In another corner of the east room ]
overheard this sad commentary on Wash.
ington society:
Ibid you hear why old Congressman

tell You, and it's good joke. He gave
it out that he was tired of public serv-
ice, and wanted to travel, and all that,
but the facts are his wife has been carry

age-shocked him, and then she was SO
gay and firty with the attaches of the
legations and the army and navy officers
that he told her last winter if she didn't
brace up he'd quit congress and take her
back to her quiet little home in the coun-
try. She went it stronger than ever,
and be kept his word and declined a re-
nomination"

Well, keep an eye on her."
And still another whispered fragment:

house to marry young fellow who no
