One OF the distinctive fads Of Washington
society is to have pets. Not Just ordinary
pets, but something much out OF the ordi-
nary as possible. The Cat Show in New
York has aroused the greatest amount
OF interest IN Washington, and there has
been considerable talk of getting up a
rival show of pets in the near future
just what may eventually come of this
plan remains TO beseen. quiteprobabIe
that 1T will end only in talk, as a fancy
that attacks society on the eve of the sum-
mer exodus is not likely TO have sufficient
staying power to survive until the autumn.
when the return Of society to town might
possibly give chance for its materializa-
tion.
Abundant material could be found in
society for show of pet animals. It Is not
unlikely that Mrs Cleveland might contrib
ute several Of her household pets. as there
is no end to the animals sent to the White
House as pets for the Presidents wife and
children. AS to dogs, their name is legion
in this respect. They have been sent Mrs
Cleveland from every section of this coun-
try and Europe. For the most part she has
given them away almost as quickly as thev
have arrived. Had she kept all the queer
pets that in a mistaken sense of Kindness
have been forwarded to the White House
Congress would have had to be petitioned
for funds TO properly care for the execu

The Secretary of the Treasury and Mrs.
Carlisle never leave Washington for any
great length of time, aud it is likely that
this summer will see a repetition OF the
plan adopted last season, of going a way
TO the nearby resorts for week or two at
time. This also depends, however, upon
the amount OF important official matter
demanding the personal attention of the
Secretary or Treasury. Fortunately for
the President and his Cabinet there is no
extra session Of Congress TO demand their
time and attention in Washington las was
the case during the hot weather year
since.

al the residence of Mrs. Smell After the

introduced n bill to prohibit minors from
going on the streets alone after 80 D. M
In presenting her bill Mrs. McCreery
made some very painful and startling
statements of the low state of morals
amongst many children who are found
upon the street after dark. She urged Tie
club TO take some united action upon the
subject-to present a bill to the next
Congress asking that law be enacted TO
restrain young people from wandering
over the streets unprotected, and to have
the school and church bells rung at some
specified evening hour as a warning TO
minors who had homes TO be at home.
The bill pIeeentcd by Mrs. McCTeery pro-
vides for the arrest of children found on
the streets alone alter the prescribed hour,
and for their better care and protection in
some institution specially provided for the
purpose. DR.. Mary Morrison will speak on
this bill at the next meeting.
