HOW ROYALTY EATS
William Of Germany Likes Plain
Foods-COnSu4nes Them Rapidly.

How ROYALTY eats IS q subject of interest both
to those who invest regal consumption with super
human attributes and to those who believe that
all men are equal when they sit down to dinner.
The Emperor OF Germany II appears, is neither q
gourmet nor gourmand. He enjoys merely ro-
bust appetite. and eats with rapdity that is the
despair of his hosts. Court etiquette demands that
the walters should take away ell plates as soon as
the monarch has finished particular course.
This established rule once led to an amusing in
cfdent says the belgian STAR OF Brussels. quot
ing from the French author of '"SoVereiGns IN
Slippers" Among the Ernperor's dinner guests was
an old sea dog, Admiral d. whom his majesty
liked for his bluff manners and frank speech. Dur
ing the repast there brought a certain dish
which the old mariner attacked with voracioUs
pleasure. hut he could not make much headway
owing 70 the fact that the Emperor. who was not
particularly fond of that dish, piled him with oues-
tions-
Suddenly his majesty ceased eating. The walters
rushed forward TO remove all plates. One Of them
was stretching his hand 10 seize the admiral s
Mate when the latter gave him sharp rap on
the fingers with his fork and roared angrily:
''c9ehste wegl' C'Get awayi'D
And the admiral finished his favorite dish amid
a burst of general laughter.
