RIFT IN THE LUTE
HERMINE AND WILHELM. RUMOURS FROM DOORN. LONDON, May 5. A writer who has just returned from Holland, where lie has been in rather close touch with people forming the ex-Kaiser’s household, tells an English newspaper that domestic relations in that tragic establishment are not quite so felicious as Wilhelm, no doubt, hoped they would be when he took to himself a second partner of his joys and sorrows. It is not so many months since the ‘Kaiserism,” unable to stand the strain of Imperial society any longer, retired to Germany, ostensibly to look after her estates.
The Monarchist Party, afraid of the effects on popular sentiment of a marital rift, induced the lady to return to her spouse, and photographs were thereupon taken and distributed, showing the happy pair surrounded by the smiling stepsons and daughters of the fallen Hohenzollern.
