The Kaiser’s Wardrobe.

The kaiser’s enormous wardrobe extends only to the top layers of apparel, according to the Intimate disclosures made by the author of “The Private Lives of William II and His Consort.” In the matter of shirts he is stated to he restricted to the historical half dozen of the Hohenzollem house, and even these are innocent of cuffs, a commodity William attaches with the aid of buttons and pulleys, “like any poor lieutenant.” Of socks also “never above a dozen pairs are In use," though there is no limit to handkerchiefs. But the outer garments, which could equip the marines of a first-class battleship or the officers of ten army corps, are contrasted with Frederick the Great’s wardrobe, “sold to an old clothes man for 300 thalers.”
