two sons-lads in their Jeens-Seott, q

strong mountain wagon, with two broad
deep seats, holding four persons and dog
with the greatest comfort, and, il neces
sary, taking in the fifth without dis
commoding even Scott, who was par
ticular about his seat when he had chased
jack rabbits till he was tired. One OF the
boys usually rode horseback, so We had
the convenience OF three horses for riding
IN the canyons and on mountain trails.
There was ample space under the seats
to stow away bags and shawl straps,
while tent, hammock, side saddle, etc,
were strapped on behind. We contrived
many little conveniences for the wagon
and tent that oiled the wheels of life
and saved needless friction. Thus we
put straps or ribbon inside the wagon

mountain sticks, umbrellas, riding whips
and other light impedimenta, and made

indeed, the social qualifications of his
wife are 80 much capital, and not infre-
quently a considerable degree of his popu-
larity with his constituents depends upon
her powers OF entertaining. Every man
and woman who visits Washington feels
entitled to go To the reception OF the wife
of his or her Representative. II that wife
is not a graceful or gracious woman; if she
does not know how to interest her callers
and make them feel at ease, she Ger
tainly does not advance her husbands in
terests or add to the likelihood Of his re
election. If she is d clever woman she
realizes this, and makes a point of being
equipped with social grace and tact
The wellknown adaptability of the Amer
lean woman is TO be remarked nowhere
moIe than in Washington. Oneis constan tly
meeting women who, having previously
lived perfectly simple domestic lives in pro-
yincial places, taking care of their children
and merely entertaining friends in a quiet
way, assume their position in Washington
society, where everything Is so much more
brilliant and complicated, with q kindly
grace and freedom from ignorant preten-
sion as charming In It's way as the more
finished manners of the genuine cosmOpoii-
tan. Coming directly from the country,
there are many things that they cannot be
expected to know, and they have too much
self-respeet and refinement to be ASHAMED
of not knowing what they never had the
opportunity to learn. In perfectly sim
pie, direct manner they set about finding
out what they ought to know and the find
it out in an incredibly short time. Indeed,
it is quite safe to say that nowhere in the
world is there such an educational social
center as Washington.

When Death Passed By.

King Death came striding along the road,
And he laughed aloudto see
How every rich mans mothers son
Would take to his heels and flee.
Duke, lord or merchant, off they skipped,
Whenever that he drew near;
And they dropped their guineas as wild
they ran,
And their faces were white with fear.
But the poor folk laboring in the fields
Watched him as he passed by;
And they took TO their spades and mat
tocks again,
And turned to their work wieha sigh.
Then farther alon g the road he saw
An old man, sitting alone;
His head lay heavy upon his hands
And Sorrowful was his moan.
Old age had shrivcIed and bent his frame;
Age and hard work together
Had scattered his locks and bleared his
eyes

it absolutely essential that the women
who are TO meet them socially shall not
lie obliged to present to them q wall Of
dense ignorance, upon the vital questions
Of the hour. Not only SO, but these diplo-
mats represent the social as well as the
political side OF their country. No am
baSsatlor is sent out who is not thor
ough man of the world in the best sense
of the term-distinguished by savoir faire
and n certain elegance of manner and bear
ing. The wives of these men are with.
out exception women of high culture and
education, and their homes centers of So
ciai grace and distinction. A society made
up cf the best representatives OF the best
nations cannot fail to be stimulating to
the feeblcst mind. Sir Julian PaUncefote,
for instance, the dean of the corps, is a
magnificent specimen, physically and in
tcllectually, of a well-deyeloped English
manhood. Lady Pamcefote was edu-
Gated in Brussels and Dresden, and is thor
oughly cnnversant with court life on the
continent as well as in England, and en-
tertsins at the embassy with charming
geniaIity and simplicity of manner.
No more distin guished and polished ex-
ample of a gentleman Of France could be
found than NJ. Jules Patenotre, the French
ambassador An exceptionally handsome
man, of athletic build, heis goodlinsuist,

and has been an extensive traveller. His

scholars and dlinguists, and his wife, descend

peer of her husband.
And so one might continue throughout
the corps, finding in the representatives
of even the smallest and least signifi-
cant countries persons of experience, re-
finement and education. Nor does this
agreeable state of affairs confine itself
to the ambassadors and ministers and
their families. The attaches and their
wives are almost without exception fine
linguists and highly accomplished men
and women. Senior Rengifo, for ex
ample, the wife of the charge d'affaires
of the Colombian legation-a beautiful
Washington girl-was educated at the
convent of the Sacred Heart, Paris, and
not only speaks French, Italian and Span

Then there those OF totally diff
ferent civilization from our own, who
add vastly TO the picturesqueness and
variety of the social life. Mrs, Yang Yu,
the wife of the preceding minister from
China, was the first Chinese woman to
mingle freely in Washington society, but
became SO popular and was really such

WASHINGTON WOMEN
AS TAKERS.

No observing person can mingIe long In
Washington society without discovering
that theconveTsationo of its women is gauged
to higher plane; that it is broader more
flexible and cosmopolitan than is usual
with society women OF other cities. Upon
little reflection the reasons for this are
sufficiently obvious Women who are Hv-
ing in tie capital of their country, where
all the serious questions of the nation are
decided, naturally have the privilege or
conversing with tile men who decide these
questions, and as matters of Importance

other countries. it follows that their con-
yersation must lave q wide scope, and
touch not only upon American politics, but
