E SOCIAL TANGLE.

Probably never in the history of social diplomacy in which the head %
the nation has been involved has there been such a tangle Of etiquette, and
to sy that the omcers Of the Seawanhaka-Co rinthian Yacht Club III houn
dering in a maze of misunderstanding is to put it mildly indeed. The shJ
of the whole affair Is related in the various explanations and counter-ex-
plantations of those who have been managing o mismanag1ng the preHni-
nanes to the banquet reads like o WeberFieds burhsque.
Mr.. Roosevelt was to be guest Of honor. Immediately after this an
became public officers of the club stated that Sir Thomas Lip
ton had also been invited to attend the banquet and that the distinguished
KNIGHT val also to have a seat Of honor. Preparations for the banquet
went forward rapidly and invitations were eagerly sought in the highest
of social circles
The Board of Trustees Of the Yacht Club decided to have a banquet
in honor of somebody. The first new of the proposed banquet came with
the announcement. that an invitation had been extended to President Roose-
yMt together with a request that he name the time to suit his convenience.
He named Sept Is. #
Then a extraordinary thing happened. William Loeb. Secretary "a
the President, wrote to Mr.. Colgate Hoyt. declaring that neither Sir Thomas
Upton any member of his party must com to the dinner. Mr.. Loeb
thereupon began the explaining" $50
He said that Is Sir Thomas had recently been received IS q guest o.
the Presidents yacht Mayfower during the naval manoeuvres at Oyster
Bay. the President thought II would be spreading OF the courtesiss too
to allow him to bak in the radiance OF his presence at the comine
banquet. 1888

BEGAN TO EXPLAIN.

Members of the Committee of Arrangements we're astounded. Their
wits we're still at random when they were asked to explain. They made .
brave attempt, with the following ludTous result: a tx
Francis c. Stewart, the Yacht Club secretary-rs all my fault You
see I invited Sir Thomas last Friday night. ! did MOI know Mr.. Hoyt had
promised President Roosevelt not to have any other honorary guests at the
banquet. 4

Not a thing in It, OF course W q do moi want any other guest Of honor. Wo
never thought Of having any others The name OF Sir Thomas was never
mentioned. Sir Thomas has not been invited. W
Secretary Loeb then made his first Official explanation. He said: /.

Mr.. Hoyt assured m e that invitation had been issued. Upon
my own responsibility I informed Mr. Hoyt that If Sir Thomas was to be
the President would probably decline the invitation" gas
