DANDIES OF PARIS
I PUZZLED BY PRINCE
Inconsistency in Matters of
Dress Leaves Them Without j
Guiding Star.
H\ l.\ MAIltlL I>K. 1113 KOXTEXOV. I
Tut; puzzled state at mtnd ot tnos-l
Parisian dandles who so eager?
ly noted the attire of tin- Prince
of Wale*? with the idea of taking
him as their model of "the pink of
fashion and mold of forth," Is deeid- |
edly amu6lng to thosj who know any?
thing about tho modest, quiet fellow,
and how unlikely he is to pose at, a
Beau Kr?mmel, or strive lo become a]
s< ond edition of hi.' grandfather as
regards tho Parisian;- Closa observ
era and would-be Imitators of the.
Prince of Wales noticed that his coat,
when he arrived in Paris, was hut-!
toned at the third button only, the.
two buttons beltiK unemployed, thus
snowing a large expans.- of shirt-front
and the upper part of the waistcoat.
Promptly they rushed off t" their
tailors to have their attire modified toi
correspond. Their next view showed
them, to their great chargtn, that the
young man had reversed the style.I
This time the top button was employed,!
the other two possessing n sinecure.1,
His Inconsistency In Hits weighty mat-1
tcr appears to have lof this observers
without a guildiug star But tho prince
seems to be a sensible youth, and not)
to care a button about the matter. I
Posstblv he has taken a ies?on from;
Iiis cran?father. Eduard VII.. when;
Prince Of Wales, who madr several!
attempts tri modify the dres.-. of his'
masculine future lieges, not one ot,
Vhlch. if my memorv serves mc aright, |
wai successful, although In more Im?
portant anrl Weighty matters he was j
aide tei accomplish an enormous amount
'>f rood for iiis country, and render,
services of Infinite value.
This beneficent Influence he began
to cx.-rcise when shortly alter bis,
marriage he wEntrusted by his j
widowed and grief-strtcken mother
with the task of r> presenting tno
crown In its relations with Hoeieiy
at home anei abroad. Among Lh'2 many
frulis of his example are the diminu?
tion of drunkenness upon which he
placed his ban. ll became no longer
fashionable, and the masses followed
the ?xample of the classes, so that
a drunkard began to be desniaed and
regarded with contempt, ajid .ntem
perance to be considered "bad form."
Formerly. In the navy, tho t :otolai
officer who from principle declined to
drink with wine the health Of the
sovereign at dinner was considered
as guilty of an act^ that Mmacked
slightly of disloyalty. Whan Edward
VII. ascene^ed the throne he notified
the officers of his navy that they neeel
feel under no obligation whatever to
?trink his health In spirituous liquors;
that hi would feel just as highly h ti?
ered and pleused if they used mineral
water or any other temperance bev?
erage for the purpose.
Moreover, he caused .swearing and
coarse language to go out of fashion.
It oceanic no longer necessary to em?
phasize a positive statement with a
blood-curdling oath, or to be consid?
ered a milksop. In numberless oihor
ways he led the people in the right
direction, not the least of which was
his habit of regular church-going on
Sundays, although he never pos id as
a salin But when it came to sump?
tuary matters, that is to say. fashions
in men's dress and personal adornment|
his flock became unruly and bolted In
the opposite direction.
The most nolabla instance of this
that 1 can remember concerned the
silk hat. The popularity of this Im-1
posing form ol masculine head gear
bad fallen off, not only In England
and the United States, but all over the|
world, and itu manufacturers and arti-.
sans were In despair, nine-tenths of
the demand for their wares having
fallen off. Klnir Edward, In response
to appeals from the principal repre?
sentatives of this industry in France
and Englnnd sought to revive ihe
veigvu; of the silk hat by wearing it
in public on every possible occasion.
For a timer he made a practise of send?
ing equerries to the principal smart
clubs, the Marlborough, the Turf and
others, on the mornings of race days,
each of ihe men wearing a silk hut.
as a hint that he himself would elon
one. and that it would please him to I
see the members all similarly "tiled."
Bill his- wishes were entirely i,rn >r?d, j
ind it was not until tue King gave up;
his kindly exertions In despair and1
took to wearing a derby at a few!
race meets, that tnese clubmen, appar?
ently by way of -howlner their inde?
pendence in sumptuary questions,
turned up In the newest and most
resplendent of "toppers."
On anothar occasion Edward niaele
?in attempt to Introduce a compromls?
between the silk hat and the derby,)
but 1 never heard of anybody wear
Ing one except the prince himself, j
I saw one exhlblteel in a shop window i
on Piccadilly as a curosity apparent- |
ly. It did not. seem to tempt any one \
to go In and buy. In short. I cannot !
recall having heard of any f.-ishion in
such a minor matter as masculine at-1
lire that Edward VII, succeeded In in - i
troduclng In Englnnd at any rate.
Under the circumstances it secajs'
rather amusing that Parisian' should
look to-his grandson for Inspiration. !
The appointment of Miss Clothilda
T.ulsl aa a full-fledged minister plenl- '
potentlary to the court of Brussels to,
officially represent the republic of i
Uruguay has naturally caused a good!
eleal of a sensation among the dlplo- j
mats, who iwlll feel disposed to treat I
this pretty young girl with a gr.ot1
deal more consideration than the rep-',
presentatlves of some of the South
American republics are In the habit t
of reed vlng. Miss Hulsl le ontltled
to the prefix of "Dr." to her namo, as
she has taken a degree at the Univer?
sity of Montevideo. Tt mny turn out
thul Uruguay hns done a very shr ?wd
thing in making this appointment, andi
I sea no reason why the lady shouldi
not make an excellent'minister plenl-'
potentlary, for although ana may. Be,
the first of tho fair sex to hold such'
r. position In proprio persona, all those!
who have had the least experience In]
diplomacy, arc awarj that women play
a very important part In International|
affairs: aa the wives of ambassadors,
tor instance.
It Is generally admitted that women
possess an Intuitive insight ,nto the
character and motives >.t thus.- with]
whom they arc brou^.il into contact,
that Is denied to the coarser fibred!
and more matter of fart Intellect of,
thc male diplomat. In lh^ exercise of
this quality as applied to diplomacy,
American women have provc-d them?
selves to be highly efficient and gifted.
Indeed, there have beep '>o many mar?
riages i>ei ween American girls and
foreign diplomats, that It would seem
as if the daughters of Uncle Sum pos?
sessed in a more superlative degree
than women of other nationalities,
those qualities *hnt arc most highly
prized by envoys and secretaries of
legation.
What thssc qualities are, what are
the Ingredients that go t-. mike up
an Ideal ambassadress, are well des?
cribed In the words of the Comte d<
Mouy, who for many years represented
the French government at Home.
Among other things he says, "Neither
beauty nor age holds a high place in
the qualifications of an ideal ambas?
sadress, provided her features and ex?
pression be pbasant and agreeable.
Her voice should be sympathetic and
her manner kindly. .<lic should pos?
sess the art of knowing Just what to
sav and nothing mor.-. .She should be
lever and well informed, without nnv
affection of silence or Intellectual
superiority. She should abstain from
uncharitable gossip, as well aa from
discussions and arguments, and above,
all, avoid making a contldanl of any
one. . . .
She should know how to win the j
love and sympathy of those around1
her for the government and for thei
people to which she belongs, and.
most Important of all, she should pos?
sess in the most axojulslte degree that
not merely cardinal, but I might al?
most say pontifical virtue, namelv.i
tact" No doubt time win show how!
near Mis:, Luisl approarhes this high!
standard.
