NEW YORK, March 81 (N.A.N.A).-
An eccentric waiter with collapsible
legs first embarrassed and then APP
palled and angered the guests at a
most exclusive dinner party Ambassador
Dawes gave at the embassy, and London
is talking about the affair with GER
tain resentful amusement.
The dinner took place some weeks
ago. bit the story was suppressed in
London and has only now reached
New York. Among the guests are said
to have been Lady Astor and the Span
ish Ambassador Marques Merry del
Val, who is the most punctiliouS of
persons. Several distinguished and
somewhat rigid Britishers were pres
ent also.
AS the guests took their seats the
singular clumsiness of the waiter
forced itself upon their unwilling at
tention. He stumbled into the way OF
his irritated fellows. skidded perilously
around corners, and had such para
lytic grasp on silver and glassware
that there were constant sharp crashes
Guests Attempt to Cover Up.
Politely. the guests strove by rapid
conversation to cover the confusion and
spare their host embarrassment. They
marveled at the patience of the Am
baSsador, who flushed, but managed to
preserve his self control.
Finally an involuntary little cry of
annoyance came sharply from one of
the guests, a lady, when the waiter
spilled the mineral water on her hand
instead of pouring it into her glass,
and then offered clumsy apologies.
A situation even more trying arose
a few minutes later when the waiter
dropped handful of knives and forks
with clatter, and then, pulling out
fiashlight, dived under the table and
fumbled about to retrieve what he had
lost. Some Of the silver had fallen
near the feet of lady, and from be-
meath the table the waiter addressed
her in a muffled voice:
Crowns" a Peer.
Move over, pleased"
Little effort was being made now
by the guests to control their indigna-
ton, and there we're angry exclama-
tons when the waiter committed a
fresh and browning atrocity by letting
an entree dish fall with a merry ring
upon the distinguished head of an
elderly British peer.
Ambassador Dawes half rose from his
seat, but before he could speak, the
waiter took on an alarming list, q list
