close shave, but he handles the razor himself,
and only patronizes the house barber for the
trimming of his whiskers McAdoo shaves

Mrs Grant has been stopping this week with
Mrs. Senator Stanford, and saw her at a re-
ception not long ago. 1t was at the senator's
house, and it is hard to picture the gorgeous
ness Of this millionaire's palace. Its walls
are hung with the finest of paintings, and the
most gorgeous portieres separate the
large parlors. About the room are
scattered pieces of gold embroidery,
any one of which would be con-
sidered u prize by a housekeeper, and, while
everything is so rich, there is no gaudiness
about it. Senator Stanford, notwithstanding
his S75, 900, 900, is very unostentatious in his
ways. He is not averse to talking with news
paper men, and he is as cordial with a work
ingman as with one of his brother senators.
He does not prize money overmuch, and he
says that he gets nothing out Of his great
fortune but his board and his clothes l
doubt not, however, that it is good board,
and his Clothes while not those of dude,
are well made, and Of the finest material
He is u man Of brains, and he is something
Of q statesman as well as money maker.
