"John , you should doff your hat In the
presence of ladles in a public elevator , " ex
claimed a blushing bride of but a few
months , as she luft a largo ofllcc building in
this city , in company with her leigo lord.
But John thought differently , and was
bold enough to say so. Ho protested against
the custom , which ho characterised as one
begotten chiefly of affectation and ignoianco.
"Do you expect a man to uncover his head
in a street car in the presence of ladles ] " ho
contended. "No. And can you see any dis
tinction between a street car and an elevator
car in your claim for a better expression of
respcctfoi the fair creatures ? I don't think
you cnti.Vhilu I allow no man to out do mo
in oxhibititious of deference to the presence
of ladies , I really think it is going a little too
far to rule that n gentleman shall doff his
bat always in a public conveyance in com
pany vrith ladies. In that case a man enterIng -
Ing an omnibus , en route to the depot , would
bo expected to ride bare-headed for u mile ,
Just to answer the- behests of ctlauetto 1 Excuse -
cuso me.
"Not at all , a theater is an entirely differ
ent thing. So is n hotel elevator. Ladies
enter the latter boundless and hutlcss on the
way to and from the dining room , and the
bouso is in charge of a host , which implies
that ho umtortulccs to furnish his guests a
temporary home , partaking somewhat of the
nature of a private house. This being the
case , it is eminently proper that a gentleman
houltl uncover his head in a hotel elevator ,
Just as ho should under the roof of uny host. "

On Mouduy evening of thU week Mr.
William M. Lorlmer wasaereeably surprised
by a number of friends who gathered at his
residcnco G03 Park avenue , on invitation of
Mrs. Lorimcr , the occasion being the thirty-
eighth anniversary of his birthday. Among
the many pleasant and interesting features
of the evening was the presentation of a
gold-headed cane. The presentation was
nmdo by Dr. J. T. Mathews , with a few well
directed remarks , to which Mr. Lorimcr re
sponded in a very fitting manner , showing
the strong friendship which existed between
all. During tlio evening refreshments were
served and all loft at a late hour , feeling
that they had enjoyed themselves immensely.
A Historic Evening.
The last of the historic entertainments
which liavo studded the ton months or tbo
closing scholastic year at Park place , oc
curred last night. It was a summing up of
the work of the proceeding "literaries , " or
moro properly , a chapter of things omitted.
Thus was rounded oft what , if put together
would form a most instructive volume of his
torical essays.
The introductory dealt with a subject
which could not fail to possess interest for
any one , but for us , of another branch of the
great Teutonic family , it has the additional
charm that it is the history of our blood rela
tions. It Is a pleasant thing to hear recorded
that these old Prankish invaders were
humane conquerors ; that they re
spected women with chivnlric cour
tesy ; that their prisoners of war
were treated as guests , or hospos ,
and that to this fact we ewe our signitlcant
word "hospitality. " The essay on the
Nerovingians showed how the foundation of
many modern Institutions was laid during
that period of wh'ch ' comparatively little is
known ; above all , how European independ
ence cast its first enduring roots during the
reigns of the much despised "sluggard
kings. " The third essay was a painstaking
justification of a much-maligned character.
The very eminence of persons of genius
often attract the Ho of calumny which tradi
tion convoys beyond the possibility of refu
tation. But in the case of Christina jpf
Sweden , her latest apologist at Purl :
Place has been fortunate In finding
valuable , authentic datu to establish
her claims to an honorable nlcho In
the historic gallery. Unhappy Poland ,
too , had n hearing , and n very lair presenta
tion of her grievances , if wo may Judge from
tlio arguments of Miss Shelley in her favor.
With u nice discrimination of cause- and ef
fect , the young essayist traced the blotting
out of Poland from tlio list of nations to tnn
treaty of Westphalia. Other cause , no
doubt , precipitated this unfortunate result ,
but this was the primal one. Miss Hubcock's
"Hctrospectlvo and Valedictory" wus a beau
tiful tribute to ttic class and to the work ac
complished during the past three ycsrs at
thcso monthly reunions , and an eloquent
appeal to those who are to follow , to keep
alive thu sacred tire already enkindled.
There was nn inspiriting jnusiciil pro
gramme produced by the strongly cmphn-
ni/.ed accents of Do Cocnicl's "Grand
March , " "Ttio Witch's Flight1' and Gou
nod's "Juliet. " The ' 'Echoes of Spring , " as
rendered by the Junior choir , were sent out
with a charming freshness and smoothness
Ihnt showed curnful training. A beautiful
hymn , "Immauulata , " was sung by thoyoune
ladies of the choir proper , with a fullness
ami power that no organ plpo could equal ,
and that , too , in an easy agreeable way. Tlio
session closed with words of high commenda
tion from Ulght Rev. Bishop O'Connor ,
whoso presence ) at these porio.lla litoraries
stimulated thu ardor ol thu favored pupils of
Park Place.
