Georgetown Prep, victorious in
six consecutive starts until yes
terday's defeat, drops back into
third position while Bethesda
Chevy Chase and Gonzaga with
five victories each top the league
standings. The little Hoyas started
off on what appeared to be an
other easy victory when Dett-
weller and Brayer won their
matches but lost the best-ball
point.
Bethesda forged into the lead
by making a clean sweep of the
second foursome, but when the
final match had reached the six
tenth tee it appeared that
Georgetown would take the match
and remain at the top of the
league.
The Bethesda youngsters won
the seventeenth and eighteenth
holes to assure victory for their
team. The results:
Ross (Bethesda) lost to Dettweiler
(Prep.), 2 up. Burgest (Bethesda) lost

DY the end of July I had
ID received a notice from
the committee on admission
at Harvard University in
forming me I was to be ad-
mitted. Ny father already
was planning my social life
as a freshman. He had writ
ten me: ''Who is this Ken
meth Clinton that you pro-
pose rooming with? I am
not sure that I will consent
to your making this arrange
ment. You will be rated
largely by the men you as
sociate with &c. Kenneth
Clinton married the charm
ing Miss Audrey Hoffman,

ward and today belongs to
the best clubs and is re-
garded as one of the leading
architects in New York
city,
My father picked out a
room for me at Harvard in
Claverly Hall. Then, later,
another letter from my
father: Dear Frank: I have
been making inquiries and
learn from various fathers
that it is thought the Polo
Club hurts a mans chances
with upper classmen and
getting into good clubs later.
The best fellows do not join
it. So I think you had bet
ter decline it graciously if

might occupy a seat with
them. He replied enthusiastic
cally: "That will be quite all
right" Topping, top
ping" said another, Gust
topping"
I endeavored to join in
their conversation, but they
only seemed amused. I
imagine that my medals and
the manner in which I wore
them were the cause Of their
merriment.
Bravery for fighting Red
Indians p asked one I
left the table to escape this
refined form of being given
the raspberry. Signaling a
lackey, I suggested that we
go out to the Buttery to-
gether and mutually enjoy a
quart Of champagne which he
should be able to procure.
Once outside the banquet
hall, my new friend and I
partook of the wine and
gradually forgot the exist
ence Of kings and emperors.
But the night was ad-
vancing and the color of the
lackey's proboscis was turn
ing to a brilliant crimson, so
I thought l had better rejoin
my aunt and uncle. I found
them talking to a very at
tractive young lady, Cheyles-
more introduced me. Her
name was Miss Victoria
Campbell.
But I had no more than
said: ''How do you dot"
when Cheylesmore took me
by the arm.
"Well, Frank, it is time to
go home, so say goodnight, "
he said.
Thus ended the career of
this New Hampshire Yankee
at King Edwards Court.
THAT prince of good fell
l. lows, Samuel Jones Wag-
staff, asked me to be one
of his ushers at his we'd
ding to my sister, Pauline,
which was held at Newport
in May, 1908. The other
usherS included Oliver Harri-
man, jr., Clarence Pell and
Griswold Lorillard.

the club that year included
Gordon H. Blach, H.. G.
Dewey, Frederick Chatfield,
Alexander Yarnall, Eric

Polo, other members Of my
class included Frederick
Lewis Allen and Robert
Benchley, now authors; G.
Suydam Cutting, Henry
Holt, jr., W. Kingsland
Macy and Kermit and Oil

My coming out in smart
society had presented me
with a grave problem at home
as it had abroad. There had
been very bad stock prices in
America that year, and when
I arrived in Newport, I did
not have a dress suit. What
was I to do? News came to
me that an establishment on
Thames Street rented dress
suits at so much a night, with
a slight saving in cost if ycu
rented by the month. That
was all I wanted to know, and
when the raiment arrived I
began to accept invitations
everywhere.

lery and was approaching
less than 80 feet from where
| stood.
The procession included
King Edward and Queen
Alexandra, the Kaiser and
Kaiserin, members of the
royal household and other
guests. The Kaiser and
Kaiserin passed so close to
me that l had a splendid op-
portunity Of observing them
most minutely. I had heard
rumors concerning Wilhelm's
left arm and certain whisper
ings pertaining to the back
of the Kaiserin's neck.
So l looked carefully as
they passed me by. The
Kaiser's left arm was cooked
and set against his chest, and
this position made it impos-
sible to detect anything un-
usual about it. The Kaiserin's
neck was pretty we'll pow
dered, but there also seemed
to be a tinge of reddish-look-
ing skin which of course
might well have been prickly
heat.
1.-THE Kaiser had a withered
arm, a fact he strove all his
life to conceal. Psychologists
have suggested that this in
trinity had much to do with
forming the KaiSer's character
and creating his desire to be
the man Of might.-Editor.l

what was | to do about the
Decorations, Ribbon and
Stars, commanded by the

that l did not have a ribbon
was not so bad. 1t was al
ways possible to dash into
town and purchase d yard or
two of Harvard crimson. But
where in the world was l to
OBJ tain decoration and
stars? l ransacked the
old-fashioned trunk l had
brought over, and under
everything else l discovered
half a dozen club and ath-
letics medals with ribbons
of assorted colors attached.
One belonged to a school
friend who had run the 100
yard dash in about 10 sec
onds. Another was d Hasty
Pudding Club medal with
yellow and white ribbon. The
others represented athletic
prowess Of one kind and an
other-some one had left
them in the trunk by mis-
take.
What luck!

see as much as possible of
the proceedings which were
to take place in welcome to

Majesties. In view of events
to come, it seems slightly
humorous to report that the
Irish Guards played the Eng
1ish national anthem and en-
thuSiastic applause greeted
the Kaiser and Kaiserin. l
recall the Kaiser wore the
uniform of the Danzig Hus-
sars. His expression was
stern and the occasional
smile that broke the severity

breeches, which were hooked
just above the knee cap,
showed that my silk stock
ings covered legs really re-
sembling a pair of matches.
This would never do.
l first tried wrapping face
towels around my calves to
give them a seductive bulge,
but it was obvious that pad
ding and not manly muscle
were inside the stockings.
Then l wound and wound
rolls of tissue paper about
the bones of my legs, sprink-
ling a few drops of water on
the wrapping to pack it down
and hold it in place.
But one other circum-
stance remained to bother
me. The texture of the silk
breeches was so soft that it
was only with the greatest
difficulty that l could keep
my new pants buttoned up.
No time remained, however,
to worry further on that
score.
Arrived at Windsor Castle,
we sailed past many a peri
wigged and powdered
lackey, then into a large
room called Waterloo Gal
lery. This chamber was
pretty we'll filled with an
assorted company of princes
and princesses, dukes and
duchesses, earls and count
esses, lords and ladies, sew
eral reverends and their
wives, etc.
A strikingly aristocratic
looking man approached my
aunt Che may have been the
Duke of Connaught), of
fered his arm and walked
away with her. Cheylesmore
recognized some person he
knew and moved across the
gallery to offer his greetings
leaving me quite alone.

soul in this vast Essemblage,

aunt, with whom I had so
much as a speaking ac-
quaintance. 1 began to feel
self-conscious, gauche and

my hands in my breeches
