New York Letter in Baltimore Sun.
Five Boston ladies who cam on for the
anniversary breakfast of the Sorosis last
Monday had queer experiment with one
OF New York queer social customs. They
wand cred out to sec the sights and do
some shopping. In the evening, lust at
dusk, tired out by the days gadding,
they concluded they would drop into
Deimoulco's Fifth avenue restaurant for
rest and refreshment. To their horror
and amazement they We're met at the

tality this mandate was inexplicable. In
d1gnation and remonstrance was of no
avail. The rule has never been broken.
so they had TO wander off where the
customs are not immutable in their
stringency against unescorted females.
Another rule that Delmonico never
breaks is that at meals served in the pri-
Vate rooms, of which there are a number
where women are present a waiter must

debt of honor, and it is said that during
the long and successful career of the

Dean H. Martyn Hart Of Denver. Col, has
broken out again In The Churchman." this
time 10 urge upon Congress the enactment Of
the law Of the 1.-THE He makes this suggestion
not merely because he believes that a 10 per
cent income tax Is in itself desirable though
doubtless lie does SO believe. but because he
considers it Il law imposed by God upon all
men for all time. There is IA freshness about
the good Deans exposition Of this point that is
only equallcd by the freshness of the Dean him
self lie declares that the philosophers and
scientists are plainly "stumpcd" by the present
social conditions But the Dean says In his large
offhand way that we cam do without the guild
ancc Of these learned gentlemen. And Of course
we can; for. though modesly prevents him from
mentioning the fact, have We not the Dean OF
Denver. OF whom ii may be said without eXag-
gcraton that he knows a little Of everything.
including theology The Swans are silent when
we intcrrogatc them rs 10 Il short cut TO the
Millennium; even Eery Anderson fails us on
that amportant matter Like the poor. how
ever. Dean Hart Is always with us, and, like
the poor also. is always ready 10 suggest ways
in which other people shall spend their money
But We must hasten 10 give some of the points
Of the Deans unique argument To begin with.
the tithc is "A Divine law: for not only the Bible
but the Dean says so. The first sin of Cain was
not the murder of Abel but Il failure to pay
the Divine income tax Of 10 per cent More
over the Jews paid not merely tilhcs, but really
about one-third Of their Income, which strikes
us as proving little too much. But waiving
that point the Deans argument Is that be-
cause God imposed n 1.-THE on the Jews He I'M
poses it ON all mankind. There is something
delightfully."- Ilarcrian about this argument mat
gives II unique place In the science or pollti-
cal economy. II would never have occurred 10
the grovclling Swans, of whom the Dean speaks
so contcmptuously And we venture to think
that many Of the Deans clerical brethren Will
nippanty designate II as rot. But II they
think thus To discourage the Dean, they will
find themselves mistaken. So long rs THE
Churchman' gives him show he will continue
To lucubrate, 10 the delight of many. and. we
may add to the delight Of The Tribune also
To those who might ask who should preside
over the disbursement Of this enormous fund.
the Dean Is ready with an answer Not the
politicians, he saws, nor an elective board. but,
i'm accordance with the rulings Of the Bible
Tithc Board Of the ministers Of rcgon-pre-
sumaby Episcopaans. This Board would
make everybody happy by giving to each his
share II the tihc and the Millennium would
soon begin To loom in the horzpn. The mem
bers of this Board would be chosen. though by
whom Is not stated, and. Of course for that
reason would be- absolutely honest How en-
trancng the picture, And how unfortunate
that II should BE- somewhat marrcd by memo
ries Of the man of Kerioth, who bore the com
mon purse In the Apostolic College.
But, as the Dean says, 'al this Is a matter
Of detail Let TIE working classes" he con-
