CHAUScEy NJ. DEPEw is the most delightful of
guests at public dinner, not only because he
is such good speaker. but also because he is
such fine listener. He fixes his gaze on the
man who is talking, and whenever a witty or
especially good thing is said he is always the
first to appreciate il. All the othsr diners take
their cue from his laughter or applause and fol-
low his leadership. His function at the dinner
table Is In short, that of the man who directs
the cheering at football or base ball game.
Mr. Depew's laugh is catching. 1t seems to
come right from his innermost self and spreads
over the whole of his countenance. To see him
laugh is almost as good as to hear him tell
story, and the speaker who causes him to show
signs OF appreciation is sure of widespread ap-
plause. Mr.. Depew is especially in his element
at the annual dinner Of the New York alumni of
Yale and an uninformed person who was pres
ent at the recent dinner would be in doubt
whether the occasion was in honor of Mr..
Depew or Of the alma mater of the guests.
