"Well you see, sir, said a rather pref

customers by what they ask for sir. What
/ mean is that if any one comes in and
asks for number we know he is a com
mercial' and charge him two and six. On
the other hand, if he asks for bed we
know he is business man or profess
sional man, and the charge is three and
six, but if he asks, as you did, for a bed
room, we know he belongs to the gentry,
and we charge him accordingly"
Exactly, replied. so you charged
me accordingly"

country hotels or inns i'm England every
one was classified, as in everything else
English, into three classes. So firmly is
this three class business imbedded in the
British mind that there are even three dis

first, second and third. In this case, how
ever, you are not left to the Judgment of
the clerk or superintendent in charge, but
classified according to the rent of your

must die first class and pay first class

THE QUEEN OF SOCIETY.
Mrs. Bradley-Nartin Called Upon
to Face the Question

to Face the Question.
Who is the first lady in society, says a
New York correspondent, has probably
been settled foI all time by the choice of a
leader for the Bradle y Ma rtin ball That
the wife of the President is the first lady
in the land, is accepted, and goes to show
what a Democratic country this is: but
who is the first lady of the "40O?"is the
burning question now probably decided at
last.
1t has often been asked whether one
belonging to the olonial Danes, or
Daughters OF the Revolution, ranks so-
Cially higher than one who could trace
her ancestry back to one Of the many
sweethearts OF the second Charles. This
nice question has been adjusted hereto
fore by first choosing one, then another,
TO take precedence at events within the
"400,'' but the issue had to come. Mrs.
ogden Mills, confident of rank without
rival, has just called on Mrs. Bradley
Martin.
"Oh, my dear" she said, "I have ar
ranged such a beautiful quadrllle, and OF
course expect to lead.''
Mrs. Martin paled at this, but stammered
she had given the honor to Mrs. Frederick
Bronson.
Am not always first?" severely asked

Ogden Mills. 'I shall not attend

NEW THINGS ATTHETHEATERs

Nat IioOdwin's return to Washington was
made a jubilant welcome at the New Ma
tionaI last night 1t was his first appear
ance in the East-that is, east Of the Al
Iexhany Mountains his experimental
excursion to Australia, and from the ex-
pressions OF his speech and the demonstra-
tions OF his auditors the satisfaction over
the popular prodigal was mutual. A packed
house greeted him as he entered, and in it
were many friends who bad come from
Boston and New York TO greet him.
He presented a play by Madelaine Lucette
Ryley, who wrote The Butterflies for
John Drew. It is better piece than that
ambitious and measurably satisfactory eff
fort. It has the higil-soHnding title An
American Citizen which is no. at all sug-
gestive OF the spirit of broad comedy in
which the predicameat of the un-American
citizen is treated. She works out good
play, effective in result, but domiBantly
excellent in the wit OF its lines. Every
line is a laugh, without PausinS to analyze
the proportion OF the Indebtedness between
players and playmaker. Such lines as Mrs.
RyIey has written would save any play,
but fortunately she developed plot which
might have carried much weaker lines. MIR.
Goodwin has in the title part 3 cOngenisl
role OF unconventional naturalness. He is
working al cross purposes most OF the time,
and alludes to the drinks as often as posi-
Bile, and the result has an intoxicating et-
feet on everyone before him.
Nat returns to us fresh and infectious as
ever, an unexCeHed comedian, more Sc
cure in his methods nd more magnetic than
when he has been struggling with more
ambitious efforts, which you may take, II
you choose, as a pun on Carleton S play OF
last year.

the corridor OF Stanwix Hall he suffered
it to remain without protest

Mr. Elliott said his canvass was not a
very active one. lie thought he had done
good work FOR the league and he was con-
fident the delegates would by their votes
express their confidence in him. He pre-
ferred not TO give any estimate of his
strength, in advance He thought the ses-
