HARD TO PURCHASE.
The Peculiar RED Ribbea ef tAs

The Peculiar Re6 Ribbon OF tAo
French Legion Of Honer.
The peculiar red ribbon which mem
bers Of the Legion Of Honor Of France
are entitled to wear is 10 be had in
New York at one stablishment, which
is naturally sought out by Americans
honored with this decoration. But
they never have the satisfaction Of get
ting the ribbon until the firm that has
the exclusive sale Of it has received
official notice that the persons applying
have the right to display it
Il know it," said one OF the clerks
the other day 20 a would be purchaser
of the ribbon. 81 know that you are q
member Of the legion and have right
to buy the ribbon, because read your
name In the paper and know vhe you
are. But we have not received oMcial
notification Of your appointment and
you have not your diplema. So could
net sell you any Of it.
I'VE had to make this rule first be-
cause the French government required
it of US when we received the agency,
but we also realize the necessity Of it.
All kinds OF persons who have no right
to this ribbon try to get hold Of it. All
Of them pretend when they fnd that
we sell it only to persons entitled to
wear it either thst they are members
Of the legion or that they are buying il
on behalf Of persons who do belong TO
the order. The ribbon is not Ike any
other and We know that II any Of this
ribbon is bought IN New York that il
comes from US. For that reason we are
particular to the extent Of requiring
documentary proof from every aDpli-
cant unless we have received o6lciai
notification Of his right to wear IT.
