Gorman prince, lias written a booh, in which sho describes how the children were t-aupht to play at flying Zoppeliiw and dropping bomh.s on a model of Londou. Tiw Kaiser was an occasional visitor. She found him affable and condescending- after ho had satisfied himself that .she wm not a suffragette, whom ho held in lively detestation.
