certainly. Then she walked into her hus-
bands Office and asked for an interview.
At the close of that conversation the secre-
tary issued an order dismissing the woman
who had broken up a once happy home,
and if the civil service rules and some other
red tapish instructions can be got over the
injured wife will get the place vacated
by her late rival. The infatuated husband,
relieved of the constant presence of his
charmer, is gradually recovering his senses.
II Told You Sol"
There is still some curiosity in the pub
lie mind to know whether or not Mrs. Car
Isle will have a chance to say II told you
so" before this administration comes to an
end. 1t will be remembered that she was
opposed to her husbands leaving the senate
for the purpose of becoming secretary OF
the treasury. In the senate, she said, his
| place was fixed. He was one of the leaders
on the Democratic side. There he could
push himself forward as one Of the masters
of the tariff and other economic questions.
He could nave leisure for study, could do
his duty without wearing himself out men
tally and physically. If there was any
thing better IN store for him at the n
of his party, he would be just as likely to
win this from the senate floor as from the
Office of a cabinet minister. So.
Mrs. Carlisle spoke of the risks Of serv-
ing as secretary of the treasury. If the ad-
m~inistration made mistakes, the secretary
could not hope to escape his share of the
responsibility. If he were to be unfortu-
nate enough to quarrel with the president,
doubtless his political career would come
to an end. If he remained in the senate,
she argued, kentucky would send him

But IL he voluntarily stepped aside and
another were elected to his seat it would
be almost impossible to displace the new
conner should the desire to do SO arise.
While Secretary Carlisle and the president
are still on good terms. and Mr.. Carlisle
seems to be doing very well in the treasury
department, there are observers of men
and things who say Mrs. Carlisle will still
get u chance to call attention to her proph-
ecy, pointing to it's fultillment with Il Ger
tain pride il not with satisfaction.
Mrs. Gresham is another woman who is
honored by her husbands fullest cont-
dence in matters of state, Mrs. Gresham
knows all the ms and outs Of the diplo-
matte relations of this government. Tho
secretary tells her what is going on. and
when he In troubled by any matters he
never fails to ask her advice. She has her
own opinions. and these arc sometimes
quite different from those entertained by
the secretary. In the Hawaiian matter, for
instance, it is gossiped about the Arlington
| hotel that Mrs. Gresham did not agree
with her husband. and that they had sew
eral good nstursd but earnest arguments
about the matter, in which the woman
showed that shs was quite able to take care
Of herself.
Hard Work to Keep u secret.
Luckily Secretary Gresham is not a man
to insist that every ono about him 4 al co
incide with his views. He likes opposition
and il Mira Gresham did not like the plan
to place Queen Lii back on the throne OF
Hawaii she gave such arguments in sup
port Of her view that even the secretary OF
state must have been compelled to ransaok
