DINING WITH ROYALTY.
Customs Observed at the Public Dinners O
Queen Victoria.

Customs Observed at the Public Dinners of
Queen Victoria.
Dining with the Queen is a great
honor. OF course, full court dress must
be worn by the ladies; the gentlemen
either wear their court dress or the
Windsor uniform, which is really an
ordinary dress coat faced and cuffed
with red silk, and adorned with gilt
buttons instead of the ordinary black
ones
The guests assemble beforehand in
waiting-room-at Balmoral this is called
the ante-room. but at Windsor the
grand corr dor is used for this purpose.
They range themselves in two rows, the
ladies on one side and the gentlemen
On the other, and the persons of higher
ranks are placed furtbest from the
door at which the Queen will enter
About o'clock the Queen appears, and
when she has received the salutations
OF her guests she passes down between
the two rows to the state dining-room.
and goes stra 'ghtin to dinner
The guests join n couples and follow
her During nner there is very little
talking The guests converse among
according to etiquette to speak loud.
From time to me the Queen speaks to
some one OF her guests; but as it is not
proper to disagree with her, there is
naturally not very much done in the
way OF conversation between her Mai.
esty and her subjects Dinner usually
lasts for an hour or so, after which the
whole party ad iourns to the drawing
room. Here the Queen makes few re-
marks to each guest in turn, which the
latter reply to suitably and without the
smallest trace of originality.
This ended, the Queen returns to her
private apartments and the dinner party
is ended. 1t must be added, however,
that dull as these entertainments are,
there is not single person who would
seriously wish never to be present ct
one, for an invitation to dine at one of
the royal palaces with the Queen is the
highest social honor that can be con-
ferred on subject-The Lady.

SOME GERMAN CUSTOMS.
They Are Decidedly Amusing Even If They
Are the Proper Thing.

They Are Decidedly v Amusing Even III They
Are the Proper Thing.
Most of the marketing done by the
servant gir.s, who carry immense
baskets, and bring home every thing
for the day-potatoes and other vege-
tables meat and sometimes the bread.
They never have hats on their heads,
nor any parasols. Ladies go to market
with their maids, and they bring the
bag or basket in the street-car. A seat
is bought for the vegetables and often
you must sit next to them, and II they
happen to be in corded bag and among
them are some soft articles the Juice
may inundate the seat and the floor, as
did that from an old lady's gooseberries
before me one day.
When you go into a store every one
says 'iguten morgenI" when you buy
any thing they thank you ''sehr," heart
lily. When they give you change you
must thank them heartily (danke,
sebr"), and you go out all join in q
chorus of ''adieu." When a gentleman
gets onto car the conductor and he
both tip hats. When you get of the
car he bows to you, or If he gets of he
bows to you and bows to the conductor.
When you are at hotel table, strang-
ers, if German, party rise when you
