Degenerate Sons of Statesmen.

ANY one who attends the President 5
receptions is struck by the physical con-
trast between the prOmin mt statesmen
of the day and their hopeful sons. 1t
is well known that all the United States
Senators, with three exceptions, and
nearly all the able men in the House OF
Representatives are above the average
height and of very ample proportions.
They are sclf-madc men and required
all the vitality Of their large frames to
raise themselves in the world. They
are an honor to the White House and
lend dignity to its receptions. But
what pitiful lot are their wretched lit
tie dudes of sons, with their spindle
legs, dwarfed frames, sunken chests
and colorless faccs-ambitionleSs, diSSl-
pated, without even "A manly wee.
There are some marked exceptions, but
the average society young man, as seen
in the White House, is anything but an
object of admiration. 1t is common
sight to see handsome, stately girl
with one Of these little objects trotting
across the room at her side, scarcely
reaching her shoulders. That women
don't admire the puny things is proved
by the rarity of marriage in Washing
ton society, except in army and navy
circles, where the young men are more
manly in form and character. - Wash
