The post of Ambassador in Berlin is
one of the most difficult in the Ameri-
can diplomatic service. 1t requires
more than craftsmanship to fill it to
the satisfaction of all commemorative
president, the American people, the
American colony in Berlin, the Kaiser,
the Kaiser's court, the diplomatic circle
and society. If he is reserved and ex-
elusive he is declared "snob' and
''un-American." If he is democratic
even some Americans call him "com-
mon" because he received those be-
meath their particular set. If he lives
in accordance with Jeffersonian sim
plieity, he is looked down upon by the
government, court and diplomatic cir.
cles, which affects his standing and
that in turn his usefulness. If he en-
tertains as ambassadors of other pow
ers do and as is customary, he increases
his own prestige and that of Uncle
Sam, but may lose popularity at home
where' cutting social dash is look
ed upon more or less as contrary to
American principals. If he complies
with the rule of the court to wear a
blue and gold uniform in the Jefferson
ian evening dress he is regarded in
court and diplomatic circles as bit
"queer." But it is easier to please the
Kaiser's court than it is to please the
American colony and those Americans
who sit around European hotels calling
every titled person by their first name
For the privilege" of all this, the am
bassador pays a nice little contribution
to the campaign fund of his party and
finds to his surprise upon getting to
his post that he is compelled to con
tribute about 100000 more annually
to maintain the dignity Of Uncle Sam
Ambassador Gerard gives promise of
being able to break the "hoodoo" that
so long has hung over the post of the
American ambassador in Berlin Dig
nified but genial, reserved but very
democratic, exceedingly tactful, a ready
speaker and pleasing personality, he has
made an excellent impression alike in
the Kaiser's court, diplomatic circles
and among Americans. In the Mexican
situation he has had quick opportunity
to show his craftsmanship grip upon
things diplomatic. He has openly an
nounced that he is after the reputation
of being the "most American ambassa-
dor ever in Berlin" and seems in a
fair way of achieving that distinction
quickly.

POST OF AMBASSADOR
AT Berlin HARD ONE
Justice James Watson Gerard Has Rent
ed House But He Has Some Hard
Problems to Solve.
POST is REGARDED AS BIG
"HooDoo" BY MANY PEOPLE
Tower Was Ridiculed, Hill Fell Down
Badly and Leichman Was I'm
popular with Americans
BY KARL H. Won WIEGAND.
GBerlin Correspondent of the United
Press.)

Berlin, Dec. 16.-Justice James Wat
son Gerard, Uncle Sam s ambassador to
Germany will not be "homeless much
longer. He has found 'Ehome" in
which the American eagle can scream
without being ashamed of himself and
which is rapidly being put into shape
for occupation. A real estate agent has
pocketed a fat commission and a land
lord-or rather landlady-is happy
to have so profitable tenant.
Because of the parsimonious policy
of the richest country in the world to
pay rents year after year for ambas-
sadors instead of owning them as is the
case with all other powers, "Troubles
of an Ambassador" from a most inter
esting chapter Of unwritten diplomatic
history that repeats itself every time
there is change Of parties in the Uni
ted States Uncle Sam is known abroad
as ga renter" and the term is not nice
ly applied. No matter how democratic
the ambassadors of the United States
may try to be with kings and poten-
tates, they are humble, slaves to the
landlords and real estate dealers, who
'demand-and get-obeisances and adul-
alton and what is more to the point
monstrously exorbitant rentals which
necessitates Uncle Sam S ambassadors
digging down deep into their own pock-
cts for "expense money"
But that is only one of the little
troubles that makes the new ambassa-
dor or minister regret the contribution
he made to the campaign fund. Am
'bassador Gerard s demands in the way
of house were modest. Although he
pays $4,000 of his $17,50O salary, as
rent, the new American embassy would
not attract even passing notice for ex-
terror elegance, on Fifth avenue or the
principal residence street of other
American cities Gerard s househunt-
ing troubles have been similar to those
of Page in London, Penfield in Vienna,
where the American embassy is still in
hotel, and of Minister Vopicka in
Bucharest and of the new Ambassador
to st. Petersburg.

The Ideal Home
(Contfnued from Page 81

Jne NeBeJaDlo garden increase the
seeming length of the whole property
and form an admirable background
for the massing of the shrubbery. If
you pause at the wicket gate which
so invites your entrance, the curving
gravel path, fiecked with shadow and
light, leads you on to the little low
bricked stoop, past the rose garden
and the latticed porch, with a glimpse
of the low terrace and its approach
guarded by two huge boxed hydran-
geas. At the stoop, two little formal
box trees, square cut, give a sug-
gestion of urban conventionality,
heightened by the wrought iron Ian
terms hanging on each side of the
simple door.
THERE is a brick-paved pergola
porch opening from the dining
room and overlooking the gardens,
completely screened from the street
from every side. At the end of the
brick path running along the terrace
is tiny tea house, quantity named
"Gazabo." This terrace divides the
formal garden from the informal and
side the brick steps lead down to the
grass walk, bordered with flower
beds. Around the corner is q shady
court centering about a large tree
which an old-fashioned seat encircles.
The garage across the kitchen yard
belongs to the house in general de-
sign and finish. A pergola covered
walk runs from the pergola porch
along the south of the kitchen yard
as far as the garage; and its con-
Itinuation, a gravel path shaded by
sturdy apple trees, leads directly be-
hind the garage, past the rubbish
yard to the vegetable garden termi-
mating there.
The entire arrangement gives the
feeling of almost limitless space; of
succession of gardens each COM
plete in itself and each having it's
own particular charm and use. The
formal approach, the house perfectly
planned, with living rooms cut off
from the sleeping apartments, and
the service quarters likewise grouped,
the kitchen and drying yard, the
ltradesmen's entrance and the COM
plete garage, all make for practica.
bility. All these and the screened-off
rubbish yard for the collection of all
the unbeautiful things that accumu-
late about place, the vegetable gar
den located to the best advantage,
having open sunny spaces to the
lsouth and the pleasure gardens, ade-
quately arranged and yet capable of
still greater development according
to the taste of the owner, constitute
Enthusiastically and not less practically
the Ideal Home.
THIS is a home where every mod
ern convenience for simple house
keeping has been considered; a real
home where the delight of the out-of-
doors blends unobtrusively into the
satisfaction of the indoors; a home
of light and air and warmth and
creature comforts. Ideally appointed
1t is, to lessen housework. Steps are
saved and the eternal cleaning mini
mized. Every woman will appreciate
a home that she can take care of her
self without undue labor; "a home
not all up and down stairs, or stupid

so unnaturally fortunate as not to be
affected by the servant problem, to-
permanently have sufficient and will

make the regulation of routine even
less arduous.
