Era of Braid and Buttons at Capital

From the Chicago Dairy News.
 Washington. D. C.-When calling at the White House on official or social business army and navy officers now wear their uniforms. When the business is official they appear in fatigue uniforms and when they present themselves In a social ca pacity they wear full dress. The new regulations for uniforms are the most elaborate ever promulgated in the history of this government. They provide for garments for all imaginable occasions and prescribe just when they shall be worn The inclusion of the White House visits as times when uniforms shall be worn is made by suggestion of the secretaries of war and navy and has no further for mai force, but it is obeyed just as care fully as If 1t were set forth In the printed regulations published by the two depart ments. There is every indication that the time is near at hand when army and navy officers will be compelled to wear their uniforms at all times when they are attending to official business
 Army and navy uniforms are now seen frequently at the theaters and at private entertainments. A few years ago they were never worn on such occasions American officers heretofore have had decided objections to wearing their uni- forms except when on duty, but this pre- Judice seems to be wearing away
