IN HER NIGHTGOWN.
A Blight Lingual Mistake Made by
the Gaatemnalan Minister at
Washington,
It Is undeniable that forelen dinlo-
mats in Washington frequently find
themselves at a loss, owing to the nov.
elties presented to them by American
customs. Even the language offers dif-
fleuition,

minister was sp
ington ladies of what he regarded ns an
remarkable social experience met with |
here at a reception at the capital. He
had been invited to an afternoon recep-
tion,
“And do you know,” he sald, “the
hostess received the guests in a night.
gown!"
“(iood heavens!” replied the ladies to
whom this information was addressed.
“Surely you ave joking, Mr. Minister.”
“Not at all, T assure you,” reiterated
the diplomat. “It was in her night dress
that we were received—low neck and
bare arms!”
"Oh, you mean evening dress, do yon
not, Mr, Minister?" suggested one of
the ladies,
“Yeu, that is what I mean,” admitted
Benor Arriaga; “low neck nnd bare
arms, just like the costume for the op
era or ball"
Asn mony be imagined, the laugh was
at the ministér's expense. In Wash.
Ington Indies quite commonly wear
evening dress when giving afternoon
receptions. ~Noston Herald,
