Sir Julian's experience in the foreign office
fits him for any position in the diplomatic
service He has not had the experience of
those belonging to the diplomatic corps in
dealing directly with foreign governments,
but is especially well grounded in interna-
tional law and has had long experience in an
office from which the instructions to diplo-
mats emanate.
The home of the newly appointed minister
at Cromwell place has long been open to the
members of the diplomatic corps, and Lady
Pauncefote and her daughter, young lady
of about 25, are said to be very popular
They visit at nearly all the houses of the
American colony at South kensington, and
will doubtless he appreciated at Washington.
Sir Julian is a real Englishman in build
standing six feet in his stockings. Like most
of his countrymen he is a lover Of manly ex-
ercise, and is said to have been very expert
with the foil

The church which President Harrison will
attend for the next four years includes some
of the wealthiest and many of the most prom
inent people in Washington among its MEM
bers This is the Church of the Covenant,
situated at the southeast corner of Con-
necticut avenue and n street, and in the very
heart of the fashionable and splendidly i'm
proved northwestern portion of the city.
The church is the most elegant in point of
finish and the most picturesque in point of
design in Washington. 1t is built in the
Romanesque style, though relieved by light
and graceful touches here and there. 1t is
built of stone quarried near by at the great
falls of the Potomac The most striking
feature of the exterior is the tower, 20 feet
square and rising to height of las feet. The
corners are turreted, and the walls are
pierced by small windows, which at once
give light to the interior and relieve what
would otherwise be a heavy and too solid
effect. At the top is a belfry. The body of
the church forms a parallelogram. The en-
frances are from Connecticut avenue, one
being under the huge tower and the other
under an elevation at the opposite side. Be-
tween the two, and forming a rich feature
of the front of the church, is an immense
window, with an arch exquisitely carved.
There are gables on each side of the building,
and rising from the center is the square
lantern.

to him and accepted. He was afterward Of

post of legal assistant under secretary at the
foreign office was created and he was APP
pointed to fill the position. During Lord
Beaconsfed's administration Sir Julian was
made Commander of the Bath and Knight

FADS IN COLLARS.
Neckwear That VIII he Affected by the
Dudes This Spring.

The search for something new in collars
goes on unrelentingly. 1t used to be slight
matter to select a collar suitable for any oc-
casion but then there were fewer styles to
pick from. The everlasting American cry
for something new and original grows louder
every day, and the poor collar makers are
driven to their wits end to present some new
fad that will prove acceptable to their Gus
toners. At present there are no less than
thirty new collars on the market, each one
more startling and more nearly unique than
its predacaseor

HARRISON VISITS ON SUNDAY.

How the Ruler of the Nation Is Stared at
When He Attends Divine service-De-
scription of One of the Finest Churches
in Washington.
1t is a trying ordeal for the president of
the United States to attend church. He needs
the imperturbability Of a stole to endure,
without noticeable embarrassment, the I'M
ceasing stare of the congregation. There is
no exaggeration in saying that he is looked
upon as something of freak; as, for in
stance, the ingenious natives of Central
Africa would gaze upon an India rubber man
wrapping his face around his arms From
the time the president enters the church and
walks up the middle aisle between the lines
of people, until he walks out to the curb and
steps into his carriage, he is regarded as a
man whose chief function in life is the de-
liriousy joyous occupation of making an ex-
hibition of himself 1t is much the same
with the presidents family.
