/ President and 1 guess he won't know
the difference"
4 This conversation overheard at one OF
the White House receptions. is indicative
OF the difficulty with titles encountered by
visitors to the National Capital Nor is
there any printed guide to follow These
/ things must be learned from well-posted
! friends, or mistakes will be made.
In We olden times, no one ever thought
of addressing the Chief Executive Of the
United States less formally than as Your
ExceIlency.'' but that expression is now
relegated to the list of things that were.
Mr.. President" is the correct form, both
in speaking and writing. Mr.. Roosevelt
has even eliminated THE Executive Man
SION as the name of the Presidents Off
cial residence. and his stationery bears
the simple inscription, The White
House"
1t is not only with the title Of the Chief
Executive that the uninitiated find diff
Guilty, for there are many forms to be
learned. For instance, Cabinet officers are
not addressed as Secretary Root" or
Secretary Garfield" but as Mr. Sec
Tetary." On the other hand, Senators
are addressed by their titles. as Senator
Lodge" Senator Hale" A few people
prefix the Mr." saying Mr.. Senator, f"
but it is not considered as necessary. and
by some is pronounced an affectation.
Polite usage requires, invariably, the
prefix to the titles of members of the Su-
preme Court For instance, one addresses
the Chief Justice as Mr.. Chief Justice"
and the associate justices as Mr. Jus
tice." although in making an introduc-
ton. one would add the name, as, Mr..
Justice White"
The rule which applies to the President
applies also to the Vice President and to
foreign Ministers, who are addressed as
MIR. Minister" but in the case Of Am
bassadors the form, Your Excellency. .
is used except where one is reasonably
well acquainted. when the simpler Mr..
Ambassador is adopted, and in every
instance one or other Of these terms is
used instead Of the diplomats personal
title Of Baron. Count, or whatever it
may be.
Throughout the government service
there are officials who are addressed by
their titles with the prefix Mr." such
as the Civil Service Commissioners. the
Interstate Commerce Commissioners. the
Comptroller Of the Treasury, and it is
always safe when in doubt TO so address
man who holds public Office.
With members of the House the simple
Mr." should be used. and not Con

Roosevelt is apt TO use that form. There
are some members Of the lower House of
Congress who Ike 20 be addressed as

Difference to such preference that the
President has adopted the expression.
The Speaker Of the House is always ad-
dressed as Mr.. Speaker"
Army and navy circles also present no
little confusion because Of the conflict
between official titles and social usage.
For instance, those who know never ad-
dress, socially. lieutenant by his title.
despite the fact that ne IS so designated
In the Army Register. and is so address
ed by his brother officers when on Off
cial business. He is simply mr.. Smith. !"
or whatever his name may be. and re-
ceives his title, in the social world, only
when he reaches the grade OF captain.
But, you may object, every one refers to
and addresses the leader OF the Marine
Band as Lieut. Santelmann." Very true
and that 5 because Lieut. Santelmann IS
not commissioned officer. He receives
the title by virtue Of his position as Lead
er of the Marine Band, which carries
with it the rank Of lieutenant, and. there
fore, every officer, whether speaking soci-
ally or officially, is punctillous to use the
title. And so, too, is the same care exer-
cised by every officer. should he have
occasion. socially, 10 speak to or COM
municate with an enlisted man of any
arm OF the military service, to address
him by his rank alone. as Sergeant 3"
Corporal" Private"
In the Navy the discrepancy between
the official designations and social us

socially, any title other than Mr. {"
while a commander is always addressed

signs, lieutenants. and lieutenant COM

Generally speaking. however. the diff
heulties here enumerated cover, prac-
tically, all the problems in titles. which
