to
Mr.

think,
more

a hundred, perhaps t'110 hundred invitation. and
the
party

gly.n
at

the evenin,g. .liter the cUnner wae over there were the uBUaI toallts
and lI!leecbes . One incident wal
note'll'ort~
and. 'II'a. cOIaIlented on by

we.
the leavin,g the table or
Mr.

the
Secretary of the

Le,ation, when the
~en'lI
health wae proposed. At all
~lish
tables the first toalt 11 always the
~een .
J.!r.
Sicid81 held that all thil wall an American table the health of
the President should bave been the firat proposed., and, I lInl.t
ae,r,
I think
he wal right.
The
event mad6 quite a cOIaIlotion and, I believe,
Wr.

do
not see 'II'h¥ the En&U,h lhould have
everything their own
'
II'1l¥ .
At an kIuIriclUI table lUI .american toe.at lhould
have precedence.
The other event I n,h to noUce
