does not ever have a dining-room or

may be, and in the palace of Stamboul
the menials at the dinner hour first
search out His Majesty and then, In
long procession, bring the banquet, Ia
Bile and all.
The table is a silver one, and perhaps
tine most equisite table that has ever
been made.
The dishes are covered and sealed
with the imperial seal, which is put on
in the kitchen by the grand fvizier, the
idea being that the Sultan may be GER
tain that his food has not been poison
ed or tempered with.
All at once the dishes are set upon
the table, vegetables, meats, ices and
comftures being arranged in front of
His Royal Highness without any re-
gard to courses or ordinary dinner reg
