supper club some twentyfive years ago when they used to masquerade as chofs and serve their friends to panned oysters grilled bones and griddle cakes prepared by themselves and served from bare pine tables with the simplest of china and paper napkins sill who enter here leave rank and precedence behind was the motto over the kitchen door The motto serves to show the spirit of the club where Infor- mality marks all the entertaining One may sit by whom he choses at table re- gardless of that bete of Capital off- lfil life the question of precedence Apropos of the rigor of official preced- ence perhaps a remark made by a well known and wellliked diplomat may not be out of place here Most of the diplomats take their posi- tions and rank seriously and rightly too In the diplomatic service every order of rank means something as does every rank in the army and navy Titles of foreigners accredited here may mean nothing to the average American but to them they stand for accomplishment de- votion to duty and years of service The especial diplomat already referred- to a minister from a small country in Europe said the matter of precedence did not bother him much and he did not mind where he was seated at table his hostess was a good provider and the menu did not run short before thr dishes were passed to his end of the table WEDDINGS- A marriage of interest to and Virginians is that

Meantime those who remain forthe Lenten season will not be dull Theentertaining that marks the Inbetweenseasons Is often the pleasantest of theyear and the informal luncheons anddinners aro favorites with nearly everyon

Of informal dinners none are morepopular than those given at the AlibiClub This club known as tho most fashionable if the smallest has long been afeature of social life hero and has wel-comed within its walls ninny distinguish-ed men as visitors-

A few choice spirits founded the clubas a supper club some twentyfive yearsago when they used to masquerade aschofs and serve their friends to pannedoysters grilled bones and griddle cakesprepared by themselves and served frombare pine tables with the simplest ofchina and paper napkins

sill who enter here leave rank andprecedence behind was the motto overthe kitchen door The motto serves toshow the spirit of the club where Infor-mality marks all the entertaining Onemay sit by whom he choses at table re-gardless of that bete of Capital off-lfil life the question of precedence

Apropos of the rigor of official preced-ence perhaps a remark made by a wellknown and wellliked diplomat may notbe out of place here

Most of the diplomats take their posi-tions and rank seriously and rightly tooIn the diplomatic service every order ofrank means something as does everyrank in the army and navy Titles offoreigners accredited here may meannothing to the average American but tothem they stand for accomplishment de-votion to duty and years of service

The especial diplomat already referred-to a minister from a small country inEurope said the matter of precedencedid not bother him much and he did notmind where he was seated at table

his hostess was a good providerand the menu did not run short beforethr dishes were passed to his end of thetable
