Screen Of Secrecy
Veils Wedding Of
Kaiser and Princess
Doorn, Holland, Nov. 6. (By
Associated Press.) The German
ex-emperor and Princess Hermione
of Reuss were married Sunday at
the house of Doorn. This second
venture was m strange contrast
with that day in 1881 when, as
crown prince, he wedded Augusta
Victoria daughter of Grand Duke
Frederick of Schleswig-Holstein.
Several of the offspring of that
first union were present today to
set the seal of family approval to
the new alliance.
There were two ceremonies, a
civil contract drawn up and
signed by "Wilhelm II" and
"Hermione, Reuss," as they af
fixed their names; the second, a
religious ceremony conducted by
the ex-court chaplain, Dr. Vogel,
according to the Lutheran rttea.
The air of secrecy surrounding
the entire affair bas been well
maintained throughout., The
climax of the systematic mystifi
cation adopted by the household
came when the bride's sister,
Princess Ida, who resembles her,
successfully passed herself off as
the bride at the Amerlsfoort sta
tion, with an array of castle cars,
whereas Princess Hermione left
the train at Apeldoon half an hour
early and drove to the castle un
observed, those within the palace
making ttiuch of this as a huge
joke.
At the religious ceremony
which began with the singing of
the Lutheran hymn "Jesus Geh
Voran," Pastor Vogel preached
from the text "Now abldeth faith,
hope and charity." The bridal
couple occupied carved gilt arm
chairs surmounted by crowns,
while the numerous guests were
seated in rows behind them.
