waned, and hotel registers
- have an appearance of loneli-
ness. Only the foyers take on an air
OF gayety when the dark early autumn
afternoons drive the crowds together
for the diversion OF clinlSing teacups
and the chatter Of conversation. But
daily tea takers become more and
more typical Berlinoise. There are
still occasional princes and princesses
10 be seen, and no republican fervor
has dimmed their luster to those who
do not enjoy titles.

these post-season days are largely rep
resertatives OF the banking and mer-
camille world. Among these are w. A
Phillips >of New York and J. r. Nc

lon. Other American arrivals OF the
