Of which there are about 50 in good standing; clergymen, and occasionally a busi- ness man or banker. There were 20 or 80 guests from Germany at Doorn House over Easter. Those persons who can make the kaiser laugh are the most welcome. IL is considered quite q success to do so, and a good many stories arc told in the en- deavor.
 The kaiser and kaiserin. with one or two members Of the staff, dine out with their ncighbors. Following the royal custom they invite them selves and name the day.

 Everybody who lives here feels that he knows the kaiser, He never misses a day. no matter what the weather in walking through the main streets. The women and girls nod or curtesy; the men and boys lift their hats or cap. William al- ways responds with a certain 1m- rressiveness by raising his own hat often saving good morning in Dutch, his face beaming. The con- trast with the automatic military salute of other days is surprising Now he is civil. He wears gray sack suit with an overcoat in darker gray. gray soft hat creased in the middle cooked at a careless angle and dark purple tie and turn doWE Collar. For dinner he puts on the fatigue uniform of a German field marshal. but he never appears Tn uniform on foot outside his grounds,
