Established Prtcedent Adhered to St
All Times—Why Piesident Does
Not Dme .it Foreign
Embassies.
On© of the peculiarities of life In
Washington |« the existence of otllcla:
ruled which arrange everybody's place
lu spit© of an air of great simplicity.
SUV* the Rosary Magazine, the most
complicated arrangements go smooth
ly because every possible contlngeu
cy has boon provided for.
This 1h In no place more evident
than at the White House. TWere Is no
ai'P'm; anc.o of wreinonial, nnd yet ev
erybody's place U so fixed that nobody
can possibly he embarrassed.
At the state receptions the order of
precedence Is regulated by the law
of presidential succession passed un
det Mi t leveluml * administration
Tlte president, of con se. Is tirst. Aflei
him oomes the vice president. Aftei
this the chief justice lunk* all oinciala
of thw United States.
The vice president being “heir ap
parent." lie precedes at soctnl ofllciul
functions the ambassadors and minis
ters. On New Year's day the diploma
tic corps Is always received first by
the president.
There Is an opinion afloat that tin
c' •••' Ice si uid i k even an am
baasador, but this do**a not seem to
be gaining ground, though at times
there are hot controversies over It
The chief Justice and the judiciary
rank cabinet officials; but they nr© not
expected to stand In line at state re
ceplions at the White House. This Is
the prerogative of the cabinet.
The newspapers sometimes give the
Impression that all these questions of
precedence are the affair of the ladles,
ns all matters of etiquette art* in
Ac ericau cities generally. This is
erroneous. A chief Justice hlnmolf. a
gem-ral of the army an admiral of the
navy would make It a matter for scrl
o»is consideration were his place taken
by another
1 he governor of a state. i»v the way
comes after a general in the army
or an admiral In the navy.
The diplomatists represent their na
tlnns. and by courtesy they precede In
all countries. The precedence of att
ambassador or minister Is not a i»er
aonal matter; he coital lors the dlgnl
ty of his sovereign or hiH country. So
careful ate the diplomatists— the
heads of embassies or legations -that
they may without ofFeris ■ inquire of p
host# s • hen they « e- pt an invitation
where they are to h* placed, if there
Is to be a guest of honor from the
country of the ambassador or minister,
he must not have the place of honor—
the tight hand of the hostess— titiles?
he is of the royal family.
W hen Prince Henry visited Wash
lngton he took pri ed* tie** of Ihirnn
Speck von Sternburg: but no matter
how important any visitor front Her
many not of royal Idood might he tin*
ambassador could not meet him at din
ner and take an Inferior place. Tin
British ambassador would rank the
dak** of Not folk in Washington
though in his own country lie is a coin
nioner. but not a royal duke.
I In- wives of i!.o ambassadors and
minister* take flu* rank of their has
hands. And naturally if a woman—
a widow, for instance— should give a
dinner, the ambassador’s wife should
be taken in to dinner by the most Ini
portnnt man In rank. The host takes
In the wife of the ambassador and
the hostess the ambassador.
At dinners given by diplomatists
there is no record that the vice-presi
dent and the secretary of Htate have
been Invited at th** same time. The
reason is that the secretary of state
Is constantly in dose relation* with
the diplomatic corps and a sentiment
the seer* tary to a dinner where lie
would be ranked by the vice president
wrth whom the diplomatists have
