HT II. SIBBOLD tells a story about
" a banquet that was held at
the Alexandria. Rather, 1t Is
about a family, the members of whlch
have been friends of Sibbold's for
long time. The family, which Is com
posed of the father, mother and beau
tiful young daughter, were invited TO
the banquet. The daughter bad not
seen much of society, and the mother
objected to her going to the affair.
shes too young to appear at the ta-
BILE; she's not out of school yet she
said
But the father was sure that 1T helped
girls to be thrown with older people.
She'll get new IDEAS" he said.
And she got them. At the dinner she
sat next to an army officer who had
lived quickly if not long
do you see the woman across the
table with the naughty stare?" he
asked.
1.-THE one with pearls in her hair?"
asked the girl.
Eyes. She's my mother-in-law."
"Oh!" said the girl. She wondered
if the man liked her.
She doesn't like me-"
"Oh, | guess she does" said the girl,
politely.
"She doesn't: she dislikes me i'm
mensely,' said the army man.
The girl was embarrassed. The con-
versation was too confidential, she
thought.
Are you shocked?"
Il don't know" she said, but feeling
very much 50.
IT'S hard luck to have to sit where
she can watch me"
why should she do that?" asked the
girl.
She wants to see if am making love
to you,' he murmured.
The girls face turned very red and
she felt queer. She did not know that
there was anybody in the world who
could talk as this man was talking.
Have 1 offended you?" he asked,
softly
The girl wasn't sure.
MY mother-in-law thinks right now
that L am planning to elope. What
luck do you think I'd have?' he Whls-
pered.
And this was the beginning of other
ideas for the girl.
Everything is all mussed up down at
the Lankershim on account of some
work they are getting ready to do IN
the way of redecoratiOn on the entire
lower floor. A late European idea in
interior effects is to be carried out IN
the finishing of the lobby and office
The idea is said to have been very
popular across the damp in the build
ing of new hotels during the past four
or FIVE months. 1t is to be seen no.
where in America at present, and 1t Is
said that the job will cost the Lanker-
SHIN quite a number of board bills, the
with bath" kind.
The dining room is to be rearranged
uniouely after the Swiss hotels. A
panel effect with elaborate tapestries
is to be used in the lobby. New tele-
phone booths have already been in
stalled, and work in the engine room Is
now in progress.

PHEASANTS IN BUTCHER SHOP
Proprietor Freed, While Red Winged
BIackbiris Cost Another S1,560

Three pheasants. which hung in the
butcher shop of David Rothschild. at No. n
Amsterdam avenue, caused much trouble
yesterday for several persons. including the
butcher Mrs. S. B. Solomon, who owned
the birds and Louis Ullman. q retired
merchant. who shot them. All were in the
Supreme Court. where the State Forest,
Fish and Game Commissioner sought to
have a fine of s135 imposed on Rothschild
for having the birds in his possession out
of the legal season.
It developed that Mrs. Solomon sent the
pheasants to the butcher TO have them
prepared for the oven. Rothschild said on
the stand that he had never seen any
rheasants before Mrs. Solomon sent hers
to his place, and he thought they were a
species of goose or turkey. The jury de-
cided in his favor.
The Seventh Avenue Meat and Provision
Company. of No. 291 Seventh avenue, was
also a defendant in the Supreme Court on
the charge of having in its possession out

"DRkWBACK" CLAIMS SMALL
Impossible for Government to Have
Lost Millions, Says Wise.

Henry A. Wise. United States Attorney.
said yesterday there was some misappre-
hension about the extent of the draw
back suits which the government was
about to bring against sugar companies
which had been exporting sugar products
These companies are entitled to a draw
back of the duty paid on raw sugar on
all exports of manufactures of the raw
material.
The total exports OF sugar products
from the whole United States are not above
100000 in any year. said Mr.. Wise, $50 it
is ridiculous to say that the government
has lost millions in the payment of such
drawbacks, which are made up Of the duty
paid on sugar used in such products, less
per cent
1t is understood that negotiations are
pending for settlement by the COM
panies involved. and that the whole claim
Of the government is relatively small
