A ROYAL CORNER.
How the Sacred. if Lonely, Precinct w
Invaded by an American.

How the Sacred. if Lonely, Precinct was
Invaded by an American.
An American attending a wedding re.
ception in a great house in London con.
graduated bride and bridegroom and
passed the usual compliments with the
hest and hostess.
There was a great throng Of guests,
and he could not linger at the entrance
OF the drawing room when there were
many behind hin anxious to offer their
greetings.
Perceiving a quiet corner to the right
Of the bride where a gentleman and a
lady were standing apart from the other
guests he went directly to it, unwit-
tingly coming to a stop between two
royal ~personages.
The American was not aware of the
fact that he was face to face with one of
the queens daughters and had turned
his back upon another member Of the
royal family. He stood quietly looking
about, hoping to see some acquaintance
in the company with whom he might
have q chat, and soon became uncom-
fortably conscious that he was, attracting
attention and that the hostess ard bride
were casting uneasy glances i'll the di-
rection Of the corner where he had taken
shelter. While the drawing room was
crowded, the company of guests with
n consent avoided the secluded corner
where he and his two royal companions
were stationed.
An acquaintance in the background
perceived his mistake, and coming with.
in hailing distance motioned to him.
He left his two companions in exclusive
occupation of the corner, telr4ing his
back upon both as he edged his way
through the throng, while everybody
stared at him. When he reached the
spot where his acquaintance vas wait
ing for him, the stage whisper was
breathed into his ear:
"You have been poaching on royal
preserves. 1ou are a privileged charac-
ter because you are an American, but
no Eng]ishman ventures to turn his back
upon a prince or aprincess. People were
staring you out Of c%ountenance because
they took it for granted that you must
be a royal parsonage, yet they were IN.
able to identify you"
Tho answer might have been made
that every American is a sovereign hy
the divine right OF equality Of free cit
izenship. but this would have been a
meaningless pleasantly in IN English
drawing room. where social etiquette
has a sanctity superior to loyalty to
lemocratic principle.
The American thanked his friend FOR
rescuing him from an embarrassing pc.
gition, and then stood by and watched
the corner where royalty was isolated
from too close contact with the world
Of wealth and fashion.
No guest approached the royal pair.
Their presence was an act Of condescen-
sion to the host and hostess, and they
remained on exhibition al the patrons
Of this social function without having
their corner invaded. Everybody was
careful not TO approach them toe close
u, and there was q general sense Of re-
lief when they departed and tho neces
atty for backing away from thernen side
