know him or his family in society and others
VINO know merely his fame. The wife and
daughters of member-if he has any-are
gener lily present when he makes a speech
The tabernacle girls are always there. Inc
wives of some of the members are very con-
slant in their attendance upon congress.
Some OF them spend all the time they can
spare from social and domestic duties In
watching the doings of congress. In some
cases this is because they like TO DO near
their husbands, who often sit with them IN
the speakers gallery, and sometimes 1t Is
because they are natural politicians and love
TO watch public affairs. There are several
members in the house whose wives nre &C
credited with being the best politicians In
the family. When a member is going to
speak he generally braces himself for an
extra effort if he feels the eyes of his VIE
upon him from the gallery. Most of them
would rather be criticised by any one III the
world than by their wives.
FLOWERS FOR MEMBERS.
Tho habit of sending flowers to members
is less common than it was. The members
discouraged it. If at the close of a speech
member gets a bunch of flowers sent by
mis- wife he is pleased, but if
his wife is in the gallery and
be knows she did not send them, it is embar
rassmg. 1t used to be quite the custom of
women who wanted favors from congress
men to send them large and gorgeous has
kets of flowers on the slightest provocation.
But no woman who has any tact will do so
now. She knows it Will lose to her what
ever influence she has with him. No mem
Dor ever knows just what to do with
bunch of flowers too large to pin on the
lapel of his coat The only thing open to
him is to hire page to throw them away,
or to send them home to his wife. The lat
ter frequently involves him in an embarrass-
ing explanation. The average member will
dodge a bouquet us he will a vote on labor
problem
