FIRST IN PEACE AS IN WAR.
Admiral George Dewey's Tact. Wit and
Courtesy,

Every story that travels across the
Pacific about Admiral Dewey presents
the hero of Manila in a more attractive
guise and heighteRs the interest of
Americans in their beloved idol The
Oriental hotel IN Manila has long been
the favorite abiding place of the wives
of army and navy officers stationed
there. Naturally they have their little.
all-impOrtant set" in their eyes the
cream of ariStocracy This set has a
rigid outside; it does not include any
woman OF less ariSCOcratic position
than theirs, any woman whose money
is the result of her own honorable
labors. There was one of the latter
class of women staying at the Oriental
hotel during the months of the war
excitement, a Miss Thompson. who
was the correspondent of a syndicate
of American newspapers. She was a
woman of ability. She did her work
well and won the respect and esteem of
everyone who knew her; she was uni
versally liked, except by the officers
wives, who could not condescend to
know her. They made their attitude
pronounced they drew the social line
on whose safe inside they cOngrat-
ulated themselves upon being. Ad-
miral Dewey undoubtedly has a sense
of humOr as well as many other things
that go to make UP a capable officer

first. then a little grimly and iron
ically. when it came TO his ears that
the wives of his subordinates had en-
tered into a crushing social ring to
ostracize and persecute the newspaper
woman. Miss ThopmsOn had an unex-
pected visitor one day. Admiral Dewey
sent up his card. He paid long call.
He and Miss Thompson found much
that was interesting to talk about In
the enjoyment Of their talk they were
apparently oblivious that the rest Of
the Oriental hotel had gone mad. The
world had quite came to an end IN the
teapot district, with its self-righteous
ideas of the fitness Of things. The adj

They were made to appear in the
wrong. Perhaps it is better to draw
a veil over the subsequent wailing and
gnaShing of teeth, the tears and rage
OF the wOuld-be leaders of Manila So
ciety But Dewey was characteris-
tically relentless. He rubbed in the
lesson he had given. He asked Miss
Thompson if he might lunch with her
the next day. and again the whole
Oriental hotel knew it and was afiame.
The woman who had been Inundated
by the pettineSs of petty people was
honOred by a great man. And no one
can doubt that behind the iron COM
mander, with the eye of an eagle, the
brain OF lightning and the will Of steel.
