THE EMPEROR WILLIAMS YACHT.
A visitor to Emperor William's- yacht, the - Hohenzollera, discourses of it in these words : ' The drawing room is just a trifle too smart with its palo-blue silk draperies and cover ings, bvit it has a thousand and one delicious oddments in photographs and pictures, from which one longed to be permitted to choose just one treasure. The drinkingroom is a superb saloon, and can -be divided imto two by a curtain for theatricals .^ The room I admired most was the emperor's sleeping cabin, with " its" silver mounted bedsteads, Jight wood furniture and exquisite blue hangings with wild roses and the impress of a lew favorite volumes in May blossoms on them. A big portrait of the empress and a few favorite volumes in German and English occupied a pretty table near the bed. The dressing room , with a shampooing couoh, the bath room with douches, the nurseries with their dainty cots for the little princes, and the one wee princess's exquisite, gem of a cabin must not be forgottori, or a wardrobe room, which held as many uniforms of the emperor as a fine lady would have frocks.'
