Austrian and French Representatives Likely to Be ReCaIled-Amuslng Incidents of New Years
 Day at White House.
By GEORGE CLINTON.


 Bryce, the British ambassador, led the line at the reception of the diplo- mats. Mr. Bryce is ranked in length of service by MT. J. J. Jusserand, the French ambassador, and by Baron Hengelmuller von Hengervar, who is the dean of the diplomatic corps. It recently has been rumored that the ambassadors of France and Austria Hungary are to be recalled, and if this prove true it is probable that the representative of Great Britain for the first time in good many years will hold the rank in position in Washington of the corps of foreigners. There also have been rumors that MT. Bryce is to be recalled, but from the best informed sources it is learn ed to be likely that he will remain here until the present ruling party in England passes from power, un- less,, of course, it should keep it's place for great many years to come.
 Something in These Names.
 'What's in a name is question and a quotation in one which has passed into what the fiippant call the class of the bromides. A good deal is found to be in some names when one reads the list of the diplomatic representa- tives of Austria-Hungary to the Unit ed States. The ambassadors name, as will be seen by a glance at it becomes small affair when com pared with the names of some of the subordinates in his office. For in- stance, there is Capt. Baron F. Preus- chen von und zu Liebenstein, naval attache. The wife of the captain baron carries the same name Then there are Count Felix von Brusselle- Schaubeck~ and Ivan Csekonics de zsombolja set Ianova. Then also. for fuller measure, there is Secretary of Legation Stephen Hedry de Hedri ct de Generes Aba. Why the secretary spells Hedry, which occurs twice in his name, two different ways not even the attaches of the embassy seem to be able to tell.
 There is a wide difference between the New Years day reception and the receptions which are now being held at intervals of two weeks Children are admitted to the reception on the first day of the year and an interested army officer observer who stood close to the president at the great recep- tion of citizens without regard to race. color, creed or previous condi- tion of servitude, has told one or two little stories about things which hap pened under the eye of MT. Taft when the crowd was passing by. !. Bound Not to Miss the President.
 A boy about seven years old, groom ed up to the minute, with shining face and slick hair, was in line unattend- ed by any elder in the capacity of guardian This boy was mortally afraid that he would not know the president when he reached him and consequently would lose the opportu- nity to shake the hand of greatness. So as a matter of precaution he be- gan shaking hands the instant he en- tered the front door of the White House. He grasped the palm of chief usher and then the palms of four or five naval and army officers in quick. succession; then he bowed gravely and shook hands with Chief John E. Wilkie of the United States Secret Service, who is perhaps the handsomest man in Washington, and then he shook hands with Major Butt, who turned him around kindly and headed him straight toward the pres ident. Then at the supreme moment the youngster fell fiat at the feet of greatness The president could not keep from laughing. The boy was un- hurt-a fact which the president more quickly than anybody else discovered, for he leaned over, lifted the boy up, put him on his feet, >patted him on the head. asked him how old he was, shook his hand at least half a dozen times and finally, waved to the lad. who was overburdened with smiles and joy. as he disappeared into the outside corridor.
 A young man and his wife brought their year-old baby to the White House. The baby was arrayed in it's best and through all the long minutes of waiting, outside and inside the White House it kept its good nature. smiled at everybody, grabbed at the gold braid of army officers and crow ed and had generally the time of its as yet short life.
 The father and mother approached the room when the president stood. The baby's struggling locks were pushed back under it's cap. it was chucked under the chin to insure a continuance of its good nature and then it was turned about to face the president-and that instant it opened it's mouth and let out a vail which could be heard as far as the treasury building.
