Is violet, and ah Invariably naea S-cent violet postage stamps instead of the pleblan 2-cent red. You see how loyal, he is to her chosen color, v But although I looked for it, hot a hint of violet could I find in a gown she . wore one day at the races. It was a carefully acheraed symphony or gray ana aaimon pin, xna tninnest. Oddly-enough, this waa not a drop sklrt but wss a real lining, fastened In the hem and tacked to each' seam. . Besides this she carried a aaimon pink parasol, and the effect of the whole was extremely good. We hadn't many foreign celebrities at the races this year, and so we made a great fuse over Kurokl. - The "common herd" In the grandstand ahoved and pushed in the most vulgar way to get a look at the funny little brown man.

Harvard and Bonn By Professor Frledrlch Dernberg. - ' a - PRUSSIAN prince at an American I - university- Hamlet at Wltten M bent? - Just , the opposite. The ' at V Danish ; prince j has vldently - strengthened bis lovd of pondering and his melancholy, tendencies, while bis German colleague Is sent to Harvard to have his yea opened to the practical aide of life. Ther Is something youth fully attractive In ; the kaiser's plan, something which proves Wa faith In the future an old civilisation that wants to draw fresh strength from a new. . A comparison between the. mode of life of American and German students must force Itself upon the young prince. The German principle is ss much seclu sion as powlblej the American Jot the opposite. Which one of these principles Is rav In harmony with the spirit of the times T ' Which of them makes a man more fit to enter Into public Ufa? It is the participation of the masses In political and public life which is the most characteristic sign of our time. It la on of the most Important of all tasks to get the people to take an Interest In public affaire. ' ' To bring about this interest should be the object of every one who desires to participate ' In the molding of our political destinies. American college life lays an excellent foundation In a man, and a prince might , well rejoice to be allowed to take part In It. v At a single glance on get a very good idea of life at Harvard. Comrade ship and equality are th keynote of It . The, students have everything in common; they eat together In the gi gantic dining-rooms, walk together rom the table to the large athletic field and meet regularly in the large halls for the cut-nose of dcbatlnar auestlons of vital interest, economic or political. There Is absoluts equality, no eaate system 1 her, and If a student beoaas prominent he becomes ao only ' throuch genius or effort. It is at colleges of tnis aina mat political and solentino leaders, officers of the great army1 of How very different from this Is th Hfe of the students at German colleges! The first thing a German' student does Is to - Join a narrow circle and to cut himself off from - all communication with everybody - outside this ;. circle. Those from the same part of the coun try sues togemer, tnose wno are equal socially form their own association, Any nna vha m nutaldn tha - nnrrtim lrela ia considered an adversary, and the men sur Is the .readiness for war of all against all. The whole student life is regulated on the basis of . the "Knelp gemelnscbsf t" The erown prince. I am told, was disgusted with Bonn for this reason. His brother will have different experiences, for ther oare no greater oon treats than Harvard and Bonn. Harvard Is, besides, totally abstinent, though police news - from Boston show on that the young people know where to satisfy their craving for liquor. One professor of natural history, a genuine child of Berlin, pretended to' need it foe scientific purposes. -- - - --i German college ' life ' is surrounded with' a halo of poetry, which one does not find -to America, put many German college customs are nevertheless begin ning to be adopted in America. It is not without Importance to the relations between the two countries, that the man who dominates political Ufa as no other American statesman has ever done be for him- President Roosevelt I mean, of course Is an open admirer of and believer In the- poetry of German col lege life, for ther is no doubt, that this has made him popular in Germany. . -- Should he then really be sent , to America, It will be no less important to th young prince to study at close. range this remarkable man -and his relations with nis people than to make .a com parison between Harvard and Bonn. The president Is an -example of the kind 'of men American universities turn out. It so happens that the heads of the three great German lo nations William II, Edward VII and Roosevelt, sre the most prominent: men in' th political arena. . A comparison of their charac ters, their actions, their motives and their influence-upon their people will form the most Interesting cart .of ths history of our time. . All of them are still In full activity, and whatever may be said of them now Can enly be fragmentary: their end muat have com before thev should be Judged. Roosevelt, however, has prob ably passed the sanim of Us activity. H seems unshakably opposed to a third term, and his - deeda may :. soon be summed p. ;'. It is pleasing- to the humanitarian to be able to say that Roosevelt owes his great popularity to th fact that he Is a type of what 1 best in ' the American nation. This Is as flattering to th president as to the American people. Both people and president have, of course, their shortcomings, and possibly thsy feel so much more closely drawn to each other as even these are iden tical. - - " Roosevelt Instincts lean toward all that Is clean, good, sound and honest This Is shown in his private life aa in I his politics. , H has an intense hatred of all that la corrupt, dishonest and false, and, though hla Impulsive char acter may ' sometimes lead him to go too far, he has had a beneficial Influ ence .-upon America's whole moral tem perature. He is a man. In whom there Is nothing feminine, nothing conceited. Roosevelt' has something of the auto crat In his character, something that tastes of absolutism. He has never been a .member of congress, and . h -cares little when he occasionally step on the corns of a 'senator or representative. A presldsnt may do many things which In a king would lead to violent conflicts, for, fee, luuwwcjtfxed hU..po.wejr direst; -Jt r.:A.:-'AA .t ' ? r -ti from th people, and th and of hi term when he must retire to private life Is near.
