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.
