HINTS BY THE SOCIAL ARBITER

NOTE-The Arbits- viii be glad TO
answer any question Of a social ma
ture that may be submitted. Such
question should be addressed 20 The
Arbiter, care The Washington Herald.
An ambitious social leader writes TO ask
how she shall obtain a coat Of arms
she is convinced that she is clearly en-
titled to one, her family having played
prominent roles in England before some
Of the younger members emigrated to
American the Mayfower, OF course-but
she does not know what arms they bore
or just how TO get hold OF the same. The
simplest and easiest way for this person
10 satisfy her ambition would be 10 60
TO some stationer and ask them TO make
her coat Of arms, or II she prefers she
might look over a book Of heraldry and
pick out one that appeals to her and
adopt il, for there is nothing very sacred
about coats Of arms. They were adopted
IN the first place for one reason or an
other, bestowed upon The bearers for
some service performed, or stolen out
right.
Apropos Of the latter statement the
story Of the experience Of former Brit
ish minister TO this country viii not come
amiss. This man rejoiced in the name Of
John Finnes TwisoltOn CHAMPION, and he
represented his government in America
for four years in the early SOS. Shortly
after his arrival he sent his carriage 10
be repaired at one Of the local shops.
Going there a few DAYS after he had re-
ceived notice that the repairs were fin
ished he saw in the storeroom a number
Of other carriages bearing his coat of
arms
WHAT does this mean?" he asked,
are all OF these carriages meant for me,
else why do you use my bearings?' The
proprietor assured him that the several
carriages IN evidence were not intended
as presents to him, but that some of his
patrons had admired the coat Of arms
on the panel OF his coach so much that
he had reproduced them on all the car
riages he happened 10 have in the shop.
Just WHY loyal Americans should want
q coat OF arms IS a question useless 20
discuss, II is sufficient that they do want
them. ana those who are ambitious IN
this direction doubtless belong 10 the
saAhe class as those who industriously
hunt tufts and other evidences Of no

OF any coat Of arms it viii be found
that some incident in the career of the
founders OF the family who bear them
suggested the insignia. For instance. the
coat of arms borne by noted Washing
ton family has on a shield seven leaves
from the elm tree. The tale that ac-
counts for this is, that the father OF the
b house once when on a hunt and saved his
king from being killed by a wild boar
'whereupon. there being no sword avail
able. the king picked up the first thing
at hand. which happened TO be the
branch Of an elm tree, and knighted
him, and the origin OF many other coats
OF arms are quite as simple
The Clarendon coat Of arms includes
several red crosses which recalls the
service Of that family in the crusades, and
in most other English coats Of arms that
date back so far there are reminders OF
jhat romantic period. The Essex bearings
are a silver field. with a scallOped red
cross IN its center, a bouquet Ghe little
