tact Upon him depend the numerous audiences
and receptions. He informs the monarch Of all
happenings In the court circle; he prepares the
travelling programmes, and after getting the
Emperor's approval. sees that they are properly
executed. He regulates more or less the daily
routine Of the Emperor's work. He directs his
Majesty's attention To his many obligations,
while dividing the tasks 50 as to prevent over
work. yet guarding against too great delay Ia
the discharge OF important duties. He is the
man to whom distinguished persons anxious to
talk with the Emperor must appeal, and he IS
the man who selects the names Of those to be
presented. lie also prepares the list Of guests
TO be invited to court receptions and dinners"
The Count OF Eulenburg has done all this for
years without n misstep. With the aid OF
Count StillfTied- Alcantara kattOwitZ he has
steered safely between the Scylla and Charybdis
of the many gala dinners. baptisms, consecra-
lions, and weddings with which the Emperor
has overwhelmed his court in recent times. He
can distinguish TO a hairs breadth between the
real and tho unreal councillors Of u dozen
classes, and can slip a municipal delegation
through an imperial audience without a halt or
mistake from Mayor down to clerk. lie has the
whole imperial establishment reduced 20 such a
fine point OF exactness that hundreds Of strange
princes and high officials are put through
tho most elaborate ceremonies with the ease
and accuracy Of oiled machinery. AT u wedding
celebration, for instance, he never forgets that
the Prince Of RAdolin must hand the Emperor
his soup, and that the Prince Of Hatzfeldt must
pour his wine. He even looks over the designs
