WAShBURNE's PREDIcAMENT.
Had to Stand In His Stocking Feet 1t &
French Court Dinner.

Had to Stand In His Stocking Feet at .
French Court Dinner.
, When Elihu Washburne was United
States minister to France there was
court dinner given at the palace of the
Tuilleries one night by the emperor.
Napoleon Ill, says the Cincinnati
Times-Star. 1t was the custom at these
dinners when the empress arose to re-
tire with the ladies for the gentlemen
to rise from their seats and step back,
so that the ladies should pass down the
line between them and the table. By
this all could avoid turning their backs
on the empress Mr.. Washburne had
very tender feet. During the dinner
they had given him great deal of an
noyance, and to ease himself he had
slipped of his patent leather pumps.
He was absorbed in conversation at the
close of the dinner and was caught I'M
awares when the empress made the sig
nal for departure. Mr.. Washburne was
obliged to step back without his pumps.
There he stood in his stocking feet,
grave, dignifed and self-possessed in
the row of grinning diplomats to his
right and left He betrayed none Of
the embarrassment he must have felt,
and was never heard to allude to the
incident
