Muriel Wilson and Princess Henry OF Pless. This
was all very well while he was still minor light
OF the diplomatic corps but as a fun hedged am
bassador. representing not only his empire, but
likewise his venerable sovereign. 1t will be i'm
possible for him 10 take any further part IN mum
ulertes Of the stage since the unwrttten laws Of

COMPRESSOR TO A KING.
Leopold of Belgium Loses His Lord
High AIm0ner.

King Leopold has 5ust lost the services of his
chaplain or 20 use the phraseology Of the court Of
MS Lord High Almoner," through the death OF
Monsignor Simon. who for the last twenty years
mas been tnt-usted with the difficult task OF giving
religious advice TO the King and of administering
spiritual consolation to the other members Of the
royal family. He q kindly. amiable and most
uscreet man, who enjoyed the fullest degree the
confidence Of the late Queen Henrietta, OF her
daughter. Princess Clementine. and OF the Count
and Countess OF Flanders and their children. and
to his influence must be ascrfbed Princess Glenn
entlne's decision TO delay the execution OF her
project Of taking the vows OF a nun of the Order
OF the Sacred Heart until after the death OF her
father.
1t need hardly be said that the place which the
prelate occupied of extreme delicacy,
called upon. he frequently. to act media
tor and TO lend to the complaints and TO the
sorrows Of this sadly divided royal house.
His relations with the King were rather peculiar.
Leopold treated him with the most marked distinc-
ton and respect but did not permit the priest 10
demonstrate with him about his conduct Indeed,
II is record at Brussels that when on
casion, Monsignor Simon. in the most delicate waJ
ventured 10 hint to the King that his relations with
certain persons were not calculated TO set good
example 10 his subjects and could not but offend
the religious sensibties Of the devout. Leopold re-
marked to him, My dear monsignor. you must
not believe all you hear about I've heard the
most shocking things about your own conduct, but
7 do not TO believe them. Do me the charity
10 reciprocate this confidence"
The beginning of the sentence was uttered
smillngy in tones that quizzical. but the end
OF the sentence in 4 voice that sharp. cutting
and betrayed signs Of annoyance and the worthy
priest thereafter Contented himself with praying
for the Kings soul, and never again attempted to
force upon him religious advice that was not
wanted.
