Greet D'Annunzio.

FIUME. April 27.-"This is the
most interesting court in Europe,
said one of d'Annunzio's secretaries,
at the luncheon rendered the poet
on st. Gabriers day, when the lib
orator Of F'iume acted his part with
courtiers, soldiers and king s
guards" and the populace acted
theirs.
Fanfares Of trumpets, the rush to
arms Of the kings guard an
nounced his every entrance ana
exit. He is always accompanied by
a long line OF aides and function
aries and wears a happy counter
ance himself At meals all the
cOurtiers center their attention upon
him and listen TO the stories he tells
laughing sometimes and crying at
others.
Comply With Wishes.
D'Annunzio' wishes in food are
always complied with and religious
zeal marks the efforts OF the en-
tourage to please him. His uniform
is always spic-and-span. There is
not a blemish on his clothing from
heel TO crown. His long Italian
cape sometimes calls TO mind the
familiar garb Of the fallen William
II. in his German military cape.
On public occasions in theaters,
his place is reserved with much at
tention and when he enters cheers
are. given by the men and women
who follow him. When he gives a
concert in the palace, his place in
the front row is respected with the
reverence due TO a religious chief.
His apartments are bedecked with
all sorts of presents from the towns
people. Italian and Dalmatian flags
make up the color scheme. On his
name day. he was the recipient of
bowers of flowers from admirers in
the city. The royal march greets
him when he makes his appearance
on the balcony of the palace.
