By cable to The Star and New York World. PARIS, November 17.—The silk hat being the symbol of officlal pomp and of respect for authority in republican France, the undersecretary of state, Maitre de Moro Gaffieri, who defend- ed the French Bluebeard, Landru, was dismayed the other morning while walting to recetve President Doumer- gue at the Salon of Household Arts. He discovered all at once that though he had put on his best morning coat and was wearing patent leather shoes, he had absentmindedly left home in a bowler hat instead of the regulation topper. “You're in a nicesfix now,” unfeel- ingly ejaculated a ministerial col- league who happened to be at the salon in a private capacity. Ten minutes later President Dou- mergue arrived. Maitre de Moro Gaf- fierl bowed low before him, with all his natural elegance of manner su- perimposed on the requirements of official etiquette. His colleague, who had rejoined the group, with a sneak- ing desire to enjoy the undersecre- tary’s discomfiture, was amazed to see a magnificent shiny silk hat in Moro Gaffieri’s hand. The visit to the exhibition began, the President of the republic keeping his head covered. But after a few minutes, noticing that his ministerial guide remained bareheaded, he con- siderately had him put his hat on. The undersecretary bowed, but still kept his hat in his hand. Doumergue waxed Imsistent. “If you persist in remaining bareheaded,” he explained, “I shall have to imitate you.” Where- upon Moro Gaffieri whispered in the President's ear, “I can’t. This hat was loaned to me a few minutes ago and it's too small for me.” (Copyright, 1024.) e — John T. Timmons, Charles L. Sterns, Samuel Talilzi, Charles F. Widmayer, Hunter W. West, Charles K.
