Tn. Royal FANNY AZ Ban In a.rllq-

4 l[oorrsspondence Of theN York Times.l
The Court appeared in the Royal boxes
toward 10 O'Clock, and everybody tried to
get a place opposite them, for two-thirds
Of the visitors had only taken tickets that
they might have an opportunity Of seeing
the King and his family. After a while
the King rose to go ON the floor An usher
or subordinate master Of ceremonies, clear
ed the way Then came Baron Won Huesen
General Superintendent OF all the Royal
theaters, leading the Lady Stewardess OF
the Queens household, Countess Haake,
whom remember very well when she
was a very pretty girl--abOut Forty years
ago. Then the Queen, led by one of the
Princes, and then the King leading young
Princess Frederic Charles In all, there
were aboutten couples of course people
were anxious to be near the cortege to
catch the eye of the King, and many of the
curious had their coat tails badly torn in
the crush.
Baron HueIsen looked very well. He is
a handsome man, and was dressed after q
fashion that would have delighted even a
Partisan tailor ] am sure all his subordl-
nate theater tailors, wardrobe masters, and
hair-dressers must have been consulted.
His many orders and ribbons were distrib-
uted in very picturesque manner In
his hand he carried his staff. He was once
a lieutenant. At the Court festivities he
made himself prominent by his talent for ar
ranging tableaux viVants, and as he was
liked by the ladies, he got his present
place. The Press treat him very badly,
and say that he Is the most miserable SUI
perintendent of the theaters that ever was,
but the playhouses are always crowded;
and in spite Of all critics he maintains his
position.
The Queen looks extremely well for her
age, and even better than the Princess
Charles, her sister, who married the
Kings brother. l saw both of them when
they entered Berlin in 1927, and they were
then rather pretty. They were very be-
comingly dressed on this occasion, but, II
you would offer me million, / could not
describe their toilet, nay, did not even
notice the color Of their dresses. The
Queen, who was always noted as "a very
clever lady, Is said to be very caprieious
now, and two of her principle ladies Of
honor are said to have rendered their resig-
nations, as they cannot submit 10 the royal
whims any longer I see the Queen fre-
quently, as in bad weather even she often
walks near my dwelling. A carriage and
four, with an eqnerry before and behind
follows her and her lady attendant on the
road. ~
0fall the royal ladies' present Princess
Frederick Charles is the handsomest She
seems to be a great fayofite of King Will
! liam, for he gave her his arm and was al
ways behind her chair in the box. The
wife OF Prince Albrecht the younger, the
nephew Of the King, has reddish hair and
is not pretty at ALL The Crown Princess
was not there, as she Is still in bed with her
baby DR.! Graem, who attended her, and
is said to receive for each days services
during his absence from London 50 900 in
gold, has left, but remarked to friends of
mine that next year be would return to
Berlin for the same purpose. fl
was most pleased with the appearance
of old King William. He was as straight
as an arrow in spite Of his great age, and
wore his uniform with the grace and case
of young lieutenant His face looked
healthy and even youthful, and bore an ex-
preston of benevOlence and kindness. He
looks as If he would live twenty years
longer. In passing by he nodded most
cordially to the persons who bowed to him
most respectfully, but not with their
sleeves.
TO me the Crown Prince is the most
agreeable Of all. lie IS about five feet ten
has broad shoulders and fine manly
figure. He is fair, and wears m0ustaches
and long, silky beard. The expression
Of his manly face Is as pleasant as can be
for il Is natural and extremely kind. Tn,
: ladies are,of course, in ecstasies about him
and everybody loves him with the excep
ton Of the highest aristocracy, to who's
J taste he is not sufficiently dignined. 81
