Ministers Invade
Former Bar; Shock
Counter Man

At I o'clock last night the Rus
sian driver who for a decade, has
Iashed his four horses straight out
Of the wall of the Raleigh Hotel
buffet, tugged backward nightly
on the reins and nearly fell out
Of the troika with astonishment.
Right under the crushing hoofs
walked little procession most for
eign to those precincts, even in
these days when the hardest thing
served over the bar is a four-min-
ute egg. 1t was a group of clergy
men and deaconesses, going to at
tend a denominational union ban
qUet upstairs.
Deluded by the pretentious Penn
sylvania avenue doorway into the
belief that they were entering the
lobby, the little band found them
selves in the former stronghold of
John Barleycorn before they re-
allied their whereabouts. Then
they bravely strode through, max
ing the best Of 1t. Doubtless most
of them never had set foot in an
orthodox bar before.
The Russian driver and his span
of four resumed their mad dash.
They wouldn't have noticed the in
trusion anyhow, being only parts
of a big wall painting.
