L1 b Tales of Well In Social and Official Life Christmas Will Be Celebrated in Embassies and Legations According to Customs of Their Countries. BY MARGARE B. DOWNIN From the White House to the simple homes of the people a turkey will be the chief feature of the Christmas dinner and cranberry fauce and mince ple will be among the good things prepared. But though that charming adjunct to the social body, the diplo- matic corps, in some instances takes over the locdl prandial ideas, many Christmas boards will be adorned with roast goose and others will cling to the old fashion of a tender young plg stuffed with savory things and roasted to a delightful brown. All of the north of Europe legations have long ago selected their goose and it is cooked with great ceremony and ac- cording to the traditional recipes. Christmas dinner in the Polish lega- tion s served on Christmas eve, and, that being a solemn fast day, the principal dish will be a great fish, surrounded by all the mea dainties which the Washington markets pro- vide. This same custom will hold in the Czechoslovakian legation, and the minister in each establishment will have his entire staff, even the | youngest members, at the board. If Mr. Idgar Prochnik, charge d'affaire of ‘Austria, were in Vienna a great boar's head would be the chief dish. It would be carried In smoking hot rved at the table. Baron von Hengelmuller invariably had a boar's ent him for the dinner, and when he and the baroness presided over the embassy of Francls Joseph they had their feast on Christmas eve. The many Latin American nations have turkey and the accepted menu, but they pine for their dellclous fruits and green vegetables and find this sort of thing rather heavy. In the Panamanian legation there will be joy unconfined because some melons and fruits of many varicties all unknown here have arrived in 5ood shape and will glve a touch of home to the banquet. There are many national dishes served in ¥rance on this_solemn Christian feast and Mme. Jusserand, who was born In Paris and lived there all her vounger years, does not neglect any of the traditions. The staff of the ambassador becomes part of the | household on that day, and such a dinner is served as all can recall from their early childhood. If the Italians could get the fine fat eels which are so prevalent in their country, they would make a basis of the Christmas eve feast which they L. But January s the day celebrate, and any notics | which the ambassador and his staff | take of December is only in defer- to local customs. The non- Christian envoys observe the day in all its traditional aspects and the roungsters in the Japanese and Chi- nese households give and receive gifts and participate in the fun pro- vided for their small American play- mates. The Perslan minister and the | Stamese minister entertain their re- “|spective staffs and their friends at regulation American dinners. Those who were privileged to see the diplomatic corps on the occasions in which it was recently nnot but note that it is rd less colorful than in war 3 ¥ hen the splendor )f Count” von Bernstorff is r and contrasted with the simpl adorned appearance of the presen ierman ambassador, Dr. Otto Wied- dt, one p ©f the changes through which the world is passing becomes evident. Then the amtb dor from Austro-Hungary was the most _resplendent of all diplomats, who bowed before the Chief Maglis- trate and his lady prior to Dr. The charge d'affaires of Austria wears regulation evening ratment and with no_dis- tinctive features at all. All of the new republies of northern Lurope Your several | THE SUNDAY STAR Known Folk | sdain court costumes and the frill- | ings of the past It may be that} their rulers have been too busy with more serious problems to select a diplomatic uniform for their repre- sentatives, bue no longer is the American 'envoy and his staff con- Spicuous In somber evening clothes at international evening gatherings. He has lots of company nowadays. The Latin _American republics about ff- teen years ago adopted 'a similar gold braided evening suit for their diplomatic representatives, that of an ambassador differing somewhat from that of a minister and the staff, after the way military authorities designate the higher grades by stripes and chevrons. But these diplomats noting the trend of events in the world, are not unanimous in adhering to ‘their embroidered and be-frilled uniforms, and another five years may see all of the western world discard court paraphernalia in its most remote form. One of the pet ideas of M rand, the French ambassador, that handsome new embassy he s soon to erect is in readines possibly a yvear distant, is to line the corridors with fine portraits of all the envoys France has sent to this natfon since Chevalier de la Lucerne presented his credentials to the Con- tinental Congress in 1779. If he se- lects portraits of these diplomats in state garb it will present an excel lent idea of how the nations are slow- Iy ®oing toward simplicity and Plainer living. The French ambassa- dor wears on ceremonial oocasions garments which look gorgeous and stately in the present diplomatic geant, but contrasted with the gran- deur of M. de_la Lu ne, from the court of Louis XVI, he ould be sub. merged. The many Napolconic anvoys in Washington were more ornate even than those from the HBourbon kings and the ministers whom France sent under the Third Emplre belleved in &0ld embroidery and lace. It will be a most interesting collection, 1f M. Jusserand is able to collect it in en- tirety. A slmilar exhibit adorns the American embassy in London, where the portrait of every minister and latterly of every ambassador from Thomas Pinckney to Col. George Har- vey.may be admired by visitors, who are ‘left in the corridors awaiting thelr reception Jusse- when which co m, jat tei A popular young diplomat who will spend a few days of his leave of absence in Washington is Mr. Foster Stearns, son of Mr. Frank W. Stearns of Boston, President Coolldge's inti- mate friend. Mr. Stearns, jr., is now third secretary of the Americap em bassy in_ Paris. He has held th position less than a year, but has been in the foreign service of this government for about three years and was for a time stationed in the Bal- ans. Mr. Stearns studied at Amherst with the idea of devoting himself to teaching, but he accepted the posi- tion as state librarlan of Massachu- setts and was holding that post when President Coolidge was movernor of the state. He was naturally ver helpful to the chief executive of the old Bay state and indeed to ev: other person who sought to use the | archives, so that departura into the field of diploma s deeply re- gretted. The staff of Mr. Herrick in Parls has been very materially re- duced in the past year and some more lopping off of honorary attaches and special observers is anticipated. But the third secretary, who is a linguist and a diligent student, need not-fear removal even if he wera not so firmly | entrenched in the affections of the | President. He came to this country | earl m Dl il in the month and will remalin | until January 15.
