When a ball was given to the Emperor and Empress, at a distinguished embassy, the list of invitations was carefully revised by the prefect or his sub, who, not satisfied with having some of his people stationed in the ante chamber, insisted on cards of invitation to enable others (dressed and decorated for the purpose) to mingle with the company. When the Emperor honored the Baron de Rothschild by joining a shooting party at his chateau, the entire establishment was placed under strict surveillance during the preceding fortnight, and when his Imperial Majesty took the field, the neighboring country was cleared like a besieged town.
