Society Notes,

The President of the French republic has
quite unconsciously become the arbiter in a diff
ference between our President and Secretary of
State which might have seriously effected our
foreign relations. The reception of the Cabinet
and diplomatic corps at the White House on New
Years day taking place In the forenoon, the
question has arisen, and caused much discussion
authorize uniform on such occasions, as to
whether dress or frock coat should be worn.
dress coat seemed to many out of keeping
with the early hour, and Secretary Evarts is re-
ported to have said frOck coat was good enough
for him until dinner time, and he wore one at
the last New Years reception, when it appeared
that on at least one question there was marked
difference Of opinion between him and the Pres
1dent, for the latter wore dress coat. This COM
plCated matters in the diplomatic mind, but re-
Gently 1t has been announced that President
which settles the vexed question In favor Of
President Hayes view on matters of dress.
