The question ef precedence at dinner
and at social functions nt Washington
Is a weighty one In official circles, but
once upon a time there was a western
senator whose wife thought very light
ly on this subject She was to Wash
ington for a good time, and ahe re
sol red to have It without bothering
alxmt precedence.
Thia fearless little woman gave a
dinner on one occasion, and when. «
was time to get her guests from tb«
drawing room Into the dining room ana
said:

••There la some precedence about an
this, but I don’t know what It to WTO
shoo out to dinner, every one of yoa,
and alt down anywhere yon please.
Thia stroke of western diplomacy
worked perfectly.—Exchange.
