THE TRIALS OF AN EMPRESS.''
Zita of Austria-Hungary Holds, Ad-
vanced Democratic Views.
It is astonishing to read of a young.
and charming queen who lives in this
day and generation under a surveil-
lance so close as to suggest the •ro-
mance and intrigue of mediaeval
years. The heroine of the story,
which Current Opinion has collected
from- various •Continental papers, is
Zita, Empress -Queen of Austria -Hun
gary. The part of villain in the
drama, which according to European
'newspaper ,gossip began during a
visit of the German Emperor and his
consort to Vienna, is said to be played
by the Kaiser and the Kaiserin.
The Hohenzollerns were much
troubled. It appears that Zita pre-
fers the fashions current in Paris to
the fashions that you see in Berlin.
The Germans complained that the lady
was dressed as if she were going to
a French restaurant.
The Empress -Queen is also accused
of having set her court in a roar with
comic drawings of the skirts andf t
• of exalted ladies in the suite of the
to. tolerate a practice of dispensing
with stockings, after the new „Berlin`
mode, and is, accused of wearing a
corset smuggled into Vienna .from
Pattie a thing forbidden to the -Ger-
inan Empress herself.
Another source ' of •discord is the.
persistence of Zita in using French
as the language` of the nursery. She
prefers, it in corresponding with her
brothers now fighting with the allies.
Even tle Booking at the palace is
French, for Zita cannot, we learn, en-
dui,e sausage, and the mere name of
pumpernickel gives her indigestion.
An embarrassing episode was nar-
rowly averted on one of the i-Iohen
zollern visits by her ignorance of the
words of "Deutschlahid .ober Alles."
.Anc f•her patriotic hymn was sui_cti-:
tuted, but the lady did not know that,•
Early
in her married life the Bour-
bon
Zita discovered, the Figaro in-
forms us, that her youthful consort,
although attractive,°'is no intellectual
prodigy. Her effort" to atone for -his
deficiencies by .;her own mental guts
is responsible for the course of re-
cent political history at Vienna.
She is said to have begun a Cor-
respondence with the Pope, which had
not gone far when it leaked out that
her letters were intercepted. Zita
-threatened to take refuge in the cha-
teau of B.runnsee, where her sister
spent so long a time, or to fly to the
"lie ineey in which) another sister is
immured. The Ernpre" s Zita soon had!
her own faction at court, a faction .1
understood ,iii Italy to be distinctly
hostile to the Hohenzollern interests.
Berlin took drastic measures: 'Three
of her ladies in waiting were dismis-
sed. A French governess for - the
children was detained only after a'
prolonged contest. All that we learn
from certain Italian newspapers.

•Korniloff, while distributing prizes at
a gymnasium class for cadets at
Petrograd, seized the opportunity to
give the students at lecture in regard
to. the softness of the rising genera-
tion as contrasted to the toughness
of the generation to which he himself
ll''elonged.
"Why, when I was a cadet here," he
said, "we made it a rule to gather ep
the banks of the Neva every morning
in the spring, summer and autumn
and swim three times across, the
river."
The' statement was received in
chilling silence, followed by a burst of
applause when a student asked in a
puzzled tone:
"In that case, Asir, may I' inquire
how you managed about your
clothes?"
