The lot OF the wife of high government
official-that is a horrid word; it ought
to be officer, always-is not altogether a
happy one; or, rather, in some cases, it is
decidedly an unhappy one. Let a single
case only be recalled. The government Off
Ger is very important, and he is very able
and strong and all that; and doubtless
almost anything can be excused in such q
case, for his heart, when one really gets at
it, is true. Yet, almost any of US might
insist, and especially is this true OF Us
women, that man, no matter how great,
ought not to forget the little amenities OF
everyday life, OF the mornings and of the

ourselves, the expected attentions among
ourselves; in fact, OF all the little things
which really so TO make up the big things
of life. There is no reason why, because a
prominent government officer, or even a
Cabinet minister or a President for that
matter should not be just as deferential
good natured and uniformly agreeable and
considerate to his wife as the most dev oted
lover in the world. At all events, it seems
so to Bab. Ruth Mashmore and number OF

There are very few who do not remem-
ber the circumstances which led to the
resignation OF Roscoe Conkling and T. c.
Piatt from the Senate. After the eleu-
tion OF their successors was announced
Conkling and platt met. The former said:
This ends me so far as politics is con-
cerned. l shall never again allow the use
OF my name in connection with any political
office. l am done for all time with the
game of politics.
And l." said Mr.. Platt, will re-
enter politics at this very moment and
stay in until die-maybe to get even
with certain perfidious scoundrels who
have deceived uS, and maybe TO go back
to the Senate OF the United States"

Members in one of the cloakrooms OF the

The news of the death of Minister Willis
at Honolulu, which was exclusively an

was received with surprise and regret
at the Capitol, where he was formerly so
well and favorably known Mr.. Willis
served in Congress for several years as a
member from Louisville, having been the
immediate predecessor of Asher G. Carrtb.
He was beaten for denomination at the
primary election in 1885, after the warm
est fight for nomination ever known, even
i'll the frequently lurid politics of Kentucky.
The whole fight against him originated
from the retention in office of the lady
postmistress OF Louisville. The Louisville
Courier Journal led the battle against
Willis, and it was right royal one He
was finally defeated by less than two
hundred votes. Mr.. Willis remained in
| private life until the President sent him
out to Ha waiito succeed Paramount Blount

Mrs. Draper is noted for the lavish hos

friends, but it is IL habit of hers to do
gracious little acts of courtesy sub rosa.
on the occasion of one of her recent
luncheons the favors We're chocolate bon
bons, forIaed into books, with the names
of noted authors printed in gold letters
on the sweets The dozen tiny volumes
were arranged on two shelves with knobs
to stand on and finished With pink rib
bon bow. After the luncheon, Mrs Draper
had caller. She wasn't much" to look
at, and the only thing the generals wife
knew about her was that she had come on
business, and was apparently attending
TO it the very best she knew how.
A reference was made to the luncheon
that gave the lady OF the house the
chance to do a .gracefrl act, and she did
it. Picking up set of the bonbon
books, she presented them to her visit
or, with just the right sort OF a smile, so
that the woman in the homemade gown
went off as pleased as child with a
Christmas doll. And the lovliest thing
about it was that when the woman told
the incident, and showed the sweets, her

There are people in Washington society
and the y areyery numerous, too-who wish,
with many OF the public men here. that the
Hon. Robert r. Hit might be chosen United
States Senator from Illinois; and this, it
may be admitted. is owing to their extreme
fondness for Mr.. and Mrs Hit socially 1t
is easy to recall what a deep and general
solicitude was expressed when Mr.. Hit was
so very i'll, and this was not due merely to
the fact that the entertainments OF the Hits
were notably hospitable for, while this is
perfectly true, society felt truer and a
warmer interest than that. It has heenex-
pected by many that MIR. HIT would be Sc
iected by Mai. Mckinley for Secretary
OF State, and the appropriateness of this Sc
lection has been universally admitted.
This is not supposed to be the idea at pres
ent. however, and as he isnow IN Springfield
asking for the support OF the Illinois
legislature and presenting, as many be-
lieve, more suitable candidate than any
one else, the friends of Mr. Hit and Mrs
Hit, as well, are hoping that this great
honor may come to them.
It is mistaken notion that it does not
count for great success in political life TO
enjoy the loyal and gracious support of a
gifted helpmeet Mrs Hit knows better
than almost any one of our leading society
women, or, indeed, than almost any one of
our political leaders, who really accomplish
things, how much the reception and the
dinner have to do with success. 1t is quite
proper that it should be so. 1t is an old
ying that man is twice a man whenheis
married: and why shouldn't this be espe-
ciaIly so when a man occupies a high Off
cial position?
