Formal and Informal dinners. private

of the present day. Public dining as an
art is being cultivated in the metropolis to
the exclusion OF many other forms of en-
tertainments, All Of New York's modern
hotels have recognized the growth and ex-
tension of this latest society fad. and have
catered to 1t most literally. Grand cere-
monial banqueting halls and exquisite pri-

all the newer public houses-and these in
addition TO the main public dining rooms.
No other hotel in New York. however, has
gone into this subject with the thorough

Frank B. Kellogg, 1.-THE government here

Mr.. Milburn also, as a simile, compared
the Standard to the human body, with its
many ramifications. corresponding to the

'"To dismantle this. corporation would be
to strike it dead. II is like the organism of

to the other that to separate them would
be to dlsmember and destroy it." he said.
Instead Of being a menace to the indie
pendent refiners, Mr.. Milburn declared, the
Standard had always led the way and
blazed the trail In the oil world, and that
the independents had but to follow. as they
had always done. The Standard lawyer also
insisted that under the constitution, a man
had the right to sell anything he pos
sessed. If he but had a man willing to
buy and pay his price.
