cold chill lest some OF the people invited
to little suppers and receptions at the

dents secretary against any such an
noyances it 10 his custom to call in such
Of the invited guests as he may have
doubts about and rehearse them. On
these occasions he is said to give them

gentlemen might come TO these evening
