place at big price to John Hay when
he represented the American govern
ment here, and Mr.. Choate, after three
or four weeks of house hunting, con-
cluded that he couldn't do better than
step into his chiefs shoes, so to speak.
The old yellow Georgian houses of
which No. l stands at the upper end
are not gorgeous as seen from the out
side, but have stateliness and dignity
within that makes them seem exactly
suited for ambassadorial residences.
The German embassy does occupy one
of them, but the differences is that
Germany pays the rent, and the am
bassador's home and his offices are in
the same building, whereas the Ameri-
can ambassador pays the house rent
out of his own pocket, devoting the
larger part of his salary to the pur-
pose.
The curve of the terrace makes it
impossible to get a good photograph
of the front of the house, but from
st. James Park in the rear you get an
impressive view of this famous row of
residences, where Mr.. Gladstone once
lived, and where Mrs. John w. Mac
kay and William Waldorf Astor have
their town houses now. Gilbert Par
ker, who married money" as they
say, and has made a lot more out of
his novels. also lives in this select ter
ritory. All good Americans in Lon
don swarm from adjacent Pail Mall
into Carlton House Terrace on each

stairway at No. 1, hear their names
called out by the liveried footmen.

the head of the stairs, bow low to Mrs.
Choate and then squeeze on through
the crowd that fills the long succession
of lofty rooms, back to the temporary
buffet, where portly walters deal out
good things to eat and drink.
MIR. ChOnte's Dingy Office.
1t is only short walk around by
Westminster Abbey to No. 121 Victoria
street where the United States gov
eminent has its little pied-a-terre, and
a dingy. grimy. stuffy. dark, depress-
ing place it is, too. 1t is wonder that
the ambassador and the half dozen
members of his staff do not suffer per-
petually from the blues. No other
diplomat of ambassadorial rank in
London has such mean quarters, and
some of the ministers from little South
American republics are far better pro-
Vided for. The only comforting refiec-
ton to Americans who visit the place
is that it gives the lie to the British
notion that Americans have taste for
garish display.
Although the ambassador represents
in person the President and the whole
10,0OOOOO people of the United States,
there are no fuss and feathers at the
embassy. II you have any good ex-
cuse for II. or II you are merely a dis

one night, when they had reached lit

greatly pleased when the New York
publisher announced that here they
would rest for two weeks. They would
nave the rest which they had been
seeking. Along about o'clock the
next morning, Mr.. Barr was awakened

then he heard the New York publisher

is lucky they don't wear boots. At
very grand hotels they wear blue
serge suits like ships stewards, and
bad limitations of foreign shoes, and
they don't run, and then they don't
wait so well, because it is not natural
for a Japanese hoy" not to run.
1t is not safe for a lady to go back
into the dining room after a meal for
anything she has left, for she will
probably find the boys shedding their
uncomfortable European clothes, and
they may not have their own dress I'M
derneath. A Japanese boy has one
good quality. Though he cannot I'M
derstand English, before you have
been in the house three days he will
know your tastes, and if you like the
breast of a chicken better than the leg
you will get it, and you will have your
steak to look purple or burnt under
when it is cut, as you prefer. If he
saw you use teaspoon after your wife
he would very likely bring you used

one of them even said that he could

so large for him that his ears did not

The Japanese like their hats to rest
upon their ears. They can mend your
clothes or put a button on, and are
handler than sailors. They expect YOU
to show them all your purchases. and
always tell you how much more or how a
much less you ought to have paid In
the transient life of an hotel, you see
the tarcical side of Japanese servants
Inc pristine and sentimental side you
only get in private family, where the
servants, like the pages of the Middle
Ages, may be equal in birth to their
masters, but willing to do service in his
household, because he is a famous poet
or noble or man of science, so as to
gather the crumbs of education which
fall from his table. The great Japa-
nese who visited England to conclude
the Anglo-Japanese treaty, the Mar
qu1s Ito, set a notable example in this
way by hiring himself out as waiter
IN western land to learn the Ian
guage and observe the habits of West
ern nations, with view to helping
Japan to take her place among the
great civilized nations of the world.

the continent on purpose to be present
arriving only few hours before the
time. He had been so busy buying up
odds and ends of steamship lines, rail-
roads and Old Masters that he had
forgotten all about knee brooches. He
was badly ratified when he was re-
minded of them and the last moment
one of his friends had anything of the
sort that would fit him; and all the
Morgan millions couldn't move a Lon
don tailor to turn out a pair of court
knee-breeches in three hours. It began
to look to Mr.. Morgan as if he would
nave to be taken suddenly i'll for the
sake of a good excuse for absenting
himself from the dinner, when some
body suggested that a theatrical cos
tune might help him out Hurried

that case Mr.. Choate will have to
move out, and as it lis such a difficult
matter to get suitable house, and as
he has had about all there is to get
in the way of ambassadorial fun ard

that he will retire from office. AL

personal impression counts for so
much that it sometimes overweigns
everything else. That is where Jo-
seph Hodges Choate comes out strong
You can't lose him, either in a crowd
or in group of statesmen. He
may be inwardly nervous-in fact,
l SUSPECT he was pretty
uncomfortable when he first came over
here-but he wears all the outward and
visible signs of easy satisfaction.
When he rises, with a benign smile, to
respond to the toast the chairman has
given, everybody settles back COM
fortably, eharing the ambassador S
confidence that his forthcoming speech
is going to be rafting good one.
The only other man in England who
creates quite the same impression is
Lord Rosebery.
ChOnte's Delicate Insinuations
Opinions differ of course. about Mr..
Choate's success in the formal side. of
diplomacy, but he has done something
more than make personal hit with
his after-dinner addresses. l have
heard a dozen or so of them in Lon
don, and have never missed from one
of them a note that at first rather
startled placid John Bull; in one form
or another his excellency always con-
trives to say deftly and insinua tingly
what, if put btuntly, would be some
thing like this:
Brother Bull, you are in most re-
spects good fellow. but you have
shown little tendency to be superior
In times past. The occasion for it has
gone by, If it ever existed, and you
will kindly take notice that Brother
Jonathan isn't playig the role Of
younger brother"
The ambassador has kept up such
steady pounding on that note, and
commercial events have given him
such strong backing that the effect has
become noticeable. Brother Bull has
been getting the idea firmly fixed in
his head.
