Her White House Assignment.
Nowhite women had been released from
the farm this year to celebrate New
Years Day, and the woman police re
porter sat around like the fifth wheel
to a cart. There was nothing really go
ing but society, and that was on full
swing, and tw oor three gentlemauly youths
had been detailed to help out the society
editor, who looked as though she was ex-
periencing a cyclone, and didn't know
where she was going to come down.
Here said the city editor to the w.
P. R., ''go up to the White House as
fast as you can and help take costumes.
You'll have to get in there any way you

the lift. She caught green cable car. and
stumbled in and looked helpless, until
sympathetic youth who has sisters Of his
own spied her and most graclously helped
her to his seat.
Out-of-Town Visitors.
There were others going. to the White
House several ladies with what the So
ciety editor would have called Capitol Hill
toilettes, but which the w. p. R. thought
looked like nice Sunday clothes that Da-
kota Representatives, wives might wear.
They were nice satin dresses with vests
OF lace and they wore modest bonnets and
white gloves and had Sunday pucker on
their fresh Western faces. They are very
important people in ''our town at home.
and the reporter, being Western girl,
knows all about them and has a high re-
gard for their ways.
There were men, too who had struggled
into gloves and had their shoes polished,
and they all tried to look as though going
to the Presidents reception was all every
day affair with them. They may not have
really happened to have ever done it be-
fore, but they are "our best people, i'll
and so what's the difference when they
don't know anybody here and the people at
home don't know they don't?

Now, then,'' said the officer, turning
around and catching sight of her, you
step back. Go On away from here. I've

want' Go away, go away, don't bother
me again. Get off the portal

woman, in amazement, did you tell ME
to get off the earth?n But the officer
edged himself between her and the little
woman whose Banner wouldn't wave, and
managed to turn a smiling countenance
and undo any false impressions. His face
took on a lively grimace, and he looked
ready TO slay dragons for her who had
done up the force So many time in days
agone- Funny how it works.
Others Turned Down.

''you slide in with these people, If you
can. Be quick and they won't notice"
But these people happened to be swell
newspaper women from New York, who
'tlearned the ways OF Mr.. Thurber any
more than the shabby woman from Maine,
and the scheme fell through. They fell
back and left The Times woman once more
before the icy doorkeeper.
What are You trying to do, officer?'
said he.
Why, you know this lady," said he, in
affected amazement. ''she's got to 60 in,
She's sent up from The Times as reserve.
We all know her.

keeper.

Trials Of Woman Police Reporter
at the White House.
Not Allowed to Enter without Card
of AdmissiOn-She Had Plenty
of Company.

The Times has woman police reporter.
They don't call her that, but that is the
way the city editor makes her work. On
Thanksgiving day and Christmas, when
everyone else is off early and eating turkey
and mince pie, the woman police reporter
is asked To wait in the sanctum while the
city editor thinks UP, wild adventures for
her to 60 out on. s
She must chase around to five or six
different precincts and ask how the lieu.
tenants are enjoying themselves playing
checkers, and who called to get orders
for coal. Or she must go out across the
Eastern branch and sit down by the way
side to interview soine released work
house women when they come out and
straggle down to the terminus of the street
railway, and find out what resolutions they
have made about how to strike people for
the price OF more gin.
On, hers is merry lot, and she sharpens
fresh pencils every morning anu slips u
fresh page under the rubber band of her
note book, buttons up her coat close to her
chin and swings on Cattle car in pursuit
of a fresh sensation that will make the
Daper go like hot cakeS.z,a-

Objects to Society Work.

She don'texactly mind that kind OF work:
she has gotten used To it, but She does mind
being retired to society work on occasions
and to be supposed to drop all her idioms
and confine herself 10 sucn adjectives as
elegant, superb, beautiful, fetching, and
exquisite. She minds having to describe
color schemes for table decorations, and
peoples brllliants as diamonds, and the
agreeable flow OF silyery voices when all
she gets chance to hear is a cockney
butler, who drops his his and says toible
for table. Nevertheless she gets hurled
at functions once in a while and bec0Incs

Look, look! Here is the prettiest woman
OF the day. and the New York what-you-
callit man whirled the Times woman
around TO behold. There she stood at
the end OF the bridge, in all her finery.
She was the Chinese minister's wife and
her little painted face looked like doll
baby's. Stuck behind either ear and pro-
truding in front were nosegays of artificial
flowers. A straight, stiff gown of sap
phire blue satin hung around her, elabo-
rately embroidered in gold and crimson
and pink and white. Her tiny feet were
encased in shoes set on two high stills.
Her big, stolidlooking husband was be
hind her and in front OF her were two
youths OF the legation, bashfuIly trying to
summon the carriage and biting their lips
and twisting their hands in the skirt OF
their gowns as they waited.
