but Under Wrong Name.
AN ERROR OF THE TYPES
Mrs. J. Borden Hartman, Miss
Anne Morgan and Miss Eliz-
abeth Marbury of Party.

Apparently, It shall no. be said when

velt President, Is over that any OF the
ilk OF Hartman broke food on White
House tables after the period when the
AnGn!as Club came into life.
Mrs. j, Borden Hartman. who had
lunch with the President last Tuesday
In company with Miss Anne Morgan.
daughter Of ]. Plerpant Morgan and
Miss Elizabeth Marbury, a Broadway
play broker, is the latest Of tie lia.ri-
mans to run afoul OF the Presidential
anxiety lest Harr!mans name be
found on guest list In later years.
Mrs. Hartman Is conspicuous mem
Der Of the Colony Club, Madison avenue
and Thirteth street, a prime mover In
the campaign of the tuberculosis clinics
and prominent as a member Of the DR..

Name Put on the List.
The majordo after receiving the!
cards consulted the list OF invited guests
He looked sort OF perplexed at Mrs. Har-
r!man and said sorrowfully:
I'm so sorry, really, but-your name
doesn't appear on the ist"'
Mrs. Hartman turned deep crimson,
but quickly rallied and replied:
why. that's most extraordinary
Are you quite positive?'
The official busted himself going
over the list again. Meantime Mrs
Hartman consulted her friends Miss
Morgan and Miss Marbury. All three
were for adjourning to an antecham-
Der until the apparent error should be
corrected or explained, when the majo
domo interrupted:

White House list but we have a Mrs.
J. b. Harrison, OF New York City, here,
see"
In the party of Miss Morgan and
Miss Marbury. take IT." said Mrs,
Hartman.
A nod showed she had guessed cor
rectly.
Apologies were then hastily made by
the major omo, a remark interjectcd
about typographical mistakes and the
three guests were escorted into the in
ncr chambers.
A Hartman at Presidents Table
ITO think" remarked Mrs. Hartman,
as the three were being ushered in,
that | have to masquerade under the
name OF Harrison. Sh sh! Possibly It
wouldn't do to have It become known
that Hartman was lunching under
the White House roof"
Yes! We had lunch at the White
House" said Mrs. Hartman to-day.
our trip had nothing to do with the
Colony Club or the McCosh Memorial
Acknowledgements visit, don't you know,
to Washington. Now there, You shan't
know anything about the luncheon.
Any little Inconvenience was explained,
and surely any one is Liable to make
type graphical! error, Isn't he? There,
now. don't ask me any more"
Mss Morgan said to-day that she en-
joyed the trip immensely, and the lunch
at the White House was exquisite. She
smilingly refused to discuss the incident
Of Mrs HarrIman's name.
Suppose you ask Miss Marbury
about the little lunch and the-other
incident" suggested Miss Morgan.
She enjoyed It most"
Miss Maybury Is a business woman
with an office at No. li3D broadway
She has laughIngly spoken OF the oc.
currcnce and joked about the White
House anxiety lest one bearing the
name OF the capitalist mentioned as
belonging to the legion OF malefactors
OF great wealth should 81, at The
Roosevelt table by stealth or through
the connivance OF friends.
