BOGUS DECORATION.


ing a description of the banquet given t.
Mile Bernhardt. The lady adds private
postscript in which she says that she wa
present at the ba"qnent but does not wish t.
give her name, fearing thar numbers If Car
son people might charge her with egotisn
aud desire to parade herself. The lady
modssty is anits commendable and nothing
like it has ever been known in the history
of journalism. This lady mingles with dis
ringuished people and is too modest to say St"
while most female correspondents describe
themselves as honorod guests of royal ban
quets the scent IF whose baked meats they
| were not even permitted to smell through the
back door of the kitchen. The letter is rather
too long for the APPEAL. the following being
the only thing Of special interest

at supper at the Royal Hotel to meet Mile.
Bernhardt. At dessert, after several toasts
rendered others by the Chamberlain De
FalIesen, suddenly the Prussian Minister,
| Baron M .gnus, rose and uttered the follow

gives us such great artists; to France, beau

passed his glass toward Mile. B.
"Pardon me sir" said she, my glass is
empty"
Then, rising with a clear voice,

royal family of Denmark, who have shown ME
such hospitality; and like the Prussian Min

The Danes do not like the Germans very

only thunder Of applause which greeted her
keen reply, but hurrah of enthusiasm whlcn
lasted several minutes and was even echoed
outside where they were singing the "Tappre
Laudsoldat," the celebrated war song of 1863.
1t Is useless to say that the English Minister
was apparently much embarrassed, and that he
ought to have had the good sense not to have
left the supper room. Is it France or the
artist that the Christian King of Denmark
wishes to reward with the decoration of his
Order of Merit which has never been given to
any actress Either one Of the other is not

This is the decoration that the friends of the
actress are making such a parade over in
London. In reality it was never sent, for
'oma diplomatic reason that l could never
understand. 1t was in process of construction
when the jeweler received orders to dscon.
inue the making Of it, and some friends of
3ernhardt. hearing Of this, presented her
With one exactly like the one ordered. 1t did
lot, however, come from the King, but for
dvertising purposes does just as well. Yours,
