Then there was his cousin. Prince
Henry XIV of Reuss, who, after,
contracting a second marriage with e
an actress, whom he created Baroness
of Saalburg, was stricken by some +.
brain trouble, which developed into
complete imbecility, in which con-
dition he fingered for number of
years. =
Etiquette and ceremony reached ,
fantastic proportions at the courts
of Reuss, and I have before me an :
old copy OF the Official Gazette Of
Reuss, in which it is stated that the

reward ahiEh { bS'g deigning to extend
his, own an highest hand to be
Kissed. OF scourse the comic papers
in the other German states, especially :
in Munich and Berlin, were quick to
ask why the Prince of Reuss should 2
have extended his own hand instead
OF giving some one elses hand tp
be kissed by the old fireman, and
printed widely verses TO the effect
that it was only in Reuss that the
sovereigns still knew how to reward
in a fitting manner real services to
the nation and to the state. =
Moreover. until the overthrow OF
the monarchy in Germany. in Novem-s

that when court mourning was orr
ueTed+it should extend to the under>+
clothes; that is to-, say, the various
dignitaries and officials were eX- ;
pected to wear not~only black cutters
garments, but even black-bordered
shirts and handkerchiefs and under
garments, in the case of the men,
and equally somber "dessouse'' for
the women. This was strictly en-
forced and any non observance OF .
the regulation was resented and :
