Revelations of Royal Household
By TERESA PENN MATHEWS
CHAPTER IV,
Our season in Oldenburg was grad
ually drawing to a close. General
von Emmich had appeared suddenly
several times since the banquet. He
generally remained in close and mys
terious conversation with the Grand
Duke for an hour or two, whilst re
splendent cars would wait at the door
ready to take them to some military
digplay. Sometimes he would come
1o the palace to luncheon, and often
the Grand Duke would go back with
him to Hanover and not return untfl
late at night,
Mnny other generals or military ex.
perts came also, and each one was
the center of some great demonstra
tion, The whole life was military,
we were surrounded by military, and
yvet I never then half suspected that
the “great preparation” had dlready
Legun.
1 was constantly brought forward
ind questions concerning Britain
were showered upon me. 1 was soo
simple-—~perhaps flattared that my
opinion should be asked for—but 1
fever for one instant realized how
much wag happening all around me
and in the very house In which I
lived.
“Kuitur” and Sport.
Sports, too, continually took place.
On one particular occasion soldiers
and sailors showed off their gymnas
tieg, and I ecould not help comparing
these exercises--such an evident con
spleuous display of thelr odious “kul
tur”-swith the athletic sporte 1 had
witnessed and enjoyed in Hritain ear
ller in the same spring.
The youth »f Germany takes a
pride in overdeveloped muscles, which
i# their way of improving on the
Greck model they profess to admire
and to understand so much better
than Europeans can. [ was litecally
disgusted at this exhibition, chiefly
perhaps because the German to me as
8 l,\;t of manhood is only possible
and decent when fully clothed. To
outline exactly what caused my dis
gust would not be easy, but certainly
any other woman who has lived In
Germeny and seen similar sights
would readily umderstand.
There was something repugnant to
me also in the genuine delight of the
Princesses at the performance. No
voung girl could he enthusiastic nat
urally at such an exhibition; but, of
course, it was only part of thelr arti
ficial education in which “kultur” as
the keynote and final chord Induced
them to profess to be so,
1 asked one of the officers near, who
had been in Britain and scemed less
indigenous to his surroundings than
the others, whether this was really
what the Germans understood as ath.
letic sports. He agreed that it was
more like a circus entertainment.
However, he held it to be a neces
zoy preliminary to sport, and from
hat he said 1 could perfectly under
stand that here was another example
of Germany’'s feverish desire to excel
and surpass Anglo-Saxons in their
Tational enterprises.
The next diversion was the races,
which took place during the last
week of May., The Grand Duke was
very proud of his race horses--a pe
culiar Oldenburg breed, whose sires
originally came frofi England.
Of cougse the Grand Duke heing
no longer a young man, and his re-

IN these days of the servantless
problem it's worth while knows
ing where to get something really
good to eat. Of course, there are
numerous cases and “catercttes” in
Atlanta, but very few places where
you éan get genuine home cooking
or “biscuits like .mother used to
make.” But there's one place 1
know of where, for a reasonahle

