would make a sorry showing beside
the itniHisiiiir hocly which now repre
sents the foreign government at
this capital.
Seven governments arc now repre

France. The amhassadors take pro
cid tcp of the ministers plenieten
tiary and envoys extraordinary, and
rank, according to the olllclal cole
generally accepted, after thn vice
president and before the cabinet.
The late Lord l'nunecfote was the
first ambassador to present bis cre
dentials to this government ami until
his death was the dean of the diplo
matic corps. He was succeeded by
1 1 r. von llolleben, the oldest ambas
sador, according to length of service.
I 'r. von llolleben is now on leave of
absence.
No other member of the Itrltish dip
lomatic service Is so wcdl equipped
to cultivate friendly relations be
tween his own and this government
as the present llrltish ambassador,
lie is a member of a family that for
generations has taken an active part
in the history of the state, a man of
cleverness, tact ami culture, whose
marriage to an American ami long
residence on this side of the water
have taught him to understand the
American character, customs, institu
tions nud traditions.
Moreover, while he wbh attached
to the legation as secretary under
Lord l'uuncofote he became the Inti
mate friend of Theodore Roosevelt.
The latter and the Kngllsh secretary
sprinted through the suburbs togeth
er, rode ac ross country, passed even
ines with each other and became
warm personal friends.

friendship of his country with thl?
with the .shrewd diplomatic (cense for
which he is noted, determined to
place at the head of his embassy here
a man who would equal the Itrltish
ambassador in talents, family, wealth,
tact ami connections on this side of
the water.
Dr. von llolleben's alleged mistakes
were seized upon by the emperor as
an excuse to summon him to Ger
many and let appoint as temporary
head of the embassy Kreilierr Speck
von Stcrnburg. minister and envoy on
extraordinary mission. The story of
Iiaron von Sternbnig's career is al
most identical with that of the llrltish
ambassador. He comes from an old
Saxon house, his mother was of
Scotch origin unci he was born at
Ieeds, England, where his father was
engaged In business, but returned to
Germany to Inherit the title and e.

as a member of the legation and the
embassy staff, when It was raised to
that rank, gave him the opportunity
to become acquainted with the Amer
ican character.
He, too, is married to an American
wife, tho daughter of a prominent
Kentucky family, which in the last
generation removed to California,
where the foundation of the large
fortune which the Baroness von
Sfernburg now enjoys won laid. His

Count Cassini. the Russian ambassa
dor, who has been stationed in Wash

diplomatist. It Is matter of com
plaint among son- of his colleagues
that his ndoptcd daughter, who Is not

ambassadress a rank which only the
wife of an ambassador is entitled to
has practically that position, be

Russia owes much of the power and
influence she enjoys in the East to
his agency when acting as her minis
ter In Pekin. There are few matters
of diplomatic Importance between this
country nnd Russia. The ambassador
Is more or less a figurehead, and the
main thing is that he should be a
good figurehead and make an impres
sion commensurate with the Immense
power he represents.
France followed the tactics of Eng
land and Germany in appointing as
her representative to this country a
diplomatist with an American wife,

IN NEW YORK YACHT CLUB.
German Emperor Now a Member of
Famous Organization.
An officer of tho New Yprk Yacht
eluh is quoted as expressing the be
lief that the German emperor has long
repented of the treatment which in
past years he Is credited with having
put upon members of that organlza
tion. Years ago an official of the New
York Yacht club said: "Emperor Will
lam never will be able to get into
the club owing to the way he has
tre ated American yachtsmen In German
waters. He has gone out of his way
to offer insults to our club members
and other American yacht owners and
it makes our blood boil!" The same
official points several reasons for be
lief that the emperor has heard of the
remarks quoted. "For instance." he
says, "the Meteor was designed and
built In this country and Prince Hen
ry came over to establish entente
cordiale." The club forgave and now
the kaiser and his uncle. King Ed
ward, are on the list of honorary mem
bers. It is said that the Invitation to
the kaiser went through George W.
Perkins at Mr. Morgan's suggestion.
Perkins became a regular member
last year.
President Pleased Children.
President Hoosevelt directed Col.
Ilingham to throw open the south
.rounds of the- white house to the chil
dren em Faster Monday for egg roll

years. The President also directed
the acting secretary of the navy to
order the marine band to give the
usual open-air concert for the enter

