highly developed that they enjoy inces-

II the celebrity has any constituencies
the thing must OftC2 grow tiresoIuA as
De Wet finds II.
The fact is that the lot Of the hero"
Is not always enyiable. The average
celebrity doubtless finds Il pleasant to
be the guest Of honor al an occasional
banquet But frequently a long series
OF dinners Is forced upon him with the
Inevitable accompaniment Of endless
speeches, against which Prince Henry
made his half despairinE protest. Be
sides, the people he meets on his tours
too often make his achievements the
sole topic OF conversation. The popu-
lar novelist Of the day may enjoy dis
cussing his books occasionally with per
sons OF discrimination, bat he can hard
~ find pleasure in the perfunctory ad-
miration which every second person TO
whom he is introduced finds Il neces-
sary TO express for his work
The receptions and dinners to the hero
or celebrity are practically q necessity.
They are about the only way people
have Of showing him their appreciation.

ANCIENT TAVERN CUSTOMS.
Some Of Them Still Observed in Lon
don's Famous Inns.

London Nail
The spirit Of change which has lowered
over London the past few years, de-
stroying the old and setting Up the new,
has left untampered few customs that
serve 20 remind the interested Of DAYS
when giants lived in London.

The hand Of the proprietor himself

Then there are various spices and gravies

process takes about sixteen to twenty
hours
But II is not in the making or eating
OF the pudding that any old practice
survives-though fl might be argued that
one Of these operations antedates the
manner OF its serving.
Fitting ceremonial attends the appear
ance Of the pudding in the dining room.
The head waiter. with stately step, bears

all the other walters in single file. the
proprietor himself bringing up the rear.
Only a man OF exceptional trustworthi-
ness and proved fidelity is allowed to

garded as a position in which tempta-
ton is ever before the man who occu-
pies f. The pudding-which weighs
about eighty pounds-is directly under
his nose, and the delicious steam IS
waited into his face as he marches
along. What if some day he should be
very hungry, and succumb to the
temptation. If the head waiter at the
cheese" were not there survive quaint
old customs which were observed In the
same place a hundred or more years ago.

DEFEATED VILLA NOVA.
A Rather Difficult Task for the George

Georgetown, with one or two regular
players relieved by substitutes found the
| Villa Nova team very hard to beat yester-
day afternoon. The final score-5 to 3-tells
only half the story. From the end of the
first inning onward the local men found
the visitors at least their equals from all
points of view. and the two runs in that
inning were due to an error in the center
field. a sacrifice and a very timely hit by
Capt. Moran. There was much hitting on
both sides, but the game was like the two
