the members Of the congress with the ego
tistic attitude of American trusts. He said
the motto OF one was PRO Bona Publico,' -
while the other adopted the motto. Damn

QUESTION OF PRECEDENCE.

hear that rather curious question of
precedence arose over Mrs. Martins dinner.
She, like many English woman went to
the Lord Chamberlains office for advice.
The question was whether Prince Francis
of Teck should take precedence of an Am
tassador. 1t was ruled that on this occa-
sion an Ambassador would come first,
though, had it been a court entertainment,
such as a ball at Buckingham Palace.
Prince Francis would have taken precedence
If an Ambassador.
Another doubtful point was whether Lady
Halsbury. as the wife of the Lord Chan
cellor of England, should precede the
Duchess of Somerset and the Duchess of
Wellington. who were both present. In this
case the Lord Chamberlain settled 1t UNI
questionably that Lady Halsbury was the
great lady of the evening.
Questions of precedence often occur in
this way. and il is always better to go
straight TO the Lord Chamberlain's office to
be put right. i believe it is now always
arranged that foreigners shall take prece-
dence by courtesy in this country. For in
stance. should a Spanish Duchess be pres
ent at a party where there are English
Duchesses. she would take precedence. al
though the English titles might be older.
