The Kaiser’s Sister.

New York Tribune. One of the cleverest and most charming of the royal princesses of Europe is Charlotte of Saxe-Meining-en, the elder sister of the German Emperor. She is the most attractive of all the Emperor Frederick's daughters, and is in temperament, in will and impulse much like her brother, Wilhelm 11. She is not beautiful in feature, though her figure, like her mother’s, is exquisite; but her coloring is lovely and her personality is so piquant and dainty in detail and effect that she fascinates everybody who knows her. She might easily be pretty in an odd style if she would send her maid to New York to study hairdressing. Like most of the feminine relatives of the Princess of Wales, the German Princess wears her hair in the woolly, wiggy tower of tight curls which pan nfever, by any chance, be becomihg to anybody. It is soft, fine, dark brown hair, and she has a great deil of it—and she completely spoils and wastes it in wearing it ala Alexandra. Princess Charlotte is, in some respects, the favorite granddaughter of Queen Victoria. She is so witty, so sarcastic and full of- fun that the venerable Queen looks forward with delight to her visits, sure of amusement and exhilaration. A not particularly happy marriage seems to have little effect upon the Princess’ high spirits. She lives in Berlin most of the year and is very popular there.

There is far more satisfaction in a woman going to market herself than by doing this part of the household duties by proxy. It is genunine satisfaction to pick out, choicest and best for home consumption, and besides that in seeing so much, many new dishes aresugested that would not be thought of if the buying were done by telephone or through the mediun of a third party.
