HOTEL MAINTAINS A STRICT STANDARD
CANBERRA, Feli. 5. The quaint eustom in Australia that, 110 matter whai the temperature may be, diners in hotel resaurants must wear suits, including coats, eollars and ties, shows 110 sign o-f dying out. The Minister of Information, Mr. A. A. Calwell, was turned away from the dining'-r 00111 of the Hotel Canberra when lunch was being served because he was wearing a suit and an open-necked shirt. On being- stopped by the head waiter, Mr. Calwell asked where he could get a tie. He was referred to the waiters' ante-room, where a tie was obtained for him. The leader of the British dele-gatic-n to the South Seas Conference,' Mr. Ivor Thomas, was refused a meal at the same hotel because he entered the dining'-r 00m a few minutes after 7 p.m. After sitting- in the lounge for an hour, Mr. Thornas asked for a drink and was told the bar had closed. He then' ordered brealcfast in bed and was told the hotel did not supply this service.
