A Place Of Torment.
the A popular restaurant height of the evening is, to the Englishman, a place of torment. But the Germans, love to sit crowd- ed together in a reek of heat and food and cigar amoke and an in- ferno of gabble and chatter; and no feminine delicacy suggests to the women that there is anything unseemly in their participation in these orgies. They make no secret of a hearty appetite, and the thick glass mug of beer stands beside the young German mies as naturally as
a cup of tea beside an English girl of the corresponding 'class."
A few days of it and the London man wearics with an unspeakable dislike of what seems to him a reduction to squalor of the noble art of public eating. He will not again for a long time revile the decent, plain restaurants of Lon- don, where the reasonable appetite is catered for, where woman is the dainty guest, and not a rival knife and fork, and where the windows are made to open.
The Germans have got the whole businees of eating wrong. Could anything be more boring than the public ceremonial banquet in, Ger many I have attended two in Leipzig. Between the soup and the fah there were three speeches, between the fish, and the entree twe more, between the entree and the next course another two, and co right to the end of the menu The speeches were long and dull, and rarely touched with any of those graces of humour and charm which make the English after dinner speech a natural part of the con- viviality of the occasion. Their function appeared to be only the degraded one of epreading the cat ing over the whole evening; to tantalise the appetite by delay.
In the confidences she gave to M. Maurico Paléologue, the French diplomatist, who is publishing her memoirs in the Revue des "Dour" Mondes, the Empress Eugénio tells bow Empress Elizabeth, the widow of the Emperor Francis Joseph, revealed to her the full story, The Empress Eugénio said:

On leaving the Hofburg (the Imperial Palace in Vienna) Arch Juke Rudolf hailed a cab. and- drove to Mayerling. Vetsora was awaiting him there for dinner with Prince Philip of Coburg and Count Hoyof, brother of the former Austro- Hungarian Ambassador in Paris. As soon as Archduke Rudolf was alone with his mistress he told her of the ricient quarrel he had had with his father and the word of honour he had given under the threat of rencacing his rights to the throne. She re plied coolly: "I have something to tell you, too. I am expecting V. 1910.
