Show A Lesson for Diplomats. Ellon Koot, at the luncheon In Profldewe preceding the dedication of the John May Memorial library at Brown university, said of John Hay: "Ilia diplomacy was precious, and It waa prudent as well. I remember, ia an argument about a certain International Inter-national complication, how very warmly and aptly he once insisted on prudence. "It the Christmas season, and he said that we might learn a lesson from a little girl who was naughty In tbn early part of December. " 'IJear me,' her mother said, lf you're going to be naughty I'm very much afraid Santa C'laus won't bring you any present a.' "The little girl frowned. "'Well,' Fhu whispered, 'you needn't ay it ao near tho chimney!'" |
