doris are necessarily excluded from the
invitation list of any entertainment to
which the British, French, Russian or
Japanese ambassador or the Belgian
minister has been invited.
1t may be doubted, too, if the Italian
ambassador or even perhaps the repre-
sentatives of such neutral countries as
Holland, Denmark or the Scandina-
Wan countries, which have expressed
fear of one or the other of the great
powers violating their neutrality, would
feel exactly comfortable in finding
himself seated opposite the diplomatic
representatives of those powers.
The only safe course for the hostess,
then, if she wishes to have diplomats
at her table. is to limit the invitations
to the Latin Americans, who are more
prominent by their numbers than by
their appearance in official society.

Outburst-a tornado of questions which
would sweep the witness from the

of Russia, the king OF Prussia and
other sovereigns. accompanied by a
large retinue OF diplomatists and SOL
diers, made their solemn entry into
Vienna to take part in the congress
which was to read1ust the map of
Europe. The thrones which Napoleon
had overturned were to be righted and
the old despots whom he had dis
missed were to be given back their
scepters. The first weeks of the con-
gress, however. were not devoted to
the serious business at hand. but were
spent in a succession of magnificent
festivities. Notwithstanding the finan.
cial ruin OF the country, Austria ap-
propriated sums amounting to thou
sands of dollars daily to provide balls,
banquets, concerts and other enter
