It would bo interesting to know the reason that prompted the ex-Kaiser to hav© a silver statuette of St. George and the Dragon immediately in front df himself and his bride on the wedding luncheon table at Doorn. England has not exactly a monopoly of St. George, buti that mythical hero has no connection with' Germany, though he is one of the national saints of Russia, and also tho patron saint of Genoa. Perhaps tho ywtuette or St. George was meant to remind the guests that tho ex-Kaiser still claims & bo a Prince of Great Britain and fteland, as was evident by the de--1 Bcription of htims’c’f ho supplied _to the Dutch authorities when notifying ids wedding just before the ceremony.
