4 AR. CURTIS protested and second ruling
W by the alien envoys compromised by
temporarily acknowledging the status claimed
for Mrs. Cam pending official ruling by the
United States Government OF course, no such
ruling was expected. none came, and there the
case stands.
The State Department as co-arbiter of Capt.
tai etiquette, once decided that Alisa Mellon,
who acted as hostess for her father, Secretary
Of the Treasury Mellon, did not take prece-
dence over the wives of diplomats, though wives
Of cabinet members ordinarily do.
As far as the First Lady Of the Land Is con-
cerned. she shares her husbands honors on all
occasions when both are present. But in enter
ing or leaving an auto, boat, church, room. it is
the Chief Executive and not his wife who goes
first
The story Is related that when Mrs. Harding
first arrived at the White House she preceded
her husband into the private elevator but was
reminded by an elevator attendant, 1.-THE Presi-
dent first, madam!"
Only those entirely familiar with official life
realize the importance and necessity of social
precedence. There are certain usages and Gus

THERE is continual feud between the cabinet
and the Senate as to which is the more i'm
portant socially as well as politically.
The Senators claim that, because they have
to confirm presidential nominations including
cabinet appointments-they are more power
full" Custom, however, DEGREES that the cabi-
net members, being responsible heads Of Fed
eral establishments, should outrank the more
numerous Senators.
Notwithstanding, it Is the practice for wives
Of cabinet officers to make the first call on the
wives of Senators. Mrs. Harding tried to SIM
pity matters by asking the ladies Of the Sem
ate as the Senators wives are known, to the
White House one afternoon and having the
ladies Of the cabinet call on them there
The cabinet ladies did not relish the expert
ment and it was not repeated. As sort Of
social compromise, cabinet ladies precede SEN
ate ladies at dinner.
Seniority Of members Of Congress Is gov
erned not by age but by years Of continuous
service in the respective Houses. A Senator,
say, with 10 years Of unbroken service to his
credit outranks q colleague with is years Of
service not continuous. Their ages have moth
ing to do with it.
II two Senators, or Representatives, with ex-
actly the same length Of service took the oath
on the same day at the same minute seniority
would be accorded the one whose State had
been In the Union longer.

Under no circumstances does the wife Of an
official take her husbands title, though she
does share his other honors.
Wives Of the judiciary still consider them
selves ranking the ladies Of the Senate, yet
wives Of ofncials below the rank Of Speaker Of
the House call first on the wives Of Senators
and on women whose husbands In official life
have dealings with particular committees. such
as Foreign Relations, Military Affairs etc.
The wife of the Speaker Of the House is sup
posed to pay first calls ON the wives Of ranking
officials
It is one Of the oddities Of the system In
effect at the Capital Of this '1and Of the free
and equal" that the Longworth-Gann case was
twice referred by our State Department to the
foreign diplomats at Washington TO see II they
could settle it.

LIVER since a certain foreign Ambassador
precede him the head Of the high tribunal has
traditionally refrained from attending func-
tions graced by the presence of such alien
dignitaries.
The late Chief Justice Taft took particular
exception to the State Department ruling that
in the United States Ambassadors Of foreign
nations outrank even the Chief Justice. He
was not Modified by the fact that on foreign
soil the American Chief Justice is returned the
courtesy Of ranking all Ambassadors but our
own. At our own embassies and legations
when the Secretary Of State happens to be
present the Chief Justice must play second
fiddle
The foreign diplomatic set Is extremely
touchy about precedence. Consequently Uncle
Sam has to treat it as a preferred class.
Its members, besides enjoying diplomatic
immunity, cannot be invited to meet or mingle
with others below its station in hfe-even in
such democratic city as Washington. Hence
the velvet ropes which segregate the various
"castes" at White House receptions.
1t is by courtesy only that diplomats wife
shares her husbands honors. Italy is the only
country which recognizes the social position
Of an Ambassadors wife to the extent Of pay
ing her regular salary.
Much tact has to be used in seating guests
at state dinners.
When wiedfelt was German Ambassador
here shortly after the World War great care
was exercised so not to seat him near the
then French Ambassador, Jusserand. But
diplomacy masks hatreds with courtesy and
the two are known to have passed remark or
two.
Not so Baron de Cartier de Marchienne, the
Belgian Ambassador. He could not be in
duced to say civil word to Germany's repre-
sentative, and on one occasion seating arrange
ments were changed at the last minute because
the barons American wife objected to being
assigned place near the German envoy.
The rank Of members of the cabinet depends
upon the order in which their respective de-
partments were created. Because the Agricul-
ture Commerce and Labor Departments were
not born until after the presidential succession
act Of 1886, their particular heads are not In
line for the presidency
The Secretary of State enjoys an odd status
Evening star., 1933-04-02

THE late Speaker Nicholas Longworth, for in
stance, regarded the vice presidency as sub
ordinate to the executive branch Of the Gov
ernment, whereas, according to his argument,
the Speaker of the House Is spokesman for one
Of the three great branches of administration
created by the Constitution. BY the same
token, Speaker Longworth held that he socially
eclipsed the Chief Justice
There are those in the Senate who feel that
the trainers of that immortal document, the
Constitution, have been defeated In their effort
to make the House of Representatives supreme
Of the two legislative bodies.
On the other hand, argument Is offered that
the Speaker of the House wields more power
than the Vice President, who, to some minds,
q only a "figurehead" for the Senate for want
Of something else to do while awaiting presi-
Dental succession eventualities.
Yet it is fact that the Vice President is
second in the line of succession, which In itself
gives him not little social prestige Further
more, precedent has long ruled in the Vice
Presidents favor
Thus at affairs of state we find the Vice
President yielding position only to the Chief
Executive himself STILL the White House has
found it advisable to smooth things over by
giving separate dinners to the Vice President
and the Speaker Of the House.
These two officials are about the only ones

bers of the Supreme Court The former never
calls on the justices, and the Speakers, at In
tervals, repeat their old argument that the
head of the legislative branch should precede
the judiciary.
However, members Of the highest tribunal
in the land hold Office for life and are gen.
orally recognized as taking priority. At any
rate, the mass Of Washington oficialdom pays
the justices the tribute of first calls.
Though the foreign Ministers now follow suit,
there is still question as to whether an asso-
ciate justice outranks foreign Minister (not
an Ambassador) or vice versa. The result Is
that the two classes are never invited to the
same function
Wives Of associate justices call first on the
wives Of Ambassadors. as well as the wife Of
the Chief Justice, the State Department having
ruled that on home grounds foreign Ambassa-
dors outrank the native judiciary.
