until uch Urne, as the doctors considered he would bo .able to deal with the matter?. Shortly aftr the health of the fallen monarch broke down. Gen. Otto Von Kirtorf, who, until the break-up of the German army, was the povornor of the Fortre?s of Metz, arrived at the castle with Lieut. Col. Detlef Von Moltke. There two centlemen had, I was jriven to understand, resigned, their commissions In the German army, fo a3 to permit of their Fharlnp Ihe exkaiser's exile In Holland. They were accommodated with rooms in the suite occupied by the royal exiles, and during the whole day the clatter of the typewriter was to b" heard. WVars a 1 Irani. Pix German clerks, housed in the village, came dally to the castle to deal with the correspondence, but after a while the whole Ft. -iff va lodged in thr; crtle by orders of Gen. Von Ilsdorf, who feared that if thy were allowed to remain in the. village, detail of the plans which wer' doubtls. beintr laid would become known to the entente countries. Count Rentinck wis sorely pnt to fird accommodation for nil the offjeers and men, to say nothing f the servants. Of the ex-kn 1er' persrni! uit we had Gen. K:-dorf. Count Moltk Count Gontard. the ka!er'y private erretary, Capt. Von Tlsmann. Cipr. Zeiss.

When the r--k.a !-er d'cb!ed to zrow a beard Fritz wis eveeedimTb inzry. declaring tint a hc.-rd would never suit the appearance of Wilhelm. I-atcr I heard that the ykaiser hnd decided to crow a henrd upon the ndvlccO.f Dr. Foerster. who contended that the constant shaving increased the irritation to the ear and throat, and expressed th belief that much of the ex-kafserV old trouble from the ear and throat would be obviated by the growth o i bonrl. Few Would IliYcnle Dim. Certainly the small, sharp-pointed. Iron-grey imperial which nov adorns the ex-war lord's rhln. ami the new manner in which Fritz ha trimmed bis famous moustache, allowing the end to droop over the corners of his mouth, has greatlv changed the facial appearance of Wilhelm of Hohenzollern. and few there are whn would reeognlze the j

ex-emperor of Germany in the man now at Amerongen. The afternoon was spent by Wilhelm in pacing the long, dark gallery, his hands clasped behind. fp the evening of his first day out of door. Wilhelm appeared more himself when he led his consort in to dinner with Count Ttentinck and his family. Over the table he laiiL'hed and chatted freely, and. turning to Gen. Van Ks'nrf, who acts the part of Ird Chamberlain a;. 1 keeptr of the privy purse, said. The costs of living are inereasing enormously. Mv illness has been a tax en our purse, Herr General, so we must cut down our expenses. Is it a fact that there lias been another demand for payments to th- local t.iXts?" Uy No Menu? : 1VuihtThe general. Taughing, replied thr.t such was the case, whereupon Wilhelm said, "Pear. dear. I am almost a pauper, another heavy sum to pay for the making of new roads." This was a new turn for the exemperor to take, for hitherto h- had never mentioned money matters and in fact, diil not appear to understand that money was needed to enable a man to live. Not, however, that Count Fier.tinck had been compelled to house and feed the exile and his staff without return. The costs to which the count was put to. and these were Indeed heavy. Acre refunded from the ex-kaiser's private fortune, all bills and expenses being met by the bankers at the Ha cue. who, a few days after the x-kaiser's llight from Germany, received a deposit variously estimated at from 23,000.000 to 40,0 0'000 marks. In addition to this sum. the exkaiser had money deposited in other banks, and from one of the members of the suite 1 learned that despite the actions of the socialists regarding the emperor's private estates In Prussia, certain sums of money, representing profit? derived from the many enterprises with which the fallen war lord was connected, were being regularly paid into his account in the Dutch banks. Wilhelm of Hohenzollern is by no means a pauper, rather he may be

counted amongst the world s most wealthy men. since he .has always been careful to surround himself with cautious, though enterprising, business men who have had the management of his private financial affairs Wears Chilian Clothe.. In the early days Wilhelm would array himself in all the ulory of the Truman uniform, but later he crs thl.s aside for the fashionably cut morning coat ami striped trousers of the well tailored civilian. About a week after Wllhelm's complete recovery a high -power motor car came tearin.tr up to the castle.

A sale of this kind needs no apology, only an expkination of why reductions are being made so early in the season. 4 The extreme warm weather during September and the first half of October retarded ready-to-wear distribution and as a result manufacturers in New York were overstocked and we were able to secure hundreds of garments at sacrifice prices and in accordance with Frances Shop policy we are willing to share our good fortune with you.
