Queen Drama’s Revenge.
The Voaaisehe Zeitung states that a Servian lady, who is a strong adherent of the anti-Draga party in Servia, was compelled to appear at Court to pay her respects to the Queen on behalf of a charitable institution of which she was president. At Court she pretended to be unacquainted with the rules of etiquette, and neglected to kiss Queen Braga’s hand. Next day, at a big dinner party at Belgrade, she boasted of this, saying that she would never dream 'of kissing “ that woman’s ” hand. One of the guests reported the remark made by the lady, who early next morning was summoned to Court. A royal carriage was sent to fetch her, and, as it was impossible to back out, she went. Queen Braga was waiting for her at the door of the palace, and at once extended her hand to be kissed The kissing was duly performed, whereupon Braga shrieked, “ Now get out of my house ! ” The revenge was complete, for a dozen members of the palace staft witnessed the humiliating scene, and circulated exaggerated descriptions of it through Belgrade that day.
