared.

how it had been kept in such a

had rubbed the whole, an area of
more than fifteen square feet, with

i perity of the Russians. Those
who sat at the tables near me in this
restaurant were better dressed than
the average well-to-do German, and
those 1 have met in the stores have
an air of wealth which one does not

They have made their money out of
the rise and fall of the mark and in
taking advantage of Il financial stu
alton which corresponds to that of
Russia in the first days of bolshevism.
They had witnessed the fall of the
rouble and believed the mark would
go the same way. Therefore they
turned their diamonds. pearls and
other belongings into foreign moneys
and bought foreign securities. They
bought, also, palaces, apartment build
ings, and other concrete German
properties, making small cash pay
ments, and giving notes in marks for
the balance. Their debts decreased as
the mark fell, and as a result they
have secured this real estate for a
song. A little more than a year ago.
when the mark was two or three
hundred to the dollar, the Germans
thought it had reached bottom. but
the Russians said it should have been
some thousands to the dollar long
| before that, and they made their
speculations accordingly.
These Russians stick together and
/ form a little community of their
own. When asked about soviet Rus
STA they will throw up their hands
and tell you Of the hardships they
have undergone, saying they believe
bolshevism will soon disappear and
Russia be again on it's feet. They
patronize their own theaters and con-
certs, where the language is Rus
sian; they applaud the Russian actors
and singers, and still live, as it were,
| in the land Of the czar.

closer business relations than many
people niagine. The Krupps are
manufacturing agricultural machinery
for Russia, and nearly every other

or less Russian trade. The Borsig

tives and cars for the soviet railways,

Moire ribbon is usually chosen for

sessed with the idea OF buying hats
as parts of sets. They are already
wearing, at the French resorts, hats
of very old or supposedly very old
cretonne, with matching gilets or
: waistcoats cut on severe masculine
lines, to be worn with tailored suits
and coats. Sometimes the cretonne
hat is accompanied with little
! sleeveless cretonne jacket to be worn
over a thin summer frock OF lawn or
organdie. There are hats and scarfs
of various sorts. but quite the newest
idea seen in this country is the sets
of bingham hats with ties to match

Russia and Germany is one OF the

THERE is no doubt that the Gre

role in the summer hat box. By way
Of variety some of these hats show
embroidery stitches in gold threads
or the use of narrow tinsel ribbon to
outline the floral pattern of the
chintz.
Hats with rather foppy brims-
though often they appear TO be more
dropping than they really are-are
being selected now for summer wear
and the milliners who sell expensive
hats seem confident that hats OF this
description, simply trimmed with
fruit or flowers, lace Grapes or enor-
nous choux of ribbon, will be gener
| ally acceptable for out-of-town wear
| by well-dressed women. But the
small poke remains so well liked that
| it will not pass with the passing OF
spring and coming OF summer. With
slightly wider brim it will undoubt-
edly continue in favor for many

Even felt hats will undoubtedly
continue in some sort Of favor and
will add note of distinction when
worn with a frock Of sheerest or
candle or lawn. But the leather hat
must go into retirement. for leather
is warm and stuffy at best. How
