When the American woman has arrived
at the point of desiring q heraldic crest

and a coat-of-arms to enblazon upon

wise man. takes immediate steps to Sc
cure them for her. While no small amount
Of false heraldry Is displayed in the
United States, those who desire to use
such ornaments prefer to have them
genuine II possible, as we'll as to have
the proper authority for their use. To
secure this, recourse is promptly made
to the genealogical records upon both
sides OF the house to that which comes
nearest to nobility in It's descent. II it
is found that some ancestor more or less
remote was the bearer Of a coat-of-arms,
application may be made to the College
OF Arms 70. a certificate Of privilege to
revive 1t. Having obtained this, the Amer
lean woman will have the right to blazon
her heraldic ornaments according to her
own sweet will. unrestricted by any Of the
laws limiting their use which exist in the
countries where heraldry originated.
The coronation Of King George gave
an unprecedented impetus to the demand
for coats-of-arms on the part Of Amer
many of the visitors to long for the dec
Orattons borne by their ancestors, and
since then the College Of Arms has been
bedeged with applicants. More than a
the past six months has been from the
United States and this proportion Is in
creasing. In the majority Of cases the
applicants show good foundation for their
claims and the coveted certificate Of
privilege IL granted.
The question is frequently asked: What
entities an American family to the use

Right to Use answer is that

national, SO that
an American who can prove that his fam
lily bore arms In q European country
can secure permission to use that design
quite as readily as q Frenchman, or the

applications for the revival Of English

than from all Of the rest OF the world put

To wear arms 1t Is not essential that
