F1aa. Locker. of Big Hote.s.

Nowadays the flag lockers" OF the
big hotels are almost as important az
are the same receptacles on seagoine
vessels. In addition to a supply Of the
national emblems to fly on all thu
stats on the roof and the one that pro
srudes from the main entrance, eacf
hotel usually keeps in its flag locker
a fairly complete set Of flags Of thu
great Powers, that they may be ready
at hand when some dignftary Of one Of
those countries stops at the hotel
These lockers are always in charge Of
one man, who is responsible for seeinj
that the iags are hoisted and lowered
at the proper time.
Naturally every hotel, even the bill
ones. does not keep the flag Of evert
nation in it's locker. and when an emil
nent parsonage comes from one Of thl
smaller States the man in charge q
the flags HES him to a decorator AMI
rents the desired flag for as long as til
necessity lasts.-New York Press.
