Show THE CITIZEN scheme for his abdication to be worked out behind his back. in fact his abdication was public before he hud actually signed It. He complained most bitterly that he was deceived and lied to from the outset of his reign, and especially throughout the war. His ministers never gave him the truth, his military authorities never let him know how things really were, and the naval authorities quoted and stated absolutely fabricated figures. I did not give my opinion, but I can not help thinking that If a man Is an emperor one of Ills chief alms should be to employ every person and every method by which he can arrive at the truth. The Kaiser says he was treated as a nonentity by his general staff; that they made a point of contradicting every order or command that he gave; that he was turned out of the room whenever the telephone rang at headquarters, so as not to hear the commands and the real fac ts. He was never allowed to speak more than a few minutes alone with any one who was likely to give him the truth of what was going on. He was never told the true state of affairs at the front nor the strategy of his generals. lie was hustled backwards or forwards from the eastern to the western headquarters, so as ot keep him ' out of the way when his generals were especially occupied. My informant also told me that the Kaiser deeply regretted the; death of Miss Cavell and that the order for the execution had been given by a drunken general woh was personally vindictive toward England. The emperor gave an order then that no woman was to be executed without his sanction. THE PSYCHOLOGY OF DRESS. By Frank Alvah Parsons. Doubleday, Page & Co. Frank Alvah Parsons has written a dissertation on clothes. The book appeals at the outset by its simple, yet beautiful, makeup and artistic appearance. The type is admirable and of a fine black impression, a quality so rarely insisted upon by our printers. The margins are well proportioned, and the many accompanying illustrations, culled in many instances from well known masterpieces of painting and from period prints, are everything that can be desired. From these illustrations, which bring one face to face with the actual presentment of the various garments that fashion has decreed through the ages, much may be gleaned. But Mr. Parsons has contrived a most happy obligato the the pictures in the shape of all kinds of interesting excerpts, often from documents of the bygone periods, together with much enlightening information regarding the reason for the appearance of such and such garments, and the environment in which they were made and worn. In this way the reader is gradually led on to acquire, so to speak, a principle of clothes; is helped to examine and study them as an expression an almost inevitable expression of the times in which they occur. And so unconsciously we meander with Mr. Parsons, happily, learning about history through clothes. In The Psychology of Dress we take a pleasant, rambling walk through the ages, stopping to look at the modes and manners of the houses and gardens and fetes, of the theatres and coffee houses in which these gallants 19 of past ages and their fair ladies lived and loved and played and ate.
