mniscences, in which she acknowledges that the

emperor in 1913. She excuses her refusal to &C.
knowledge Graf as her son on the pretext that she

to the small private staircase leading 10 the impe
rial apartments al the Tuileries, while the holders
OF white and green tickets have to ascend the
large staircase. The names of all the guests are
entered upon book, in which curious particulars
about their characters and aDtecedents are to be
found. few days previous to a court ball, the
emperor and empress revise the list. To quite a
number of names in the guest book is the remark
" must be watched closely" The empress never
scratches out any names but those of ladies. and
Inc emperor Is frequently naughty enough to
place the names of the rejected fair ones again on
the list. Less than fifty American names are on
this list, and it is very dficult for Americans in
PARIS to obtain more than one invitation to the

French courters that there are always too many
foreign plebeians at the court balls
