Nabuco paid graceful compliment last
night to the Supreme Court of the United
States by an elegant dinner at which
eighty guests were entertained at their
embassy home. Following the elaborate
standard set by the ambassador last year at
his Pan-American banquet much thought
was given to the details of last nights
party. when eight tables were laid in a
tropical garden into which the large ball
room was transformed. The approaches
to the room had lattice decoration of
green vines and numbers of electric
lights cleaned like firefiies in the green
cry which lined the walls and canopied
the ceiling. Each table had rich mass
ing of flowers in single color and the
appointments of each were in harmony.
Besides each table was marked by the
name of a former chief justice. the whole
galaxy of legal luminaries who preceded
the present highly regarded incumbent
being thus honored. Making the occasion
an historic one. with the Brazilian colors,
green and gold. adjoining the menu and
name cards. there was at each place a
card bearing the following words in let
tiers of gold:
The guardianship of the constitution
atty of laws by the national judiciary
was the greatest contribution of America
to the science of politics. The mainte-
nance of the prestige of the Supreme
Court shows the growth in the nation of
the judicial spirit over that of arbitrary
force. ELIHU ROOT
