EX-KAISER’S SISTER

PRINC ESS ” REJUVENATED.” (Australian & N.Z. Cable Association.) LONDON, Nov. 3. Europe continues to take a lively interest in Hie wedding of the exKaiser’s sister to Zoubkoff, which is intensified by the ex-lvaiser’s protest against it. A sensational sequel is the publication in the Paris newspapers which are giving much prominence to the romantic revelations of a .mannequin known as Suzette, who claims that she shared the affections, and fed and clothed and housed Zoubkoff oil one of the numerous occasions when he was down and out.

Suzette says she met him in April when he was without a farthing, and his clothes were in rags. She sorrowfully admits she was attracted by his good looks and magnetised by a tale of escapades, and so invited him to share her apartments. Zoubkoff told her of his meeting with Princess Alexander. “ He used to laugh at this grotesque old woman and amuse mo with liis satires of how he used to walk with his arms linked in the Princess’s own. on the banks of the Rhine in the moonlight.” Suzette proceeded to relate that Zoubkoff one day hurst into her room waving a letter from the Princess and cried: “She wains me to marry her. She’s had a rejuvenation operation, and although sixty-three, looks thirty.” Suzette was intensely angry. The Berlin newspapers declare that the Princess’s youthfuliiess a few months before the engagement has been the subject of frequent facetious comments in society. The Princess now admits she paid a Spanish doctor handsomely for rejuvenation treatment, which consisted of remainin' l ' in a dark room two months, while her body was enveloped in a thick substance, impeding movement. She was also massaged and had a serum injected regularly. AA’hcn the wrappings were removed, she was so entirely transformed that she fainted when sh looked in the mirror.