meal and one that truly satisfles

Wnation was a virtue. For our cold

furs you desire--coatees, stoles or
neckpieces—at a truly remarkable

their Ip\nly furs, and if you're wise
you'll ' make haste to take advan

membrances of England, with a few
fleeting exceptions, dating back to the
fifties and sixties, we had not very
much in common to talk about. Lulur‘
on, while we were cruising on the{
royal yacht, and I got to know the
Grand Duke better, 1 had many most
interesting private conversations
with him.
Court Etiquette,
When 1 first met hith he would
dwell chiefly on India, and always
represented himself as having given
some very good advice to those in
power while he was there., He knewi
Lord Lonsdale and Lord Rosebery,
and always spoke of them+n connec
tion with KEnglish racing as if they
were the only sportsmen worth men
tloning. I must add that it was not
correct for me to open a tople or to
give any information on a subject_un
legs asked specially to do so.
Like a great many other royal per
sonages, the Grand Duke's ideas
wanted "rubbing up,” to say the least
of it, bt It was not likely that he
would ever know it. Many people at
‘the Berlin Court told me how terribly
narrow-minded the Kaiser was on the
most ordinary subjects—simple be
cause he could never hear one fairly
discussed,
Dressed In their very best, and vy-
Ing with each other in ghowing off
their court manners, the better class
people of the little Duchy regarded
the race as their final oppertunity to
come a little nearer to the inner cir
cle of the court,
Many who were outside the pale of
“the invitation” circle came Into this
lurger orbit, and thus stood some
slight chance after having distin.
guighed themselves more or less at
the military maneuvers “of being pro
moted to higher favors. The Grand
Duke was most particular as to who
was immediately near him and his
son and two daughters, The adju
tants and aldes-de-camp were gentle- |
men of distinguished name and fam
ily and were not generally chosen
from the nobility of Oldenburg, but
certain outlying posts and duties fell
to theso gentry, and there was much |
lively competition as to who should
be nominated,
Would-be High Personages.
A certain family, Von Finck, was
ackrowledged as the first in Olden
burg. This Grand Duke had a great
respect for his family and favored
the son and daughter by choosing
them as intimate friends for his chil
dren. Another family was Von Rad
etsky, of Pomerania, but the daugh
ters of this family were just a little
less favored. These distinctions,
though not actually defined, were un
mistakable and never ignored, even
at pflvatg’l;mvheonn or visits,
We nev left the palace on any
ovecasion without ceremony, KEven to
go to church on Sunday mornings a
certain order of precedence was ob
served as to one's place In the car
ringe, the exact position of each carl
riage in the cortege, and again one's
place in church.
The procession of royal carriages
when golng to the races was an
“event” of the vear for, Oldenburg.
Everybody connected with the court,
however remotely, was included in
this procession, More than a dozen
emblazoned carriages—and a few odd
ones following -took us to the race
course.

