A FLORIDA ROOM

II you can't go to Florida in Lent you can
perhaps have Florida room. The notion
has been taken up hereabouts, and really
there have been worse fads in decoration.
The possession of such an apartment is
a certificate that you have been south some
previous year. or that some time you are
going. In a dainty Florida boudoir the
wings of the fiame-bright fiamingoes which
fly through the green gloom OF the swamps
like tongues Of fire make charming bits of
color, thrust behind the corner of a shelf or
mirror. Soft, coarse blankets woven
from the yellow FABRIC OF the
Nsnkin cotton and dyed in pale
bro~nish tan are hung as por-
there's and thrown as rugs across divans. In
coZy corner stands a tiny tea table made
from the palmetto tree. its top a polished
disk of the curiously marked wood, its three
legs long vanished leaf stalks, their Join
ings hidden by fans of the young leaves.
It's queer. tropical-looking bit, and if
your hostess serves you on it q glass of
orange flower syrup you are apt to think, as
you sit and sip, with your eyes resting on
some weird sketch from the lagoons, that
after all If she would but pull down that
skin of rattlesnake, it's not, with its trails
of southern moss, in the meshes Of which
perch my, vivid>colored Florida birds in
all sorts OF pretty attitudes, it's not such a
bad room. ELIZABETH DUSTIN

the Blue Grass state.
Browns political career IN his native state
became one of national notoriety. Il will be
remembered that he was first nominated for
congress before he had acquired the consti-

convention which nominated him he made
a speech, saying he was not of age. aud
would not be at the time of election, and
asked that he be not nominated, and
strongly protested against efforts Of his
friends to force the nomination upon him.
candidate, and in no congressional district
was there ever seen so great
campaign. Brown, then a mere
boy, proved himself one of the best orators
and stump speakers ever known in that
state. He was elected by the largest demo
cratic majority ever known in the district.
In conversation with Brown about
year ago, at which time be publicly an
nounced his intention of becoming a canii-
date for governor, he said that on retiring
from congress he had made up his mind to
never again re-enter public life. His friends
had repeatedly made overtures to him to
become candidate for congress- nomina-
ton which he could have had at any time
but 81 all their entresties he turned deaf
ear
Strange as it may seem, be was persuaded
to become the candidate for governor
through the influence If his daughter, an
accomplished young girl just budding into
womanhood. While she is clasSed among
the most beautiful young ladies of Ken
lucky, and as popular in society as she is
charming, she cares little for the conven-
tional ways of fashionable society, but de-
votes much of her time to the study of
politics. Her fathers own history in the
political world has furnished her with
political knowledge and ambition seldom
found In ladies who have lived and Mingled
in political circles at Washington for years.
Miss Brown fully realized that the only
way she could become engaged in political
life was to persuade her father to reconsider
his determination to spend the renal der of
his life in privacy. She knew she had stern
opposition to encounter and overcome be-
fore she could hope to realize her fondest
dream.
The young daughter labored for almost
one year before she was rewarded with the
slightest encouragement; but she never
faitered nor seemed discouraged.
She was determined, and at last her

MISS CYNTHIA MISSIONER.

When salaries were raised all round the
other day In the Office of Commissioner
Beattie, who cleans New York's streets, or
leaves them dirty, the one woman in the
Office was the one person who did not share
in the raise; aud this in spite OF the fact that
Miss Westover, Commissioner Beattie's pri-
vate secretary, is in all probability the most
efficient person he has about him. When
the commissioner was sick while ago Miss
Westover filled his place for weeks, aud she
carries all the business of the office SO
clearly in her head that she can tell you at
a minutes notice where every man of the
street cleaning brigade is at work, and how
many tons Of ashes will be gathered from
any one block in any given time.
