JULIA STEVENSON. LETITIA STEVENSON
which regulates precedence in calling.
The senator wife must call on the pres
ident's wife and the families of the cab
met officers. The latter calls must be
made on cabinet day, which has always
been Wednesday. she must call at the
homes of the justices of the supreme
court, on the wives of all the more re-
Gently elected senators (whom she is
prone to patronize), and she must leave
cards on those members of the corps
diplomatiQue who are narried-or rep
resent themselves to be. She then draws
the long satisfied sigh of the good and
faithful servant, and having given of
her time and strength and of her gra-
ciousness she fixes her day and prepares
for the less blessed mission of receiving.
In this she must yield her own pref
erence to the comfort and convenience
of that tyrant, society.
If she wants to be popular in the ex-
elusive resident set, she must join a
reading club or Shakespeare class or
manage to become one of the patronesses
of the Children s hospital ball.
When she sees her name even at the
end Of list which is headed by Mrs.
Cleveland and Lady Pauncefote. she
feels that life holds little more that she
could desire.
And now, with her mornings devoted
to the readings and the hospital society,
she starts on her career. She gets home
from her mornings occupation in time
to dress for fashionable luncheon at Q
"a luncheon at which she picks up the
small gossip of her set, and where scan
dial goes up one side of the festive board
as the salad is passed down the other.
From this she rushes home, laden with
flowers and her luncheon souvenir, in
time to make additions to her toilet and
start ON a round of calls, stopping in at
tea where she has clasp of tho
hand and word from her hostess as she
walks through the almost deserted par
lor into the dining room beyond, where
the crowd is always to be found strug
Cling fer fried oyster or glass of
punch. She makes her way around, a
word here, smile there, glass of
punch in a corner, and then she is off.
Another w@rd with the deserted hostess,
who must keep her position at the door,
and away she goes to a similar ''func
tom ON the same block. She makes
from Is to 90 calls in an afternoon,
"shows" at several teas and gets home
in time to dress for a dinuer ut the
house of another senator or mem Der of
the cabinet. From this she goes to
White House reception, where she stays
a short time, stopping on her way home
for a moment at another less pretentious
but more exclusive entertainment given
by some one who ie not in the official
circle.
This is typical day in the life of
society woman in Washington. Is it any
wonder that one was heard to say at the
end of last season that her acquaintance
would crowd a church, but her friends
would not fill the pulpit?

A BIG AMERICAN BANK.
An OutgrOwth of the Pan-American Con-
gress Being Considered.

An Outgr0wth of the Pan-American Con-
gress Being Considered.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE house
committee on banking and currency
yesterday considered the project for
an international American bank,
which was one of the recommends
tions of the Pan-American congress,
and was largely the idea of the late
James G. Blaine. Among the would
be incorporates are Cornelius Bliss
and Charles R Flint of New York;
I. jefferson Coolidge, Andrew Carne-
gle, ]. s. Clarkson, P. D. Armour and
M. M. Estee, of California. The bill
puts the capital stock at S., 900, 600 and
authorizes the bank to act as the fnan-
ciaI agent of any government, state or
municipality or corporation; to handle
bonds, etc, but bars it from issuing
notes TO circulate as money in the
United States.
Comptroller Eckels addressed the
committee, stating that he favored
the esta bllshment of such bank,
under proper restrictions. 1t would
give to the United States, he said,
cheaper exchange with South Aineri-
can repu blicS, and enable them to
compete successfully with European
merchants and manufacturers. All
South American exchange is now
handled through London and other
European centerS and a small savin 2
in exchange often determined who
should do the business of a country.
The international bank, he thought
should not be permitted to issue circu-
iation in the United States, and it
should be under restrictions, that it
would not be given an advantage over
other banks under government con-
troll, in case it should decide to do all
its business in the United States

English Papers Now Think 1t 1s Good
Thing to Have in the House.
LONDON, Jan. ian editorial in
the Times suggests that a strong hint
from the United States to President
Crespo would be opportune to con-
vince him of the grotesqueness of the
idea that America will support any
demands Venezuela chooses to make.
England" says the Times, sis will
ing for any direct settlement, but
Venezuela must take the initiative.
The obvious course is for Venezuela to
ask the United States to place her
once more in communication with
Great Britain. If President Cleveland
acceded to such request, 1t would go
far to restore the feeling of amity
the United States prior to his mes
sage"
The Times further says: ''It may
be disagreeable to reopen negotiations
with Venezuela, but surely, we are
willing to make a sentimental sacri-
fee in order to retain the friendship
of the United States"
The Post believes that negotiations
with President Kruger are proceed

An editorial in the same paper eX-
presses pleasure that the Transvaal
affair is smoothing the roughness be-
tween England and the United States.

quite clear that we shall have Ameri-
cas- good will in the direct negotia-
tions with Venezuela"
