"Should I address him as Your Ex
cellency,' as 'Mr. President' or as
just 'President'?"
"I'm sure I don't know. Just mur-
mur President,' and I guess he won't
know the difference." |]
This conversation, overheard at one
of the White House receptions, is in
dicative of the difficulty with titles
encountered by visitors to the na
tional capital. Nor is there any print
ed guide to follow. These things must
be learned from well-posted friends,
or mistakes will be made.
In ye olden times no one ever
thought of addressing the chief ex-
ecutive of the United States less for-
mally than as "Your Excellency," but,
that expression is now relegated toj,,
the list of things that were. "Mr. Presi-1;;
d^nt" is the correct form, both in ..
speaking and writing. Mr. Roosevelt _
has even eliminated "The Executive .
Mansion" as the name of the presi- •
dent's official residence, and his sta-
tionery bears the simplfe inscription.
"The White House." I
It is not only with the title of the
chief executive that the uninitiated
find difficulty, for there are many
forms to be learned. For instance, j
cabinet officers are not addressed as
"Secretary Root," or "Secretary Gar
field." but as "Mr. Secretary." On the
other hand, senators are addresaTO by
their titles, as "Senator Lodge," "Sen
ator Hale." A few people prefix "Mr.
saying "Mr. Senator," but it Is not
considered as necessary, and by some
is pronounced an affectation.
Polite usage requires. Invariably, the
prefix to the titles of members of the
supreme court. For Instance, one ad
dresses the chief justice as Mr. Chief
Justice," and the associate justices as
"Mr. Justice," although in making an
introduction one would add the name,
as: "Mr. Justice White."
The rule which applies to the presi
dent applies also to the vice-president
and to foreign ministers, who are ad-
dressed as "Mr. Minister," but in the
case of ambassadors the form "Your
Excellency," is used except where one
is reasonably well acquainted, when
the simpler "Mr. Ambassador" is
adopted, and in every Instance one
or the other of these terms is used
Instead of the diplomat's personal ti-
tle of baron, count, or whatever it
may be.
Throughout the government scr
vice there are officials who are ad-
dressed by their titles with the prefix
"Mr.," such as the civil service com-
missioners, the interstate commerce
commissioners, the controller of the
treasury, and it is always safe when
in doubt to so address a man who
holds a public office.
With members of the house the
simple "Mr." should be used, and
not "Congressman," which is regard-
ed as provincial, despite the fact that
President Roosevelt is apt to use that
form. There are some members of the
lower house of congress who like to
be addressed as "Congressman," and
it is probably in deference to such
preference that the president has
adopted that expression. The speaker
of the house is always addressed as
"Mr. Speaker."
Army and navy circles also present
no little confusion because of the con-
flict between official titles and social
usage. For instance, those who know
never address socially a lieutenant
by his title, despite the fact that he Is
so designated in the army register,
and Is so addressed by his brother
officer when on official business. He
is simply "Mr. Smith," or whatever
bis name may be, and receives his
tltte In the social world only when
he reaches the grade of captain. But,
you may object, every one refers to
and addresses the leader of the Ma
rine Band as "Lieutenant Santeimann."
Very true, and that is because Lieu-
tenant Santeimann is not a commis-
sioned officer. He receives the title
by virtue of his position as leader
of the Marine Band, which carries
with it the rank of lieutenant, and
therefore every officer, whether speak
ing socially or officially, is punctilious
to use the title. And so, too. is the
same care exercised by every officer,
should he have occasion socially to
speak to or communicate with an en
listed man of any arm of the military
service, to address him by his rank
alone, as: "Sergeant," "Corporal,"
"Private."

X | the work of his church among the
? j whites of the Piedmont section of up-
per Carolina, devoted much of his
spare time to the study of conditions
among the colored people, it was in
a prosperous rural community, where
the two races are about numerically
equal, that this incident occurred.
One morning while driving along the
public road the minister met a negro
preacher of the neighborhood, ol
whom he had seen but little, but
whose confidence be had apparently
already won. The negro was what is
commonly called a "locus yr asher.
The conversation, at ilrst vsmd with
comments upon the little things of
common interest, naturally * *ed to
the subject of religion.
"Now, tell me something «! your
work," asked the minister. "Do you

Springfield, 111., Feb. 21. Wil-
liam J. Bryan visited Springfield to-
day to confer with his supporters
among the Democrats of Illinois.
Though ostensibly a rally of the
Bryan clubs of the State and held
without and special political signifi-
cance, it is believed the presence of
so many Bryan followers will be
taken advantage of for an Important
conference. Mr. Bryan is reported
to be not altogether saltisfled with
ithe way things have been allowed to
drift along in Illinois. The hostility
of National Committeeman Roger C.
Sullivan toward Bryan.and Bryan-
ism is well known, but recently other
maitters have come up to ruffle tht
surface. The suggestion of Gover-
nor Johnson of Minnesota for the
Democratic presidential nomination
has been received in Illinois with a
cordiality not to the liking of the
Bryan people. The Swedish element
is large and influential in this state
and nhough the majority of the Swe

At a meeting of a Washington short
story club the other evening a youne
today had she wished, but appar-
ently she did not care flor the honor,
which went to her cousin, Princess
Ena of Battenberg. Princess Patri-
cia is a great favorite wi'th her uncle,
the king, as well as with all of the
connections of the British royal fam-
ily. Her mother, the Duchess of
Connaught, was Princess Louise of
Prussia, a daughter of the splendid
soldier, Red Prince Frederick
Charles, who served so gloriously in
the Franco-Prussian war. The Duke
of Connaughit likewise is a distin-
guished military man, being a field
marshal ' of 'the British army and
since 1904 the Inspector-General of
the Forces. Princess Patricia has
but one brother, Prince Arthur o,f
Connaught, who visited America sev-
eral years ago. Her only sist?r,
Princess Margeret, . Is the wife of
Crown Prince Gufftavus Adolphus of
Sweden.
The Count of Turin is the son of
the unhappy Duke of Aosta, who was
once king of Spain, but abdicated,
and died about fifteen years ago.
The Count wf Turin is handsome and
a polished courtier, and his engage-
ment to this or that princess of Ku

"To be popular you must be cheer-

the jovial ones—those who can dispel
a cold, artificial social atmosphere by
a ringing and musical 'Ho! ha!'