For Summer Gowns.
Heavy linen laces, inset with Hol
land linens, give a distinctive look
to some of the smartest summer
gowns just out, the white predominat
ing. But these Holland linens in pale
and dark blue, delicate green, gun
metal gray, tan and cream shades, are
charming made up with torchon, mal
tese and other linen luces. They are
shown in separate walking skirts,
shirt waists and full shirt-waist suits.
With mull ties and lineu belts with
silver buckles these gowns are as
pretty and cool as possible.
Brilliant Blue in Favor.
Beautiful, brilliant blue of the true
sapphire hue gains more and more in
favor. When it was introduced a
year or mors aso womankind was
afraid of it, and only the most dar
ing of the ultra-fashionables would
touch It at all. While an entire hat
of it may not be advisable, there's no
denying a smart ostrich feather
caught to the side or back of a black
turban is tremendously effective.
Whole sapphire blue evening
dresses 'are especially admired by
fair ones possessing valuable Jewels
In the shape of sapphires. When the

refined effects are in chiffon over
various paler shades of blue. Clever

stunning effects may be had.
Lace Knots for the (Hair.
Knots of lace make pretty hair or
naments. Inch wide lace la wired In
the shape of a square bow, two loops
and two ends. In the center is fast
ened a tiny aigrette and a small
rhlnestone ornament. Silver pail
lettes are sewed, to the lace at In
tervals. Ribbon bows are left with
one end unfastened that It may be
wound round the coll of hair when the
coiffure Is small. ,
Rosettes of tulle are mounted on
gilt wire pins and are very dainty in
the, hair.
Rosettes made of tulle are shown in
pulrs to be worn on dancing slippers.
A small rhlnestone ornament is fast
ened in the center of each.
Ostrich pompons, small white mer
cury wings, tiny ostrich feathers and
large white down nomponc are the
most popular hair ornaments in feath
ers. Shoes and Gloves.
Tho most dressy evening shoes
have large rosette shaped flowers in
place of a buckle namely, either a
rose chrysanthemum or a dahlia, and
sometimes a bunch of small blooms.
Champagne-colored Suedes, made
very long, are fashlonablo for the mo
ment. They tone in with old lace,
and they are bringing in lace inser
tions Into some of these gloves. With
elbow sleeves people are wearing the
mitten sleeve namely, a long mitten
which forms a point over the band
something between a medieval cuff
and the old original mitten.
French Canvas for Waias.
French canvas Is being made up
extensively into shirt waists, a fa
vorite pattern consisting of stripes of
color separated with a hairline of
black. Mercerized cheviots, Oxford
shirtings and mercerized madras are
among the desirable fabrics for shirt
waists. For shirt waist suits linen
etaraine is a favorite, as It develops
so smartly, while foulard is as popu
lar as ever, for nothing Is cooler or
more serviceable for hot weather.
Another Toque.
This toque is of burnt straw,
trimmed with velvet and wings of
black.
Tea Rolls.
One pint of warmed milk and one
half cup .lard melted Into it, two
teaspoons of sugar, one yeast cake
or one-half will do, flour to make a
batter, set over night. In the morn

tus in a little warm water, salt, one
egg beaten, and flour to make a

The newest street gowns show In
numerable little capes on shoulders,

The Coming Width of Skirts.
No one can lay down any rule for
the making and cut of the skirts of
the immediate future, but everything
points to their being shorter and much
fuller. We are copying the idea of
them from some of the mediaeval
dresses, that were much gathered and
plaited to within some inches below
the waist. Such skirts are generally
trimmed round with bands of some
contrasting material trimmed square
at the neck with lace, the sleeves
puffed from the gatherings on the
shoulder to above the wrist, where
there are more gathers. You can see
plenty of these skirts just now on the
stage, where there are many ex
amples of skirts which just touch the
ground.
Loose Jackets.
Some delightful loose jackets suit
able for the Louse and essentially
smart are being brought over from
Paris. It Is difficult to describe them,
for no two are alike. They are after
the Eton order, Insomuch that they do
not come below the waist, but though
some of them fit at the back, they
are all lc-se in front, and often fly
back so that the lower points of the
front droop over the walstoand and
the sleeves are not much beyond el
bow length, ending in long points be
low It. They generally have cape col
lars, and some are made In light
colored velvets trimmed with point
lace, but fur Is not considered a suit
able trimming.
