One of the peculiarities pec-uliarities of royally Is the entire lack of reervo and modesty that private persons are glad to wrap about them In tboe matters that seem to demand delicacy In remark and treatment. It Is hardly to be supposed that a refined Amerlcaii. maiden, even granting tec-'tne licence that Ku ropes ua believes she enjoys, would care to divide her garters Into Inch pieces for distrlbu-tien distrlbu-tien among tho male guiats at her marriage, and yet that Is an established estab-lished custom in Germany, neither would she care to make a public display dis-play of her underwear, as did Princess Victoria within tho last month for a few days preceeding her nupitals. But after ail this lias wen done It is not in the slightest degree astonishing that Emperor William should orjer praitrs to be read In all the churches of the country for the safe and happy accouchement of Empress Augusta, which, in view of that InevlUblelncldent, his Majesty Maj-esty has directed shall be done. |
