Knther nnd son, the paper snys, never correspond when apart nnd hardly ever speak when they meet.

If the Crown Prince Is compelled to communicate with the Kmpcror he does It through a court official, Ills Majesty, It Is pointed out, did not review the Crown Prince's regiment during the recent manieuvres. The heir to the throne had the regiment drawn up and nwalted the Kmperor, who finally sent nn nld to review It. The Prince was deeply offended nnd complained openly of hl.i treatment. It I stated that the Crown Prince's iintl Gnvertimcnt demonstration In the I llolchsfig some time ago still rankles his father, who nlso disapprove of some of his son's companions nnd his dlsln- cllnntlon for certain duties.

Drexel, nnd Mrs. James Henry Smith. The Infant, who looks the typical Gould, uttered lusty screams during the christening, greatly delighting the superstitions persons who cling to the housewife's belief that a lucky child will cry during such ceremony. Lady Decles, the mother, who wns charmingly dressed In gray velvet, was one of those who looked pleased when her daughter screamed. There was nn army of snapshotters scattered about the church and they Invaded nil places except the Interior of the edltlce.

At the christening party perhaps the nearest rivalling attraction to the baby were the child's aunts, IMIth nnd GlorU Gould, the daughters of the grandfather, George .1. Gould. Gloria, who Is and Kdlth. who Is 11, were the cynosure of all the eyes of the adults on nccount of their precocity. Gloria astounded every one by speaking Krench, German nnd Italian equally with Kngllsh and carrying on her conversations with fidelity to the nccent and the grammar: nlso hv reciting verses In each language ln the most shv nnd delightful manner.

Kdlth, with the maturity of 11. has already developed vaulting ambitions. "I want to be famous," she said. "I love clever people, particularly people who write poetry. I first felt like wrung poetry at 7.

"Nature appeals to me prtetlcally nt springtime, which I love better than any other season, because then things are coming to life and there's movement and action as well as beauty. I don't like to talk about writing because so many people think It Is silly and Inugh at what a little girl does, I can't bear ridicule." During the discussion Kdlth's father had his arms on his young daughter's shoulders.

"My dear," he said, "why do you want to be famous?" "Why," she answered seriously, "to feel that I have done something thnt will live to be remembered. Isn't that worth while?" Kdlth Is a big ghi for her age and has the characteristic olive complexion of the Goulds, nnd big, soulful eyes full of Imagination. She has quite collection of her little poems, her most ambitious effort reaching twelve verses. Mr. and Mrs.