HEARST'S SUNDAY AMERICAN — A Mewspaper for People Who Think — SUNDAY, JANUARY 261919,
llhrv:unh the whole thoroughfare of
the town we drove, 'The people stood
in crowds all the way, and the Grand
Duke, with the Prince and Princesses,
were cheered as they passed, flying
the royal flag.
Frau von Guretsky-Cornite=-VERY
important—with Fraulein won Jacho
witz and I, followed by the thre¢ ad-
Jutants, with Hetr von Mack. The
chief steward, of the court with the
other gentlemen occupled (nree other
carriages, and the varlous dignitarfes
and ladies whg had recelved the title
of maid of honor brought up the rear.
Frau von Jordan, wife of the chlet
adjutant, with Frau von Toll and a
few more ladies, were already assem
bled on the grandstand, and on the
Grand Duke's arrival there was much
ceremony, all these good ladies beam -
ing and courtesying most gracefully
on being accorded a moment of royal
notice,
We all rose at once if the Grand
Duke stood up, and waited on his
movements, ‘T'he duties of the ladies
were chilefly to remain with the
Princesses in the stand, but the gen
tlemen made a group round the
Girand Duke whenever he moved, On
this particular day I happened to be
near Rittmeister von During, the
youngest of the three adjutants,
Von During, who, as I have al
ready stated, was English on his
mother’'s side, and just returned from
England on a visit to his relatives. He
seemed rather pleased with his visit,
and told me how much he had en-
Joyed being in England,
“You must have found it very re
freshing to have left all this tiresome
military world behind you for a lit
tle,” 1 sald as I looked round on the
throngs of men in their stiff and
gorgeous uniforms. -
“Tiresome!” he ejaculated. “It is
our life--the most wonderful profes
gion in the world!"”
~ Here the Grand Duke suddenly made
a move, and Herr von During hastily
left me with “military life” written
all over him--to the very tread of his
martial swagger. He took his place
by the side of the Grand Duke, who
wished to inspect the horses in the
paddock.
Vanished Notabilities. |
Herr von During returned to me!
at intervals during the races, and we
resumed our conversation, which was
always about Britain. Of course, I
did not suppose that he had entirely
thrown off allegiance to Britain, but
1 gradually discovered that his moth
er's nationality, which was English,
counted for him only inasmuch as he
could profit by her relations, |
Later when war was declared this
fact stood out prominently, for Herr
von During proved himself my enemy
at once, and this is no doubt true of
every officer of the German army.
However, he certainly had some dis
tinction from his fellow officers, who
had not the advantage of British in
fluence in their upbringing. .
Herr von During was generally qui
eter and less obtriisively personal in
his manner; there was also that in
describable something in his tone of
foice which could not fail to be an
echo of his mother’'s more refined ac
cent,
1 often wonder now whether Herr
von During's holiday In England had
any official duty coq:ecled with it.
Certainly the bilingual German of
ficer is mostly uged as a secret agent.
Another well-known figure amongst
us before the war was that charming
young Austrian, Count George Furs
tenhury, a great fregquenter of London
society, His mother was a daughter
of the old Duke of Hamitton, who,
first married to the Prince of Monaco,
divorced him a few months later to
espouse Count Furtenburg. Like many
other great Austrian families, the
Furstenburgs had a name universal
for honor and integrity, which is now
dragged in the dust for their dis
reputable ally.
For that matter, many German fam
ilies were almost equally respected,
Where are the Stumms, the Berck
helms and others whose names are
even more familiar to us, and whose
wealth is, or was, nearly as powerful
as their names were honorable?
During the decade preceding the
war 1 was frequently in the society
of the younger E®neration of these
families, most of them budding diplo
matists, prepared to use their wealth
for the aggrandisement of their coun
try. Although they had British or
American mothers, and have since
married British or American wives,
one was never left in any doubt as to
their leanings and sentiments. Hatred
and jealousy of Britain was their rul
ing passion, held in check, perhaps,
when in our country, but openly
avowed in every word and gesture in
their own,
In those days I was so sure of Brit
ain that their conversations used to
fall on my ears as so much silly
cackle, but what valuable secret
agents these loyal sons of the enemy
must have proved! Shorn of the ve
neer which we generously mistook for
the foreign equivalent to our ancient
traditions, they go undisguised-—the
unlovely counterparts of Von Papen
and Karl Graves. @
A Spy and His Wife.
In the war of 1870 France was be
trayed by a man of the same caliber,
In Paris Count Henckel had been
with his wife—a Russian adventuress
known formerly as La Paiva—one of
the most fashionable figures. He
basely spied on the inner workings of
France, and with the help of his
wife's unscrupulous friends succeeded
in procuring information of vital im
portance to Germany. This he passed
on to Bismarck, who was thus in
spired to exact that infamous indem
nity paid so nobly by our ally.
For his services to Germany Count
Henckel received the title of Prince
von Donnersmarck, and his wife dy
ing shortly afterward, he married
again, and settled down in his do
mains in Silesia. He did not dare to
return to Paris for 40 years, but had
enormous influence, owing to his
wealth, in the affairs of his country,
After the fall of Bismarck, his
friend, Prince Donnersmarck, obsti
nately refused to see the Kalser, and
was only prevailed upon to do a} dur
ing recent years by the entreaties of
his second wife, an ambitious little
lady, the story of whose life would fill
an interesting volume,
In 1912 Prince Donnersmarck, with
his wife, ventured once more to visit
Paris, but thelr movements were not
exactly free In spite of the old gen
tleman's advanced age. His sons, born
after the Prince was 60 years old,
have been brought-up to toil lke
workmen in the mines of Silesia, most
of which, with extensive railways and
other concerns, they will eventually
own.
1 once had some interesting con
versation with Prince Donnersmarck,
which wonld be quite worth while re
peating, dbut just now I must finish
telling you about the time of the races
and the different well-known people
who frequented the court of Olden
burg.
Really the races were not so very
interesting. 1 was rather glad when
I saw signs of the end in the form of
ceremonial good-byes.
A very n\-—c visitor to the court
prw e
of Oldenburg was Freiherr vom Plat
tenburg. This gentleman was almost
at home at the court because his sis
ter, now marrieft.to a Russian, Baron
Kolm, of the Baltic provinces, had
been fifteen years lady-in-waiting on
the Grand Duchess Ellzgbeth. He
haeld some exalted positioh at the
’ head of Lloyds Shipping Company,
and according to himself, was an in
dispensable link between the German-
British-American shipping' interests,
Conceited Germans.
Herr von Battenburg spoke Eng
lish with a strong American accent,
which he acknowledged, and of which
he was most proud. He sald to me
once that it was the right accent for
a German to acquire, hecause it might
bappen that a German would find it
convenlent to pass for an American.
This gentleman was chiefly notice=
able for his genial manner and the
‘ perfect correctness of his rp,nlre. He
‘rtalkpd a great deal, and with tremen
dous confidence, yet not exactly with
the aggressive boastfulness which 1
had become accustomed to expect
from his countrymen. He drank great
quantities of champagne, which did
‘not appear to affect him in the leaat.f
‘and he was favored with neveral‘
glasses of the Grand Duke's special
cognac,
For some reason—perha ecnuse‘
he spoke English-—Herr v atten
burg was always put near at table, 1
He talked quite familiarly about peo
ple whom 1 knew in England, and‘
claimed to be the great personal
friend of our important shipping mag
nates. A great advocg(te of peace, he
had some special syStem by which
to bring about an understanding
which would join German and British
mercantile interests, and by which the
two countries would hdéld the trade of
the world against all other countries.
“How do you expect Britain to con
sent to this, being that It goes
against all our traditions?” I inquired.
“Why should we deliberately change
our policy just to please Germany at
the expense of other countries?”
My words were only received with
thinly veiled sarcasm by the company
around, who hung on Von Platten
burg’s words as if he were a god.
Notleing this, I quickly exclaimed:
“Where would Germany be today if
her growing mercantile trade had
suffered in the way that thep propose
other countries should suffer?”
Von During made some scornful re
ply, and went on excitedly into some
long rigmarole, but every now and
then I was given to understapd that
the English were fools, our mercantile
policy was as dead as a door nail, and
our only hope lay In Germany's mag
nanimous offer to join forces and
crush the ambitions of rival countries
before it was too late,
It surprised me very much to hear
the gentleman from the Baltic prov
inces indorsing the opinions of his
brother-in-law. He pronounced his
own country a negligible quantity as
to trade. It was only a matter of
time for Britain and Germany w]
have all Russian industries in their
hands. The wealth of Russia was to
be confiscated under their scheme, al
though the word they used corre
sponded to the word ‘“‘organized.”
These evenings—or rather dinners
—for most of the time was passed at
table—became in the end rather te
dlous to me. Had I only known that

