A SOCIAL DILEMMA.


An old custom, now obsolete, in the
commercial hotels of England is de
scribed In the Memoirs of Sir Wemyss
Reid" Dinner was then served at /
o'clock for the commercial travellers
and the youngest man present was ex-
pected to act as president and to per-
form the conventional duties. On one
occasion Mr.. Reid, then a young man,
arrived In the town of. Preston. He
did not know a soul, but was directed
to an inn, which he reached just as the
/ o'clock dinner was being served.
The cofee-room, when l entered 1t,
was filled by commercial travellers. all
lowering with hungry looks round the
table that had been laid for dinner.
They seemed relieved when I, as shy q
youth as could anywhere be found. en-
tered the room.
Instantly they seated themselves at
the table. looked round for some cor
ner in which l might hide myself from
what seemed to me to be their almost
ferocious gaze, and was filled with
alarm when I found that the only seat
left vacant was that at the head Of the
table. A waitress approached me.
"You are president Of the day, SIR
she said, and motioneG me to the va
cant seat at the head of the board.
I do not think l was ever more mis-
cradle or more frightened in my life
than when, under her imperious direc-
ton, l took my seat and met the gaze
of a dozen hungry men. On the side
board stood the soup-tureens, the wait
ing-maids beside them, but not a cover
was lifted or a motion made, and dead
silence filed the room. 1 sat in blush
ing bewilderment, waiting for the din
ner to be served.
Suddenly, from the other end Of the
table, harsh voice issued from the lips
Of a burly, red-faced man:
''ATr President, if you are a Chris
tan you'll perhaps be good enough to
say grace, and let us get to our dinner,
which we want very badly"

mula of my childhood. But 1 was in
