Stockholm, November 24. \ Tim impending divorce of Princo William, of Sweden, is causing tre-

mendous interest. It is stated that the Princess indulged in remarkable pranks at pri-1 vate parties, pouring, champagne over tim guests’ heads whilst High Court

functionaries were present. They had their full share of wine both inside and outside.

The Princess arranged fancy dress balls for working people, appearing in the costume of a page-boy and dancing for hours with girls, but was not discovered.

I ndoubtedly, she is possessed of a temperament not suited to the restraint of court life, preferring to mix with the middle classes, wl#ue unfettered and natural vivacity is possible. The Prince is going to Africa on a hunting expedition. The divorce preliminaries have been amicably settled. The Princess’s dowry of £'.'loo,ooo is being returned untouched.

Thi' son, Lennart, will remain at Sweden under the care of Ids uncle and aunt, but he will be sent to his mother for two months in the year to spare the embarrassment of her coming to Stockholm.

fPrincc William, second son of the King of Sweden, married the Czar’s cousin, the Grand Duchess Marie in Mav. 1908).
