Love and diplomacy en tered into the marriage here of Prin cess Victoria Louise, the only daugh ter of Emperor William, and Prince Ernst August, youngest son of the duke of Cumberland. ." In brilliancy and in point of the great number of royal personages present the nuptials far outshone any similar event during the past decade. Kings, monarchs of lesser rank and crown princes and princesses saw the fair-haired, blue-eyed twenty-one-year-old daughter of the German kaiser become tfco wife of the strapping twenty-six-j ear-old nrince, and with the ceremony was healed a breach between th houses of Hohenzollern and Guelph which had existed for about half a century. The ceremonies really began two days ago, with the marriage ceremonies today as the cli max. The civil ceremony took place in the new marble palace at Potsdam; the religious rites were celebrated in this city. : ?; , .:- Princess Victoria Louise had for her attendants three of the prettiest girls of her own caste in -Europe. They were Princess Mary, daughter of King George and Queen Mary, of England; rrincess Elizabetn, daughter of Kins, Charles of Roumania; Grand Duchess Olga, eldest daughter of the Czar of Russia, and Princess Yofenda of Italy. As would be imagined, the wedding gifts are almost fabulous. Thelr'value is estimated at close to J3.000.000. The kaiser was so glad that the old quarrel with the house of Guelph was settled that, after the marriage had been arranged, he promised to create a new . German state and make the groom the 'ruler of it ; Accordinelv Prince Ernst today became the duke of Brunswick and the grand duke" of Luneberg. This gives the roune hus band a responsible Job and makes him the equaj in rank with the kings of Saxony and Wurtemburg and the prince regent of Bavaria. A consider able portion of the province of Han over, which belongs to Prussia, was added to the new states. , A man with small feet hideth them not, and she whose hands are well farmed delighteth to play chess. vvhy doth the virgin rejoice?
