Washington, March %. = Society
here has already settled to its satisfac-
Kinley and Mrs. Hobart, but it is still
in doubt about the ladies Of the new
cabinet. Some two or three or them
ike Mrs. Sherman, have been familiar
figures here for years, and, of course
they are known quantities. About the
others there is some doubt, although as
a matter of fact there is little need fol
the folks who comprise the smart set tc
worry about it, except as a matter OF
diversion. The influence of the cabi-
net women upon Washington society is
considerably overrated, the bulk of en-
tertaining being contributed by the
noI-omcial residents, the well-to-do
folks who live here, fascinated year
after year by the social atmosphere of
the place.
A woman who has been a figure in
society life here for six administrations,
that is since Grants time, but who
passes for thirty-fve without much
difficulty among newcomers, has class
flied the ladies of the new cabinet.
There is the way l have arranged

Lily, Jessie and Madeline-and every
one of them, married and unmarried
is a musician of exceptional skill, a
talent inherited from the mother. Mrs
Garys social successes in Baltimore
are a guarantee of her ability to more
than sustain her position here.
Mrs. Gage, like Mrs. Long, is her
husbands second wife, her sister being
the first Mrs. Gage. She is immensely
fond of entertaining, but not in a large
or snowy way, but in the pleasantest
possible manner, that is, having a
chosen circle of friends and concentrate
ing all Of her kindliness upon them
washington life is new to her. but she
has adaptibility, and with a fair in
come at her disposal that means a rose
covered pathway.
Mrs. McKenna is the domestic NC,
nan of the cabinet. also the intellec-
tual one. Of German birth and raising
she is a great housekeeper, and con-
siderable Of student. She is not a
society woman, and her entertaining
| think, will be confined to the few
formal dinners which cabinet members
are expected to give.
Miss Flora Wilson, the head CT the
/ household Of the secretary of agricuI-
ture, is a clever girl, not in the societ,
but in the broader sense. After hel
mothers death, five years ago, when
she was but twenty-one, she managed
her fathers home, and also filed the
office OF librarian in the Iowa agricuI-
| tural college. She will not be a social
queen, but she will surely be a favor
ite among thinking p, ople."

ton Star" It is one Of the several
pleasant things connected with the
growing up what was a small brother.
Girls call that never called before.
The debutantes cover you with delicate
attentions. If you are of an unsus-
ricious disposition you will think the
charm lies in yourself; but if you are
moderately sharp you will see through
it. You are invited to small affairs;
the buds that reason will tell you you
would not be thought an addition
were it not for the halo Of glory that a
young man brother poises above your
brow. You see SO much of the fine side
OF girl nature that you gradually re-
form the rather severe judgments
that you made from your own exDe-
fiences with your own soX; perhaps
girls are better than you believed after
all. There is not much danger of your
ever having too good an opinion Of
girl nature, however. For May will il
the course of q nice, cosy afternoon tea
chat tell you how untidy Bess and DodC
and Lily are, and how Katy and Julia
and Clara ard all the other girls"
smoke cigarettes, and how Lizzie and
Helen and Anna and Maud let the men
hold their hands. And Bess or Julia
or Helen will drop in some morning
and tell yJu Just about the same thing
only that Nays name will appear in all
the lists Of sinners and the speakers
name will be conspicuous by its alb
ae1cc. Then you realize that the COM
ing girl is not much more of a saint
than you are. They talk tC you in 4
ccnfiding sort Of way, rather as if you
were the elder sister that they would
like TO have YOU be some day.

The Alger house here will be the most

and is one of the handsomest and
cleverest girls that ever came to the
city. There are two married daughters
and two sons, and with the grand

a bouseful.

THE PASSING OF THE LAMP.

A cause for thankfulness is the re-
action from the piano lamp craze.
Those who encountered long, narrow
rooms with a full half dozen of these
awkward furnishings many were
guilty-had something to answer for
inducing soto voce profanity from
much enduring men. Not that the
craze has subsidized; it is only lessened.
One piano lamp is useful; but to null
tiply that and stand them about as if
they had walked out to take their
places in a waltz, or to see how many
intruders into a half-darkened room
they could trip up in a day, is rather
too much. Then, their pagoda tops of
monstrouB girth deluged the room with
boisterous color and put everything
else out Of countenance. If ANYTHING
they are more perverse and ungainIy
than the corner easel.
The banquet lamp modestly rears it's

the list" she said, and the next year
will prove that | am not far from right,
although ! have had to depend upon
the say-so of other folks for some of
my information Mrs. Sherman, of
course, is we'll known by all regular
Washingtonians. She has been here
for more than thirty years, and next
year she will celebrate her golden
wedding. She probably knows more
about the ms and outs of Washington
life than any other woman, and when
she is in a reminiscent mood she is a
yeritable history.
Many people may not know it, but
she has some of the finest jewels in
the country. When General Sherman
and his daughters were travelling
abroad the khedive of Egypt presented
the girls with some very rare gems.
On their return the girls said they
could not afford to own such magnifi-
cent baubles, so their aunt bought
them, paying a very fancy price. She
is fond of such things, and of costly
Clothes but she never could be called
a snowy or ostentatious woman. Nat
urally her house will be the social
headquarters of the diplomatic corps,
and her long experience in Washington
life makes her an ideal hostess for the
fastidious representatives IF the Older
nations.
Mrs. Long, | think, will be the
beauty Of the cabinet. She has got
a sweet, strong face, not pretty. but
something better than that Sht is
the second wife of the secretary of the
navy, you know, and I remember
when she came here bride back il
the early sos. She looks scarcely
bit older than the two daughters of tn,
secretary by his first wife. They were
little girls when Mrs. Long was her,
before. At that time her husband
was congressman. She displayed con
siredabe social talent then, and wa

A group was gathered in country

A group was gathered in a country
store discussing politics. George Wha-
LEI the man Of wonderful knowledge
and achievements, although a stanch
democrat, so departed from the de-
claration Of principles that one of the
men said, You don't know a thing
about the democratic platform"
Don't I? Know the democratic
platform? Why, I built it myself.
There wasn't a stick of anything but
solid popular. A thousand people were
on that platform and it never settled
a hundreth part Of an inch. Talk Of me
about lot knowing anything about the
platform! If you'll come down to the

HOW TO KEEP THE EYES BRIGHT

Never rub your eyes nor allow your
children to do so from their cradles.
Wells are bad for the sight. especially
those spotted or covered with a pattern;

read, write or work longer than two
hours without resting your eyes and
closing them fully five minutes
