A London club, the Bartholomew,
gave its annual banquet the other day.
The postprandial orators were con-

had reached the oratorical stage little
books were distributed among the.
guests and in these booklets we're
printed the speeches of the gentle
men who had accepted invitations to
respond to toasts. London Truth says
this banquet was an epoch-making af-
fair. 1t was certainly unique one
and not unworthy of imitation on this

new club of London has established
q precedent which ought not to be
ignored in the United States because
of its English origin. The banquet
is entitled to some consideration and
should be protected when the after
