allowed his ministers to attend to the
details of the government but has d.
rected its policy himself, and many
amusing stories are told of his pecu-
liarities in this respect. He hated a
function and speech, and the people
have learned to make their ceremonies
and their address as brief as possible
when the king is expected, because as
soon as. he thinks the proceedings
have lasted long enough he calmly
arises and terminates them, no matter
what Is going on. The late Queen
Louise was "a great. stickler for eti-
quette, and so is the king for that
matter. He insists upon the punctual
observance of every formality from
others, although he. neglects every
thing of the kind himself. He requires
the officers of his army to be scrupu-
lous concerning their uniforms, their
salutes and their decorations; and the
officers of the court are always in
state of anxiety lest the king should
detect them in some delinquency. But
he sets them very poor example him
