her ma jestys health has not permitted her to
endure the fatigues of this function. The
ceremonial take. place in the throne room of
the palace, and is preceded by the serving of
a meal III four courses 10 the almsmen. The
dishes are placed on the table and removed
by the emperor and the arcIdukes There is
no eating, but the dLshes plates, glasses, nap
kins and covers are all placed in boxes, EN-
blazoned with the IMPERIAL arms, and these
are carried 10 the residences of the old men
Aprayer is then mtoned and, the right leg of
each man beiug hared by court servants, the
emperor kneels and pours little water out
of golden basin over each mans foot and
concludes bis pinus office by hanging purse

This morning the ceremony was attended as
usual by the principal ministers and court
officials and by several members of the diplo-
pnatic body, including the ambassadors Of
