The cockade in present use, not only in England but abroad--excepting the | United States—is a distinction of of- fice rather than of title, inasmuch as it is a headdress which can legally be worn only by servants of royalty, in eluding naval and military officers, diplomatists and the lieutenants, dep uty-lieutenants and high sberiffx of counties. As worn by these its color is black, and its Introduction to Eng- land fp this form is due to the Mouse | # | of Hanover, but cockades of various | colors have heen known in England Jonig before that time. Under Charles 1. there was a scarlet cockade, but | under his son the color wis changed to white, and this became the badge | : | of the Jacobites, or adherents of the | Pretender, while the orange was that | of William of Orange. Al this time * | the cockade, White or Bisck, wis meres Jy used By soldiers to denote thelr specific zllegiance. Orange is still the color in Holland, while other Eure pean tations adopt a large variety of unex. as is ghiown ekpecially ln the streeia of London, in the foreign liv. eries of carriage attendanbs, namely, black spd white for Germany, black and yellow for Austria, the tricolor for France scarlet for Spain, blue and | white for Portugal, and black, red snd yellow for Belgiumn., The word OF enckade was burrowed from the French cacarde, having originally been applied fo the plumes of cock’s feath: vrs worn by CUrpatlan soldiers serving in the Frepeh srioy.
