AT THE BRITISH EN-
BASSY yesterday at lunch
con, Washington's hottest
topic-the question of gift
receiving by Government en-
ployes-also came up.
When asked about Brit
ish policy, Ambassador
Caccia said both foreign and
civil servants are forbidden
to accept decorations or gifts
from either foreign or do
nestle friends. There are a
couple of minor exceptions,
subject to approval by the
Queen.
The policy goes way back
to Queen Elizabeth /. Sir
Harold told a story attrib-
uted to her which noted
Elizabethan authority James
Neale has never been able to
authenticate, but which
nevertheless has charm.
1t seems that the Queen
once observed two Of her
ministers wearing unfamiliar
decorations around their
necksr ribboned collars with
medals. She privately asked
what they were and was told
they were Spanish decora-
tons recently bestowed on
the two gentlemen.
Tell them" said her i'm
perious majesty, that my
dogs shall wear no collars
but mine ownl"
Not even the head of the
British government on down
can accept gifts even from
their own countrymen be-
cause tradition frowns upon
1t.
The most famous case on
record is that of Junior Min
lister John Belcher. MP, who
received a case of Scotch
about eight years ago from
someone on the Board of
Trade. The unfavorable pub
licity caused such q scandal
he lost his seat in Parlia-
ment.
Think how much the heads
Of our Government would
have to give up If Americans
adopted the same standard!

The Match Is Made
The Judge was shrewd and
mean. He used his position to
bring the lawyers to heel. He
made them compete with each
other for his smile. One after
noon he said to Mr.. Lincoln: "
suspect that you do not trust
me-" The lawyer was compelled
to lie. How can you say that,
Your Honor?" he said. II would
trust you with my life."
His honor smiled benignly
from the bench. He had jock
eyed this homely middle-aged
man into a position from which
there could be no retreat. The
judge masked his emotions and
said: I'm that case, Mr.. Lin
coin, you and ! will trade horses
sight unseen tomorrow morning
before court convenes."
The lawyers standing around
the bench burst into undecorous
laughter. They slapped their
thighs. The downstate lawyer
who had beaten them in so
many law cases was about to
be swindled legally. Mr.. Lin
coin would bring his good horse
up to the courthouse. The Judge
would lead a 50 nag, sick and
weak. and the two men would
swap.
In the morning the lawyers
waited outside the Springfield
Courthouse for the TRANSACT
ton. There was laughter and
there were jokes. It was good
to see Mr.. Lincoln beaten. This
pious, nondrinking, nonchew-
ing, nonswearing man needed

jutted upward from his teeth.
He was leading a swaybacked
nag which was so far gone that

that 1t would not be able to
get to the courthouse at a

sank to its knees. The lawyers

les. Someone looked up In the

Rose was fortunate to have
gotten this opportunity to see
Frank under these extraordi-
nary conditions before mar

in him at .this time would
probably come out in less dra-
matte form under the ordinary,
everyday conditions Of mar

The lawyer was Abraham

and he was Huckleberry Finn.
He was married to an hysteric
plump little woman whose face
purpled with venom and
jealousy. BY the same token.
Mr.. Lincoln was difficult to
live with. His moods were be-
