Miss Margot Tenant, the brilliant
young Englishwoman, who is said to be the
original of "DOdo,' has at last permit
ted herself to be won by one of her many
suitors. She is to be married in June to
the Home Secretary, Mr.. Asquith Miss
Tenant is the third daughter of Sir
Charles Tenant, wealthy landowner,
and one of her brothers is Mr. Asquiths
private secretary. She is very
accomplished and intellectual girl,
is devoted to music and pictures,
and is an excellent horsewoman. She
and her future husband are both members
of that coterie of fashionable and politi-
cal people with brains who call them
selves souls" Mr.. Balfour is said to be
the most eligible match left in the group.
Mr.. Asquith is widower of forty-tw0.
While "Dodo' in her brightness and
merrymakiug qualities is like Miss Ten
nant, it should be said that otherwise the
character does not at all resemble her.
Women carpenters are scarce, but out
IN California there is one who is a living
refutation to the charge that not one of
her sex can drive a nail straight. Her
name is Mrs. j. G.. Lambert, and she has
not only acquired taste for carpenter
ing, such as men have, but she has set at
naught all her mothers labOrs in early
years to make a housekeeper of her.
Some eight years ago her husband bought
a plaing mill in Monterey, but Mrs Lam
bert seldom entered the establishment, as
the foreman did not believe in women be-
ing where men were working. The lore
man, however, did not prove satisfac-
tory, and things were running at skies
and sevens, when Mrs Lambert peremp-
torily dismissed him and decidedito run
the mill herself That was some
years ago, and Mrs. Lambert has
been running the mill ever since with
success. She starts the machinery in the
morning and runs the hand saw, Jig saw,
and all the other saws like a first class
workman. She has learned lathe turning
and the sort of chisel work that results
in ornamental corners for door frames,
and makes the most perfect fancy blocks
in the mill. Mrs. Lambert is said to
have very agreeable manner, ana talks
while at her work bench as NATURAL, as
other women, She says that she likes
carpentering and hates housekeeping. and
allows her niece to manage that depart
ment of her home. Her husband is very
proud of her. She never wears hat
while at work Her hands are brown and
knotted with no ornaments of any kind,
except the plain gold band of wifehood.
As a rule, says the New York Tribune,
the stranger visiting Washington sees
very little of the inner social life, and is
apt to Judge of its society by the big po-
litical functions which are open 10 all
Corners, and which are necessarily com
posed of the most hetero reneous ele-
ments This constitutes the first or outer
circle as it were, into which every one
can enter who owns decent gown and a
card case. The entertainments in this
circle are the various receptions held by
those in official life; the levees at the
white house, and of course the congress
sional galleries are opee to all corners.
Next comes the regular political society,
which is also very general in its character,
and into which it is easy to effect an
entree. Decidedly more exclusive, how
ever. is the circle within, a charming
coterie composed Of the old residents and
army and navy magnates, who have been
in the different departments until they
have become completely identified with
Washington life; who live modestly, en-

fashion, and VINO mix more or less with
