1t is well on to o'clock before the
stream of official receptions ceases, and
by this time the Kaiser Is ready for a
hearty lunch, when he is again Joined
by his consort, and ii is rare for their
Majesties not to have from eight to n
dozen guests at this meal-guests OF all
kinds and degrees, from ambassadors
to artists and from generals to journal
ists--no, 1t is only at the latter that
the Emperor draws the line. These

Every French word is banished from
the menus, though the honors Of the
kitchen are divided between n French
and a German chef, and French cham
pagne is now also served. The chief
courses are served on silver the rest
on Berlin china. The kitchen work is
done by contract, $1.S7 being the amount
allowed for every DINNER guest, though
on specially grand occasions the sum
is raised to as much as $3.50. The royal
cellars contain n rich assortment of the
finest wines in existence.
