WASHINGTON NOTES.
Mrs, Senator Hearst's Ambition for Eel,
Son William.

Mrs. Senator Hearsrs Ambition for Her
Son william.
Mrs. Grundy Jr., writing from Washing
ton to the Chicago Times, has the following
concerning Mrs. Senator Hearst and her
son William: Senator Hearst's wife, after
passing June in the North, has returned to
spend the month of July here and give the
finishing touches to her new house, which
may be termed one of the modern palaces
and one of the most magnificent. The time
Is not far distant, apparently, when Amer
leans need not 60 abroad to see palaces, but
will have them in plenty at home. A
glimpse at Senator Hearsts Washington
palace shows a grand MUSHROOM, pretty
fully described when Mrs. Heart opened it
with Easter musicales; drawlng-room
with walls hung in rose-pink satin
brocades; furniture in Pompadonr
satin, the fireplaceS set In onyx,
cushions and curtains embroidered in ex-
quisite colors. and barmoniziDg with all
other appointments The library walls are
hung in pale blue velvet, the reception
room is in pale blue and dull gold. and
inches here and there are filled with
statuary. And this great house made we'll
nigh perfect from the grand supper-roOm
finished in California wood below stairs to
the tOwer-roOm at the top, by no end of
money and extremely good taste, is not to
be simply the home of family of three.
Lne SENATOR, Ills WIG duu lueIE SUI. w liz
lam Hearst. who spends most OF his time IN
San Francisco, looking after his paper, the
Daily Examiner. On no; Mrs. Hearst is
found of society ana delights in filling her
house with young people. 1t viii be quiet
until next season. and then there Will be
succession of young women guests to I'LL
the newest of the Washington palaces with
life and social gayety.
William Hearst or ''young Mr.. Hearst"
as he is usually called, is young bachelor,
the only child and the heir to his fathers
millions. Whom will he marry? NO other
question is of such intense interest to his
parents, particularly to his mother. 1t is
not extravagant because true that upon his
marriage depends his mothers future hap
piness. Senator Hearst is not a man OF So
cial ambition. His sons choice of worthy
woman would satisfy Honest Old George
and regard the Senator, who was once
one of their own set. Even now
Senator Hearst will slip away from
his San Francisco home for fort
night to a miners camp, to tell stories and
rough it in miners cabin on miners
fare. 1t is certain, therefore, that Senator
Hearst VIII not break his heart if his son
and heir but chooses worthy woman, how
ever lacking she may be in social position.
But not so Mrs Hearst. She is a woman
possessed Of much pride and social ambi-
ton. She would have her son travel abroad,
mingle with men of culture and leisure, es-
pecially EngIishmen, for Mrs. Hearst has
leaning toward England and the English.
If il would so happen that young MIR.
Hearst's wealth would bring about another
international marriage, such as that of Au-
guStus Jessup, 1t is safe to say her sons
choice would come nearer the marx OF graf
flying Mrs. HearSts fond hopes for her son,
who is the "apple Of her eye"
But, unfortunately for his ambitious
mother, William Hearstis hopelessly Amer
lean. hopelessly democratic in theory and
practice and uncompromisingly down" on
aristocratic tendencies. What is to be
done, then, with the young millionaire who
could easily get titled wife for the asking,
but will not, because he stubbornly holds
back from matrimony until his heart
chooses a mice American girl'' for his
wife? Why, put the mice American girP'
in the young mans way, of course. This
Mrs. Hearst means to do, for above all
things she desires to see her boy well mar
RED She frankly confesses that her sons
choice of a wife will make her happy
woman or his marriage may prove her
greatest sorrow. so much is her heart
