FUR COAT MAKES "DIPLOMAT"
"Rubberneck" Guide Heaps Unexpected Honor on Newspaper Correspondent.
Washington.-Hudson Hawley, formerly in the American expeditionary force and now a Washington correspondent, has an overcoat made of an Arizona wildcat skin. It has a marabou collar.
Small of stature and wearing a pointed, upturned mustache, Hawley has created a sensation in Washington with his striking civilian attire, but he just won recognition from a most unexpected source. Having been made Paris correspondent of a press association, he went to the French embassy to have his passport vised.
Hawley emerged from the main entrance of the embassy and drew the collar of his fur coat up around his cheeks just in time to hear the official barker on one of Washington's "rubberneck wagons" announce in stentorian tones to the load of tourists:
"You may now see the French ambassador leaving the official residence."
