SOCIAL FUNCTIONS
ARE THEIR MISSION
Minor Foreign Diplomatic Of
ficials of No Real Service
in Washington.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-For the
man who takes an abiding interest
In the cut of his trousers and pos
sesses a distaste for active labor, the
Office of secretary in an en-
bassy or legation at Washington is
ideal. The minor officials of foreign
embassies are Of most use to fill out
society dinner-and hence the for
eign young men chiefly fit from din
ner table to dinner table with the
consummate agility Of astronomical
antelopes. Outside of that the un-
der-secretary must be polite-only
that and nothing more.
: There was a certain high Turkish
official, who came to this country not
long ago Che has since left for other
parts), whose ambition was to be-
come successfully known in re DO
leetieal way" as he used to say. He
was a genial, affable man, with a
twenty gallon capacity and a wonder
full thirst.
When the official first arrived he
used to get down early in the morn
ing and do lots Of work. He was get
ting along very well, until he ran
into group of newspapermen, who
introduced him to the Press Club.
Soon thereafter he took to getting
home at about sunrise In time the
Turkish-Italian war broke out and
one morning at IL o'clock a newspa-
per called the official by telephone to
inform him that his army in Tripoli
had suffered defeat.
The voice Of the. Turkish official
came sleepily over the telephone:
Elloa, 'elloa," he said, YEARLY.
What you wan'2"
The sad news was broken to him.
Well" he said, complainingly,
what you think l do? Why you
worry me about things like that? I
want to sle-e-e-p"
He got an accent on the word sleep
that would have reminded a faunaI
naturalist of a sheep.
Needless to say, he was not dis
turbed from that time until he went
away
One young South American-Central
American is perhaps a better descrip-
tion-was sent to this country as a
secretary to his legation, and, like
most of the young secretaries. he de-
voted his early weeks to an earnest
study of the language. In pursuance
of this idea he frequently placed HIM
self where the great unwashed were
wont to gather, and hence put
touches of dialect on his English
that startled the other guests at the
first dinner he attended
Then there was a young Chinaman,
whose father had numerous million
gen and who was sent to the legation
as an officer simply because of his
standing. The young mans father
wanted him to learn Occidental ways.
His fathers yen disappeared at an
rate. Society functions.
horses and myriad other distractions
convinced father that Occidental
ideas are primarily intended as
means for bankrupting the Orient.
And the son was soon recalled. with
his .ahigh mission still unfulfilled.