myself of a fitting reply each time
the cccasion offered, I used to find
myself rather bored, -
The Grand Duke, smoking his ducal
clgar at the head of the table, never
secmed greatly interested in the eter
nal topie, Some of his remarksabout
England were hot always™™ the best
of taste,
“Are the streets of London still
thronged with drunken women?” he
inquired of me at the table one eve
ning in quite serious tones,
Snubbing the Grand Duke.
Prince Nicke in a paroxysm of de
light, then yielded to one of his fits
of shrill Jaughter, and imitated tHe
nodding, stupid head of a drunken
person, which his natural physiog
nomy allowed him to do remarkably
well without much effort.
“Your royal highnegg is no doubt
aware,” I replied gravely, “that the
British law is very lax in the matter
of admitting aliens. The inhabitants
of certain parts of London could
scarcely be said to represent fairly
the British race exclusively, I have
keard that it is possible to see a
drunken woman in the streets if one
visits certain areas where these for
eignerg are to be found, but for my
own part I have never witnessed such
a sight, and if I had I should have
dismissed it from my mind as un
worthy to dwell upon or recall.”
Herr von Wedderkonk, one of the
adjutants who, aithough a German
officer, was a gentleman, so far
risked his roval highness' displeasgre
to say, “Well said, Miss_Pen Math
ews.” ‘ ‘
To do them justice, I really think!
nobody regretted my frank manner
lof speaking. The Grand Duke, per-‘
' haps, accustomed to his remarks be
ng received with flatteping enthusi
asm, did not altogether relish my re
ply. Afterward he contented himself
by asking me about the suffragettes.
~ “Is it true that they have really!
‘burnt down Buckingham Palace?”
~ As 1 did not expect to find a Ger
‘man, much Jess a Grand Duke, capa
ble of following 211 the issues in
volved in the woman sfiffrage move
ment, I allowed this and other sallies
to pass. |
The Grand Duke had some admir
able qualities, such as reliability.‘
punctuality ard a wonderful serene
temper, and his life was remarkably‘
well ordered. He never spared him
self, and took definite trouble to con
duct his little court exactly on the
same lines as that of Potsdam,
Fraulein von Bulow, who had been
frequently at the Kaiser's court, was
much too well bred to make any com
parisons between that and the one at
Oldenburg. Sometimes I heard, how
ever, Frau von Gur-elsk*l express her
horror of the people who were re
ceived by the Grand Duke. Raising
her hands after some such assembluage
28 we found at the races, she would
exclaim, “Was fur sente—lieber Gott”
(Great Heavens! What awful peo
ple!) With that she would roll her
eyes and arrange her aquiline fea
tures in the manner she deemed cor
rect and fitting for her great position
