Vienna Letter: The Emperor OF
Austria has recently inaugurated a
palace revolution. The rigid etiquette
of the Hofburg Palace is well-known.
| For instance, in 1881, on the occasion
of the marriage of the Crown Prince,
two of the Cabinet Ministers could not
be invited, not being hOflahig, or adj
missible to the Court. They were
created Privy Councillors to avoid the
difficulty. A Minister, a Field Mar
shall, q President of the Chamber can
only become hoffahig by receiving the
title of Privy Councillor or by certain
decorations. The wives of these digni-
taries, if not admissible by birth, can
never be received at Court. The hus-
band goes to Court, the wife STAYS at
home. and whenever the Emperor has
asked to make the acquaintance of this
or that woman, the Grand Master Of
of Ceremonies has invariably an
swered. Impossible NIGHT hoflahic.
His Majesty grew impatient under
this rigid rule OF exclusion, and with q
stroke of his pen wiped it out the other
day Henceforth, ministers, generals,
Judges, and a countless number of Off
Gals shall be admissible by sason of
their Office. and their wives are declared
admissible on condition of being first
presented to the Empress. The Court
cliques are scandalized and the high
priests of etiquette make wry faces as
they predict the day when the common
people will be allowed to enter the sa-
cred precincts of the HOfburg.
