Cost Ambassador Harvey $8,000 to Give. One Dinner to Royalty. WASHINGTON. Aucr.' 8 The pomp of European courts has not de creased noticeably since the war, ac cording to reports of American dip lomats lo the htute Department. American ambassadors are continu ing their complaints of inadequate salaries to meet the heavy drain of social entertainment, and are citing post-war troubles of entertaining royalty at functions which equal or surpass the gilded affairs of pre war days in Europe. For instance, the stato dinner Riv en recently by George Harvey, American Ambassador to the Court of St, James, to the British royal family set back the American en voy something over $8,000 for one dinner and trimmings. In fact, the trimmings constituted a large part of the bill, which contained an item of $750 alone for palms and ferns given standing room in the fire places of the American embassy for the occasion. Tradesmen holding the royal favor have to be reckoned with in the en tertainment provided by American diplomats. The Caterers are virtu ally chosen for the American enter tainer by the lord chamberlain of the royul palace, no unknown or plebeian chefs being permitted to cook for or servo the .king or queen. Decorators,- florists and a train of other, tradesmen having the royal ap proval also must be selected by the American host and their word, as well as their bills, go a long way in directing the function. hntertninmcut occasionally of the rulers of the nations to which thev are accredited Is an lnoMc:i.Kl)le duty iof American dinlonvils. wlo aro nro- vided with no cnto;l.llliment fund to DIMITS Pit TD HONOR KINGS cover the costs ot iood and service-.
