There are a number Of f!mIlies who have

the marine corps, the civil service, home and
foreign, are honored by the scions OF the
first families. All kinds Of destinations are
resorted to to accomplish these results. The
labors of n senators, the laurels won
in a dozen party campaigns, even the learn
ing and experience Of lie, are nothing IN
comparison to the system adopted by these
veterans ia Washington society. Not. IN
