does her shopping in the morning and
gets home TO dinner at , o clock. was
lately detained in town during one OF

1t is an old and true remark that one

that have never happened TO secure an
opportunity to pay visit to the capital
city of the United States, very few in
deed have any practical idea of the
methods of life there To furnish some
information upon a point in which I'll
have an interest, and many, if not all,
are more or less curious, the following IL

est to which all eyes are turned. 1t has
come to be regarded sort of require
ment of official life that members of the
Cabinet must keep house, and not re-
side in apartments or hotels and board
ing houses, for the purposes of recep-
tons and calls of formal state and so
cial life, and Senators too. have fallen in
to the notion that they can better serve
their State if living in houses of their
own. 1t is more dignitieG than hotel
life, and so perhaps majority of the
members of the Senate, live in houses
of their own, or in rented houses.
