COURT DRESS ABROAD.
Americans Of Former Tim es Were Not
Too Democratic to Conform
to Customs.

| 1t is interesting to note that tn.
American ENJOYS to the coronation
wore court dress to the few formal
functions given in honor OF the spe.
cial embassies in London before the
king was stricken down. And that
! this fact created very little com.
ment ON this side OF the water,
where the subject of court dress has
often been the subject of violent
storms. 1t was the general custom
with the early American diplomats
TO wear court dress, and John
Quincy Adams, when secretary of
state, wrote to the ministers abroad
commenting the use of the uniform
worn by the mission of Client, which
consisted of a blue coat embroidered
in gold, white breeches, white silk
stockings, gold knee and shoe buck
les. small cooked hat with black
cockade, and sword, says the Wash
ington Post.
In Jackson's administration this
garb was changed for a simpler and
cheaper suit; black coat with a gold
star on each side of the collar, black
or white breeches, three-cornered
chapeaubras with black cockade, and
gold eagle and steel-mounted
sword with white scabbard. This
costume, however, was not insisted
upon and not generally adopted, for
even in that day sentiment against
court dress had appeared and dur
ing Pierce's administration the Sec
retary of state, Mr.. Marcy, issued
circular recommending the appear
ance of the United States ministers
at court in the simple dress of an
American citizen. To this innova-
tion serious objections were raised
at the various capitals. The Swed-
>ish king refused to receive the
American minister, Mr.. Schroeder, at
court except in court dress conform
able to established custom, although
he consented to receive him privately
or in audience for business in what
ever dress his government might
prescribe.
The American minister at Berlin
was Informed that his majesty would
not receive him save in proper cos
tune, and Mr.. Buchanan, when min
lister to England, was not allowed to
enter the diplomatic gallery of par
lament because he refused to adopt
court dress. II. S. Sanford, charge
d'affaires at Paris, resigned his post
because his chief would not uphold
him in having presented himself at
court without court dress, and every
where in Europe dissension followed
the receipt of the famous Marcy cir
cular, which was oftener disregarded
than obeyed.
This inspired congress to pass a
resolution in 1867 forbidding "any
uniform or official dress not previ-
ously authorized by congress- Since
court dress is neither a uniform or
official costume, this act should not
nave prevented the diplomats from
ldopting court dress if they listed,
'ut until lately they remained faith
ul to the simple dress suit and ac-
epted with as much grace as pos
ible the amusement the garb in
pired and the irony it provoked

ANDY "CALLED" THE BANKERS
"kowt0w" to Bank OMcial and
Gives His Reasons.

1t was a blistering hot afternoon.
and Lieut., Andy Rohan, of the Gem
tral police, was in his most indiffer-
ent mood. His feet were cooked up
on his desk, his hat rested on the back
of his head, and between his lips was
a half-smoked, unlighted cigar. al
sleepy silence hung over police head
| quarters, broken only by the buzzine
of flies, relates the Chicago Inter
| Ocean. n
"Where can I find the officer in
charge" asked voice from the door
leading into Andy's room. The guess
tioner was distinguished looking
middle-aged man, whose clothes were
of the latest cut and whose highly poll
ished patent-leather shoes looked
strange against the dusty floor of thu
hallway.
81 am Lieut. Rohan," answered
Andy, grufiy. What do you want?"
II am Mr.. Hathaway, of the Corn
Exchange national bank. came over
here to identify those forgers," said
the visitor, advancing into the room. 4
His tone was dignifed, impressive; his
looks indicated that he expected Lieut..
Rohan to get up and get him chair. Il
But Andy did not move. 4
SIS there anyone around here who
knows you?" he asked. e,
The visitor shook his head.
"Did you bring anyone along to
identify you?"
The visitor began to look indignant.
"Certainly not" he said. II am i
Charles A. Hathaway, of the Corn Ex-
change national bank. Why should i
bring anyone with me?"
Here Andy sat up straight in his
chair The look of wearinsSs and ex.
haustion was gone from his rugged e
face.
"And why shouldn't you?" he
roared. "How do l know you ara
Charles Hathaway of the tum-te-tum 4.
bank. You fellows make me tired.
You come over here and expect us to
kowtow to you the minute you show
your face. What happens when 90

me chair? No, sir! ! am at once
told that the president does not know
me and that l must trot out and find y
some responsible person to identify
me. The same rule is to hold good

Mr.. Hathaway bowed with great
'ignity and slowly left the room,
Silence again reigned in police head
