A RIOT IN TITLES.
Elaborate < luN«lflea«loa of Haak
Tbsl Rule« In Denmark.
The Danish classification of rank Is
a very elaborate one, built up of of
fices, orders, birth and titles, writes J.
Brochner In “Danish Life In Town and
Country."
There are ulue classes,
which are divided Into as many as a
dozen subsections, each of which may
again comprise a score or two of dlf-
ferent titles and offices, yet there was a
tomplaint In one of the Danish papers
tin* other day tliat It was anything but
complete.
Holders of titles have to pay an an
nual tax ranging from $44.50 in the
first class to a miserly $8.38 in the
ninth. There are about a score of dif
ferent titles, several of which are again
divided Into ‘Teal" and “others,” the
"real" being several shades better than
the "others.”
These titles are always used in con
versation, as, for example, “Will not
the chamberlain have a cigar?” or
"Mr. Chamberlain, will you not have
a cigar?” And it requires a fairly
clear head and a gixxl memory to give
everybody Ills due in n large party,
especially as some of them are deco
rously long, as, for instance, gehelme-
conferentsraad.
Then there are ladies, who generally
have “inde” (the English "ess”) added
to their husbands’ title or office. A
colonel’s wife, for Instance, is calk'd
oberstinde, and the wife of the cham
berlain to the king kammerherrelnde,
and so forth.
But the subtleties of the additional
titular address in writing even excel
the verbal form. That persons of the
first rank are “excellencies” is only
natural, but gentlemen of the second
class have on documents address«xl to
them a ‘‘high well born” prefixed to
their title and name, and those of the
third class a “high and well born.” I
much regret that I cannot explain why
the addition of this “and” should
somewhat detract from the value of
the same words.
Gentlemen of the ninth class are ad
dressed as “well honorable and well
bred,” which is, I think, almost more
than they could expect for their $3.33.
