How Court Ceremonies Are Carried Out Al
the Austrian Capital.
The court festivities which are now
being held in honor of the Archduchess
Louise and the Saxon prince, who may
be heir-presumptive to the throne OF
Saxony. have shown all the Viennese
once again how admirable are the ar
rangements for court pageantries in

of the Order of st. Patrick in Dublin,

his work, once wrote that ''the foolish

ness" This never could be said in
Vienna. Punctually to the time ap.
pointed in any court ceremony, what
ever it may be, the emperor appeared
cool and genial and the audience rise
at once like one man to receive him.
Nor is there any crowding. Prince
Hohenlohe, the grand master Of the
imperial household, and Prince Hum
yadi, the grand master of the cere-
monies arrange between them as to the
number of seats to be disposed of, and
not a seat more than the proper num-
Der is given away.
All the ladies and gentlemen invited
are comfortably seated, and there is no
crushing of dresses or pushing into
places. Everything is so ordered that at
the opera gala performance or at the
court concerts all the guests are quiet
ly installed at least quarter of an
hour before the court arrives, and when
the emperor comes in the general rising
of ladies and gentlemen is really a
striking sight. The men wear their
uniforms or their national costume, or
they appear in dress clothes with their
orders, and the ladies blaze with all
diamonds which they possess. The en-
peror comes forward composedly, takes
a general survey of the audience, and
then takes his seat He does not ap-
p.aud himself, but by calm bend he
notifies when applause may be given by
the audience. 1t may be added that all
persons attending the opera or court
concerts on gala occasions are treated
as the emperor's guests. Between the
