SNOBS THRIVE IN
CAPITAL SOCIETY
The Ordinary Washington
Man Finds Nearly All Doors
Are Closed to Him

Washington-"Let me tell you an
experience / had here last night"
said one who, like myself, was a
visitor in Washington. 81 went to
what l thought would be a very
simple and intimate little dinner
party. But, to my amazement, two
great celebrities were present"
He mentioned the names. not es-
sential to this narrative, both known
the country over.
We'll, what do you suppose hap
pened? The rest of us-we were
dozen altogether-were submerged,
lost. We sat around the celebrities
in two groups before dinner and we
deferred to them during dinner and
we turned ourselves into an admir-
ing court after dinner"
Did you enjoy it?" / asked.
Il won't say that I was modest
enough to enjoy it. 1 felt as if
had been relegated to the chorus.
that. But | was entertained and
amused
Did the celebrities enjoy it,"
Watched the Clock
Apparently. But they both show
ed they were getting tired toward
the end. l caught them glancing
covertly at the clock. One of them
gets $500 a night for lecturing. He
gave us the material for several lee
lures in the course of the evening" /"
How did the others enjoy it,"
"Oh, they acted as If they hung
on every word spoken by the celeb
rites. They were delighted to be
in such company"
/ repeated this conversation to my
friend, the seasoned Washingtonian.
"Oh, yes" he said, with a sigh
of WEAKNESS, there's a great deal
of rank and title here"
DO most people like it?" l asked.
OF course they like it. Don't you
know that most people are snobs? i?
If Thackeray were alive he'd find
some choice material in this demo-
cratic capital"
DO YOU think the snobbishness
is in any way associated with the in
tiuence of the titled diplomats who
come here to live?"
NO. Some of them are more
democratic than most Americans. 1
have heard them laugh at American
snobishneSs.
Because it's founded on money!"
Not Based on Money
NO. 1t isn't wholly founded on
money in Washington. It's founded
on what is considered success, indi-
vidual importance. People have
pretty definite rank here. The stars
at great dinner parties. for example,
are often men in public life who
haven't anMmoney at all and who
when they die are likely to leave
an extensive heritage of debts"
Are foreign titles very much
sought after in Washington"
mo. not for their own sake. In
this particular, Washington snobi
have grown more sensible of recent
years. The titles have become
heapened. Too many have come
here and often they have been as
sociated with fortune hunters and
Adventures. Unless title has
money to back it up with it doesn't
count for much"
How about military titles?'
Generals are at a premium in
! Washington just now. And what a
crop of titles we are having. We
shay become the greatest titled
democracy in the world. John D.
Barry, in San Francisco Bulletin

commission accepted the 100000

large mine owners of the Occur

settled the first and probably the
most mooted question that has

of the commission, voted to allow
all companies to bid on compen-

out to the last for closing out all

nit the state to have a monopoly.
