many of the other summer residenus
there! That is a mighty small bill
when you figure that there are at
least II servants at Harlakenden
House all summer.
There is one thing above all 9TH
ers that | am sure President Wilson
likes, though, and that is coffee.
THE Wilson coffee bill is way out
proportion to everything else on the
slip. They always use six pounds
week - and sometimes more. And
you know coffee has to be served at
every meal to get away with six
pounds Of it every seven days
But ! think President Wilson re-
allies that he is drinking too much
coffee because this year he is not US
ing the brand he did last summer or
the one before. He is now drinking
the new kind of coffee from which the
caffeine has been extracted.
But that is Woodrow Wilson for
you-a man with a perfect control Of
himself. There is no bluff about him
so far as we in Windsor can see. He
is a genuine Anerican-nOt a bit of
four-ffUsher, with all his power and
popularity.
why, one day, early IN the morn
ing I saw him go by here in his ma
chine and he DOTTED his hat as he
passed an American flag, although
there wasn't a single soul about to
see him.. That's the kind Of respect
he has for his country.
'And so I feel that it is the greatest
honor a man like me could have-not
simply, you know, to serve a presi-
dent-bUt to serve a great president
like Woodrow Wilson"

PLAYWRIGHT'S TRIBUTE.
"Theatre Has Lost Great Captnin,'
Says Augustua Thomas.

Augustus Thomas, the PLAYWRIGHT. paid
the following tribute to the memory Of
Charles Frohman yesterday:
Charles Frohman Was man OF sterlin g
character. In business he was notable
for fair dealing. courage and magma
ton. No stronger personality was asso-
ciated with the English theatre in his
generation. His colleagues and his EN-
ployees loved and trusted him.
Socially he had kind OF shyness which.
with the remarkable amount OF work
that he did. restricted his intimate reia-
tons to few friends. These knew him
as most delightful companion. sympa-
thetic. sparkling. clean minded and gentle
lie saw the humor in any situation
as quickly IA any man ever met and had
a graphic and pantomimic way of point
ing and reporting it. There was much
poetry in his nature and the subtle whim-
sizes Of Barrie found IN &C. F. their most
prompt and prophetic appreciation. Bron-
son Howard. Gillette, David Belasco,
Clyde Fitch and other American drama
lists were substantially indebted TO his
encouragement and support,
His instinct and his practice had dc
veloped him into a most effective stage
director In his taking on the business
the production and the art OF the theatre
