not at home. The lady took offense at

Defending themselves against the
charge Of snobbery the Naval Academy
authorities assert that there are plenty
of instances In connection with the
academy dances where young ladies In
the humblest wslks Of life were received
cordially on the dancing floor and given
the fullest consideration in the pleasures
Of the occasion. Since the reprimand OF
Midshipman Burtis. the Inhabitants Of
Annapolis have been busy citing these
occurrences. They have recalled the In
stance Of young girl, who. after the
death Of her father, a naval ofncer. sup
ported herself In various ways. and was
for q while the attendant Of some chill
dren. Her position was exactly similar to
that OF Miss Beers. yet the young lady
not only attended the hops. but was re-
ceived by the young women In the
Academy circle, who took pleasure In
contributing to her happiness.

her rescue.
Introductions were given freely, and
gradually 1t became known that Miss
Beers ate at the Tarrant family table
and was known as one OF tho members OF
the household. A few Of the wives OF
naval officers found her a charming COM

She was all unconscious Of the fact that
she had been the subject of unfavor-
able comment in Official circles within
the gray wall boundary across the street,
nor did she know that the young man
who had accompanied her to the We'd
nesday hop was writhing under the cruel
charge that he had broken an unwritten
rule of the Academy. The story Of Miss
Beers le0fng, in fact, goes into an
other interesting channel and has no
connection with the circumstances aris-
ing from the Wednesday hop. as might
be inferred fSom q perusal OF the
report of Supt. Bowyer, sent to Secre-
tray Meyer. and afterwards transmitted
TO Representative Korbly. According to
a reliable account, 1t was plain matter
Of administration in the Tarrant family
which started the young lady on for
home.
Eventually there were regrets express
ed on all sides and pardons were Sought.
Miss Beers, however. was weary Of the
lot she had chosen. SO she resigned and
went away. Several days after her de-
parture. the story Of the hop and the
declaration Of Supt. Bowyer regarding
the propriety Of inviting nufsemaids to
Academy affairs was given to the public
