COURT FUNCTION
ARIES.
Prevention of Il Shock TO the Modesty
of Young PrnceSSes.

4 friend writes to me from Munich,
says 4 correspondent Of the New York
Recorder, of Il rather amusing incident
which she witnessed during the eX-
addition of pictures that has recently
been held here Most notable among
the paintings was that enormous can
vas Of ROchegrosse representing the fall
OF Babylon. Those who have either
seen the picture Itself or its production
by print or photograph will remember
that there are a number Of ladies i'll
the foreground in costumes that Ire,
TO say the least, exceedingly decoliete,
and in poses that can only be described
as abandoned.
One day while my friend was in the
young Processes Elizabeth and Angus
TT Of Bavaria, granddaughter Of EN-
peror Francis Joseph, appeared upon
the scene with number of ladies and
gentlemen in waiting. They were be
ing conducted by the grand chamber
lain Of the cOurt-BarOn Pergler, a very
fussy and pompOus old fellow, who, as
soon as he caught sight of the Roche
crosse picture and of it's nude figures,
Immediately caused the gentlemen in
attendance to arrange themselves so as
to form a kind of human screen in
front of the painting, so that the mo-
desty of the young princesseS might not
be in any way offended.
1t appears that the spectacle thus
presented by all these chamberlains
and aides-de-camp, arrayed in line,
and by the manifestation Of anxiety
displayed by the old baron was exceed
ingly ludicrous.
1t served, however, to show that
chamberlains and court functionaTies,
who are generally credited with being
the most useless creatures imaginable,
can sometimes be turned to good ac-
count, namely, for instance, when they
are utilized as living screens.
