MEANING OF cocKADEs.
No American Citizen is Entitled tc Have His Servants Wear Them.

 London Correspondence New York Town
 and Country.
 I have had rather a remarkable letter from a New York woman, who asks me to ascertain for her, if possible, the sig nifcance of the black cockade which Is worn by her coachman and footman She states that friend of hers has inform ed her that she has no right to place the black cockade, or any other for that matter, in the headgear of her servants, and she desires me to inform her as to the correctness of this point. In this in- stance I have to rely on the information derived from a great authority on these matters, namely MT. F. Lee Carter.
 The oockade in present use, not only in England but abr broad-excepting the Uni ted States-is a distinction of office rath- CT than of title inasmuch as it Is a head dress which can legally be worn only by servants of royalty, including naval and military officers. diplomatists and the lieutenants, deputy lieutenants, and high sheriffs of counties. As worn by these its color Is black ar3 its introduction to England in this form is due to the house of Hanover, but cokades or various colors had been known in England long before that time. Under Charles I. there was scarlet cockade, but under his sor the color was changed to white. and thi became the badge of the Jacobites or ad herents of the pretender, while tn orange was tteI of William of Orange At this time the cockade white or blacl was merely used by soldiers to denot
 their specific allegiance. Orange is stil the color in Holland, while other Flu ropean nations adopt a large variety oi hues as is shown especially in tht streets of London in the foreign liveries of carriage attendants; namely, black and white for Germany, black and yellow for Austria, the tri-color for France, scarlet for Spain, blue and white for Portugal and black, red and yellow for Belgium. The word cockade was borrowed from the French cocarde. having originally been applied to the plumes of cock S feathers worn by Croatian soldiers serv- ing in the French army. Such a plume. or in its place a bunch of ribbons, cam e to be used in pinning up the flags of a mat into cooked position, and thus gradually the word passed for the desig- nation. the cocket hat itself.
 l hope this information will satisfy my fair inquirer that she Is really not en- titled to use a cockade in the head dress of her liveried servants, but she may be consoled by the news that she is only one of many hundreds of thousands who do likewise, without knowing caring that they are transgressing an old rule
