LOYALTY OF THE FRENCH.
ACCORDING TO ETIQUETTE. A story illustrating the almost fanatical loyalty of the French royalists was told recently in London by a man who had just returned from Paris. Princesss Isabello d'Orleans-Bragance, who is engaged to the Comte de Paris, son of the Due do Guise, Pretender to the French throne, recently asked one of her ladies-in-waiting to reserve seats for her in the fifth row of a certain theatre. According to the etiquette of tho French Court, however, no one should sit in front of a " future Queen," and it would thus have been necessary for the Princess to reserve the whole of the first four rows. She eventually contented herself with seats in the front row, where, during the interval, many of the audience went to do her homage with all the ceremonious bows associated with the Court of Louis XIV.
