IN THE WORLD
ful in the presence of a young mas as
sny rustle maiden of bygone ages. '
- When Miss Krupp appeared at Kiel In
June to attend trie unveiling of a monu
ment to her father by the Qermaa em
peror, she wore a shabby straw hat snd
a still shabbier .dress of th cheapest
cotton material. The total value. ef her
outfit was estimated by the female spec
tators present to be barely- i. During
the whole of the Kiel - week she wss
conspicuous among ths throng of per
sons of social prominence and great
wealth who congregate there by the re
markably bad taste and poor quality ef
her ooatumes which remained the same
from day to day, while all the other
ladies In evidence appeared la different
d rosace at morning, noon, afternoon and
evening, not. to speak of intervening
efaanges.
Instead of occupying a gorgeous suite
of rooms, as might be expected, she and
her sister together had a small bedroom
oa the lop floor of the hotel without
svea a maid to wait on them. Her diet
was ss simple aa her dress and corre
spondingly cheap. '
It eeeroe ta be tha definite plan of
her mother and her legal guardians to
bring her up as though she were des
tined to be the wife of some poorly-paid
employe in her own works Instead of
the awe. dealt bis mstrtseoalal.prla la
the world.
Eleven months of the year she spends
at her quiet home St Bssen, and the re
maining month la passed at some remote
watering place unknown to I he fashion
able world, where shs Is surrounded by
the earns circle as at Essen. By the
side of sny American girl of her age.
Miss Krupp would appear to the casual
onlooker to be sn Insignificant and de
cidedly second-rate young person, de
void of all the arts and graces conspic
uous in her sex as the wsstsrn side of
the Atlsntle.

ideas of an advanced liberal type. They
Include si so an Intellectual proletariat
which has embraced, with sU the ardor
of the Slav nature, the wlldeet and most
dangerous theories of Preach and Ger

tastes and tb ambltlone which edu-.
oatloa brings, with no reasonable pros
pect of gratifying either. Beneath ts
