WILDBAD, BLACK FOREST,
Germany, July 23.-Hermine speaks
Of the Kaiser with affection but
without affectation. Never does
she picture their relationship as
in the nature of couple of turtle
doves; rather, she. presents it as
that ideal comradeship of couple
matured in the crucible of life's
trials and tribulations, but both
IN their prime, both imbued with a
spirit to make the best of it.
Neither Of them will ever 90

Curiously minghng with her
womanly charm is ever apparent

Kaiser Lives Simply ,
Now and then when the con-
versation touches upon pitfalls at
tending her position as the kaiser
wife or upon the everlasting gossip
which scandal monKers shower upon
her, there comes a defiant flash in
her eyes and her lips tighten ever
so slightly. In those moments she
embodies unbeatable energy and
will power.
Naturally our talk turned. to the
kaiser and his life in Holland. The
empress told me he gets up early
and spends most Of his morning
working in his garden: he doesn't
pretend to be a super-gardener and
willingly listens to the advice OF
the professional caretaker. He
doesn't dictate. but helps. So much
so that his work actually means
considerable saving to the doom
exchequer.
He does the work Of two or
three men. Chopping wood is nc
longer his sole outdoor occupation.
He does everything common
gardener does. waters flowers, cuts
bushes, pulls out weeds. in short,
makes himself useful in the truest
sense of the word.

This keeps him physically fit. He
