She always spoke Of the stepchil-
dren with affection, but seldom or
never alluded to their after career.
They appeared to be always children
in her recollection. In forgetting
the lapse of years she frequently
made strange confusion in mixing upi
the past and present generations in
families. Mrs. Webster had deli
cate tact and refinement in always
avoiding all disagreeable subjects and
never by any chance saying anything
derogatory to another person. Her
worst condemnation of any one was:
"They are not the kind of people
for me, but they are very good in
many ways" She always abhorred
scandal and never listened to it under
any circumstances. There was an
anecdote told of her during life in
Washington which is very character
istic.
There was great deal of talk
about Mr.. Webster being attentive
to the wife Of q well.known Senator.
1t could not fail to have reached the
ears of Mrs. Webster, but she took
not the slightest notice and treated
the lady in question with the most
marked politeness and attention
sending her flowers, taking her to
drive-in fact. disarming all scandal
by utterly ignoring it. She was in
every way fitted for the position of
wife of the Secretary of State and
was ever the hospitable, dignifed and
graceful hostess, extending the same
courtesy TO all, whether they occupied
prominent positions or we're poor and
unknown. She often said: "The
wife Of public man like Mr.. Web
ster has to meet all sorts of people
and to be agreeable to all. I have
seen men come to our receptions in
all sorts of dress, sometimes with
} their hats on. This never annoyed
me, although it used to vex my hus-
band occasionally. - Philadelphia
