Virtually all of them try so hard to impress this government as to how nice and im- portant they are that any such course would be a reversal of policy. The best evidence of the anxicty of other governments to stand in with Uncle Sam, who is so important him- i self and who has so much money, is to 5 be seen in the caliber of diplomats who are sent to Washington and continual process of building big. and better embassies and Jegatic Most of them send their very | men to represent them here and they house these men in ma whose size and expense is w at of proportion to thei onal wealth. They Rate Very High Socially, at least, Washington re- sponds cordially to these obvious overtures. Perhaps Washington so- tiety, based so much as it is on the of ficial rank of federal jobholders, is easily dazzled. At any rate, where. as diplomats in other 1 tomparatively to them often surrounded by their trymen and frequently abide in s ond-rate quarters, in Washington t are virtually the first social Social activity appears to re’ ‘round them. The mere rank of an attache casts so much glamour in this town that it is no wonder so many bus boys and waiters of foreign de- scent have posed as such in their heart-breaking campaigns. The social functions which at the most attention here are genera diplomatic.

Not a particularly distinguished or original name, to be sure! Most towns I have visited boast of a Joe's re. is particular Joe's, however, was &@ gathering place of prize fighters, theatrical folk, newspaper men and the edds and ends of Broadway. It was in the middle-Fifties. The pro- prietor’s name was Joc Brown—a not unfamiliar moniker. oe Joe Brown was a Broadw igure who might be described as “typical” —that is, typical at least of who he was and what he did. I mean he looked tough, even though he probably wasn’t—in fact, I happen to know that he wasn’t—he talked tough and with that corner-of-the-mouth twist to his face. He had operated a place called the Old Mill, and when I f THINGS The fellow looked as hard-boiled as his role. “I'd like to have you mect Joc! said my guide, In a_ shady corner a few seconds er, Joe Brown of Broadway was ving ... “I’m an actor—laugh that off! Who told me, I was an actor?— well, it wasn’t me. IT didn’t know it. A guy breezed into town looking for birds that looked like yeggs, I guess.
