SNoBBERY rules at Washington,
and society's regulations are force
full and inflexible: the ''first lady"
must not be preceded at receptions
and other functions by one OF
lesser degree, and woe be unto her
who presumes beyond her ap-
pointed place. The Director OF
Ceremonies is an important func-
tionary. His word is law and
from his decision there is no ap-
peal. The courts of royalty give
him precedent which he applies sc
far as gutter-blood may ape the
ways of the blue. But it is no
