PARIS, Nov. 70, 1913.
LOUIS NAPoLEAN observation-disclosures
Louis lis below The middle size, and in
statute nearly the same as the Emperor.
His features bear no resemblance 10 the
imperial model, being more regular and
more handsome, If no, more expressive.
His figure is youthful, but his Visage is ad-
mirably lined, and marked somewhat with
wears. In short. his face bears greater.
and his 6gure less age than that given
by the almanac. His manners are ex>
,remely engaging, and marked with much
dignity and grace, without the slightest ap-
proach TO assumption. His position here,
although SO novel, sits easy upon him, and
/ have no doubl that he will discharge The
ceremonial duties on all public occasions
in satisfactory manner. He dues not
appear to be endowed with the gift OF ex~
temporaneous speaking. at least not before
a public assembly aoj in Sc, speech.
The colloquial and interlocutory part ne
cessary 10 official Interviews, he performs
sufficiently well. He speaks French
with decided foreign accent; the same
may be said Of bis English, which is other
wiso excellent.
1t is amusing TO observe the obsequious..
ness with which he is treated by those
who seek him. All sorts of persons 60 to
his receptions, and all political parties. a
day or two since, among set Of persons
presented 10 him, were two or three who
svowed themselves as red republicans, and
who iplima,ed wish that it were possible
that be could concliate the favor of their
party. Ou of this, and similar awkward
si,ua,ioos, into which he is thrown by his
u,aladroii visiters, he ex'ricates himself
with much address.
s On the whole, in observing him, the
wonder is. how one who has never before
been accustomed to wha, is called public
life, can get along SO we'll. He never trips,
and never seems al a loss. He has learned
the necessity of reserve. and when obser-
tvalions are made 10 elicit from him infor-
nation hich ought not TO be given, he
never fails to show; blythe reserve Of his
manner, that be is on 5his guard.
Such is the personage who appears at

temporarily. at the head of the affairs of
