The man had just informed the
Pullman agent that he wanted Pull

Clipper or lower?" asked the agent.
Whats the difference?" asked the
man.
"a difference of fifty cents in this
case" replied the agent. THE lower
is higher than the upper. The higher
price is for the lower. If you want
it lower you'll have to go higher. We
sell the upper lower than the lower.
In other words, the higher the lower.
Most people don't like the upper, al
though it is lower on account of it's
being higher. When you occupy an
upper you have to get up to go to
bed and get down when you get up.
You can have the lower If you pay
higher. The upper is lower than the
lower because it is higher. If you
are willing to go higher, it will be
the lower" But the poor man had

And these are full weeks for So

OF them every night this week. 1t
seems to he a case of Lent running

Of the imminent change Of admin

brook delay until after Easter. And
in such a case-well so much the
worse for Lent.
Everybody Is crowding in all the
official entertaining they can be in
duced to accept for the departing
Cabinet members; and they, in
last few weeks all the entertaining
that they have been putting of for
the more convenient season that
never seems to come Most of the
Cabinet are dining in state, either
as guests or hosts. practically
every night between now and March
4. and the diplomats, regardless Of
the fact that a very large number
OF them are Roman Catholics, seem
to be being carried along with the
food.
For instance, it gives one some
thing Of a surprise to hear that the
French Ambassador and Nine. Jus
serand were the honor guests at a
dinner which the Secretary of State
and Mrs. Colby gave last night. You
know. they used to call the King of
France, in the old days, "the eldest
son of the church" and certainly
the Jusserands are the most con-
spicuous Roman Catholics here, One
can quite get the Co1bys' point Of
view. Secretary Colby had been
down in South America for weeks
in the beginning of the season. AS
far as possible, Mrs. Colby did the
entertaining for him while he was
away. But there were certain es-
pecially important persons-and the
dean of the Diplomatic Corps, who
was, incidentally. the representative
Of the country which is tradition
ally Uncle Sans oldest and closest
friend among the nations, is em-
phatiCally one OF them-tO whom
he probably felt that he owed the
compliment of himself being pres
ent when they were entertained.
And by the time he got back, all
the time before Lent was undoubt-
edIy filled, so he had to make what
dates he could.

On the other hand. the Swiss Min

dinner on Wednesday night for the

the eighteen guests-the Jusserands,

were conspicuously Roman Catholic
diplomats, and the De Matthews and

tina, Latin Americans, and undoubt-

during the season distinctly worth
while-and more and more they
have brought out those members of
official society who are not merely
official, but society. Also there is
a constant rapid fire of small par
ties, some given by the club and
some by individual members. They
have a delightfully."- pretty club
house at New Hampshire avenue
and Sixteenth street, built by the
club on piece of land given it for
the purpose by Mrs. John B. Hen
derson.
However, to get back to people
it's funny how absolutely the pres
ent occupants of the White House
have sunk into the background.
Mrs. Wilson seems to feel that her
race at the White House is run.
She isn't trying to do even the most
informal entertaining; even her
mild little box parties at the con-
certs seem to be petering out.
She did not go to the New York
Orchestra's concert at all She did
go t. hear the Philadelphia Or
chestra, but she took with her
only members of her own fam
ily-her mother and sister. Mr.. and
