the niceties and refnements of etiquette The
officials had mastered every detail of a complex

it's talent for organization and by it's staten-

her royal guests in palace church she was
among her devoted Dutch subjects; and the
radiance of youthful grace and wonanly happi-
ness lent a glamour 10 the cOUrtly ceremOnials.
The sovereign was as simple and unaffected in
her delight over her wedding presents, in her
appreciation or tokens of affection and remem-
brance from her poorest and bumblest subjects.
and in her enjoyment of every scene Of the mar
