Social gatherings at the hotel were held
far aloof from the political and diplomatic
conferences. While diplomacy was being
settled in the cafe the suhrasists were
perhaps busy discussing their grievances
in the parlor or conference rooms set
aside for women. 1t is not unlikely that
at the same time the Daughters of the
American Revolution were holding a
meeting in the rooms of Mrs. Scott, their
president. in another part OF the house.

Some of the sumptuous banquets which
have been given at the hotel have long
been remembered. One is the banquet
given by Andrew Carnegie to the delegates
of the International American Congress in
March. 1890 1t is said that the splendor
of this banquet had much to do with
starting the American countries on the
road of progress toward better under
standing. Every zone and cline was
ransacked for luxuries. The feast is
said to have excelled that feast of Luz
cullus in his villa at Tusculum. historic

Mr.. Morgan on one of his visits here
said he would only continue to make the
Arlington his headquarters when in
Washington, provided he could have his
suite of rooms exactly duplicated in the
new building-same furniture, same
paintings, same everything-otherwise he
would prefer to go somewhere else
On this same unofficial list of guests
at the Arlington were the Astors, the
Vanderbilts and other well known New
York people.
Practically all the Presidents stopped
at the Arlington for their inauguration
from 1870 up to President Mckinley $

ing the first year he was in Washington.
During the last political campaign when
campaigning he met a friend from
Washington and said inquiringly:

1t was at the Arlington that Senator
Root made his home when he first came
to Washington. Senator Aldrich, when
he came to Washington, used to slip
quietly into the Arlington. Oscar w.
Underwood, democratic leader OF the
House, lived there.
In the old days the Arlington was the
headquarters for the republican national
committee. The hotel was the great con-
ference ground for politicians. a distinc-
ton which 1t retains TO this day, although
the conferences of late years have had
more of a foreign and diplomatic than a
political hacking.

Old Church a Landmark.

| Almost adjoining the Arlington on 10th
street is st. Johns Episcopal Church. a
famous landmark. 1t was built after the
war of 1872 with the encouragement OF
President Madison, and for nearly two
generations it was the court church., -
attended by every President before Lin
coin.
Across 10th street lived the late John
Hay. Secretary of State. and his immedi-
ate neighbor, Henry Adams. grandson OF
John Quincy Adams. In the next house
lived Senator Sldell before he was Con-
federate ambassador to France. The cor
ner house Immediately adjoining that Of
Slidell was owned and occupied by Daniel
Webster during the whole period when he
was Secretary of State.
In the heart of these surroundings It
was not surprising that the Arlington
Hotel. when opened in 1870 by R0essle &
Son, soon became stamping ground for
the nations leading men. Theophile T..
Roessle. as manager. understood the
value OF comfort and good dinners to men
| of state. He was one man in q thousand
| to fill the position he had made for him
self, and his hotel. run more on an
artistic than commercial basis, gained
steadily in favor.
Roessle believed In fine paintings and
fine statuary. and made yearly trips to
Europe to pick up the best he could find.
The hotel was full of the rare treasures
| he brought from Europe. A rare paint
| ing of Charles II in the restaurant always
excited the Arbitration of art connois-
SeurS
| Roessle did not hesitate to ship old
| fashioned. somber furniture all the way
| from Europe IL he thought 1t would
| please the taste of his patrons. This love
| for the artistic had the effect of bringing
European princes and mobiles to his hotel
when they came to Washington, and
made the reputation of the Arlington
known in Europe as wellas in America.
