There were some interesting men at the dinner to-night,

You mean the German refiners? Yes, they are Charles Kimberly’s guests, remarked Fritzie as the floor filled.

There they are now, in that group in the archway with Mr. Nelson.

But the smaller man was not at the dinner.

No, that is Guyot, the French representative of the Kimberlys. He and George Doane, the bald, good-looking man next to him, have the party in charge. You met the immense man, Herr Gustav Baumann, at dinner. He is a great refiner and a Hawaiian planter. They are on their way to Honolulu now and leave within an hour or two in Robert Kimberly’s car for San Francisco. The Baumanns have known the Kimberlys for generations. Should you ever think Herr Baumann could dance? He is as light as a cat on his feet, but he waltzes in the dreadful European round-and-round way. The black-haired man with the big nose is Lambert, a friend of his, a promoter and a particularly famous chemist whom Robert Kimberly, by the way, hates--he is a Belgian. I can’t bear him, either--and, Heavens, Guyot is bringing him over here now to ask me to dance!
