There is a story of exemplary Ameri-
can Kindness Of heart and absolute lack
Of all the fine nothings of etiquette
which are the very breath of courtGand
diplomatic life. The story concerns a
former American minister to St. Pc
tersburg a one of the elaborate and
very formal receptions or lcvees which
the emperor and empress give on New
Years day. All the diplomats stand in
line in their order of precedence,
and their majestics walk down the
line 10 exchange greetings with each
in turn. On this occasion the empress,
now the dowager. was not present, hRv.
ing just given birth to one of the
younger princesses. 1t seems lso hat
the good wife Of the American was at
home occupied with a similar domestie
duty. The emperor came down tie
line and asked after the health OF eath
of the gentlemen present, at the san1o
time exchanging the usual scasonable
greetings. SO when he came to the
American he did not ask the usual
question: II hope you have good news
from home?" OF course he had and
our full-hearted representative could
not keep it a secret. Yes. thank your
majesty, excellent news 1t is a boy
