joining n magnificent chorus intoned
one of Memberships superb psalms.
The illustrious groupranged themselves
before the altar, and Dir. Kogel, court
chaplain, began the impressive ceremo-
ny. As the wedding rings We're ex-
changed heavy artillery doomed forth
the kings salute Of l0l guns. The roy
al families exchanged congratulations,
and the cortege returned again to the
White hall for ii short reception, and at
O'Clock we We're summoned again for
the great wedding banquet. Unques-
tionably this banquet was the most
unique of modern times.
Covers for 100 persons were laid on
tables arranged in the form Of a horse
shoe in the Hall of Knights None but
those of princely blood was to sit at
these tables The most noble and dis

They alone talked and laughed i'll an
unconstrained manner. The wedding
