about him his official family the doors
Of the red room were again swung open
and in a clear voice Colonel Bromweu
announced the acting dean Of the dip
lomatic corps, the ambassador from Aus
tria- Hungary and Madame Hengel-
muller. The ambassador was in full uni
form and wore the many decorations
conferred upon him during his diplo,,
matte career. After they had bowed
before the president and Mrs. Roosevelt
and shook their hands, MI. Hengelmull-
er stepped back pace. He then pre-
sented the members of his staff person
ally to the president, as they did the
other ambassadors.

House suggested by Colonel Bromweu,
and which has been approved by Secre-
tary Root. It has always been the Gus
tom at other capitals for the head OF the
n.bassy or legation to present person
ally the members Of his staff.
