A witty Characteristic Of his brother. Prince
Victor Napoleon. Is attributed to him.
After a dinner, at which the chances of
the restoration Of the Empire had been the
chief topic of conversation, Prince Louis Is
reported to have said:
IF the crown were brought to Victor on
a silver plate he would turn the plate
over to see II there was not a trap be-
meath It."
In connection with Prince Louis's eojourn

NOR current two years ago with regard to
his projected engagement TO the eldest
daughter Of the Grand Duke Vladimir.
However. people closely in touch with the
Grand Duke contradict these rumors most

Topics OF conversation and gossip Of
more immediate interest in diplomatic draw

One morning not long ago a brief COM
munication TO the press stated that Kara
theodory Enendi. the Sultans Minister in
Brussels. had been deprived Of his post and
that Munir Bey. Ottoman Ambassador in
Paris. would be placed in charge Of the
Belgian Legation. in addition to his own.
This naturally caused a sensation in Brus-
ssls. TO which court Karatheodory Enendi
had been accredited for the last twenty
five years. He was the dean Of the Dip
lonratic Corps and special favorite at
court and in high society.
King Leopold personally interested himself
in the matter. and at his Instance steps are

the Government WAS called upon to propose

still has force.
