This couples fondness for little chill

in part by a chapter closed more than
twenty years ago, which even yet they
cannot open without a lingering grief.
Two children were born to Mr.. and Mrs.
Mckinley. The elder was named Kate.
Before the younger, Ida, was born, Mrs.
Saxton, Mrs. McKinley's mother, died.
The blow was followed by the death OF
Kate, then child of between three and
four, and by the death OF Ida, who had
lived only few months. OF sensitive
and high-strung nature, Mrs. McKinley's
health gave way under these afflictions
With her husband she left their little
house and for a time lived in the Saxton
homestead. She has never been a well
woman since, although her health is bet
ter now than it has been for years.

The Secretary of the Treasury and his ac-
complished wife were invited some months
ago to visit their friend, Mrs. Bryan, of
this city, during inauguration. before Mr..
Gage was spoken or thought of inconnection
with any Cabinet position. And as the
invitation was accepted il stlll holds good,
and Mrs. Bryan has the lonor of welcom-
ing the new Secretary and his wife.
Mr.. Gage has been identified with pretty
much al the prominent reforms of the
day, and is an active investigator. Mrs.
Gage has entered heartily and sympathet-
icany from the womans point OF view
into all these pursuits. During the life
time Of the late David Swing Mr.. and
Mrs. Gage were constant attendants at
his services in Central Music Hail. which,
while claiming to be orthodox, leaned
toward more liberal interpretations. Mr..
Gage Is not a man to accept opinions froni
any source without investigation, and Mrs.
Gage is such a womanly woman and has
such confidence in his judgment that she
follows wherever he leads.
There is a pretty romance connected
with the marriage of Mrs Lloyd G. Gage
to her late husbands brother, Mr.. Lyman
j. Gage. Mrs. Cages first husband was
stitution, and when he married the fasci-
mating Miss Lansing, of Albany, she was
well aware that the marriage would bring
with il years of devotion 10 an invalid.
When the sad end came there grew up
friendship between the widow and her
husbands brother. who could well sympa-
thize with her. He, toe, was widower.
Mr.. Gage, however, did not find time to
propose marriage until be found himself
helpless in Florida. as the result of an ac-
cidenu. Mrs. Lloyd Gage was in San Fran
cisco.
Business interests being for the time put
aside, Mr.. Lyman Gage had time TO Con-
slider his affections. What more natural
than TO turn 60 the one woman whom he
knew SO well? There had been a Cor
respOndence Kept up between them ever
since Mr.. Cages brothers death, but little
of sentiment bad crept into it. Now the
busting business man OF Chicago had the
time TO report his deliberate conclusion.
He hoped she would agree with him. He
begged her to reply by telegraph Yes"

Jeanette Alexander, daughter of Henry
M. Alexander, the lawyer, a grandchild OF
Archibald Alexander, of Princeton She
was married nineteen years ago in the
Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, by Dr.
John Hall.
The Alexanders have wide reputation
in the Presbyterian denomination. As a
hostess Mrs. McCook is a great success.
She is conservative, home-loying wonl-
an, with high ideals OF family duty. Her
tastes are highly cultivated and literary,
and she has always taken a prominent
part in the Charitable work OF her church.
Miss McCook would make her debut in
washington next season. Last spring Miss
Mccook accompanied her aunt, Mrs. Charles
D. Alexander, t9 Russia, and was present
at the coronation festivities. She was
most favorably received while abroad by
those having the entree OF the American
colony.
The holder Of. the Navy portfolio, ex-
Gov. John ID. Long, has been twice mar

of Hingham, Mass. She left him two

she was teacher in the high school at
bingham. That was some eleven years
ago. and she still keeps up her interest
in her old pupils. The bunch of white
vjoiets which never fail to greet her on
the anniversary of her wedding day testify
to the continued affection OF her old pupils
who have never once failed to send them
with loving greeting. Mrs. Long is in
her thirty-seventh year. She is the daugh-

Monnastes, the Oregon pioneer, has sent
to Mr.. Mckinley a unique present in the
shape of tomahawk and pipe of peace
such as the chiefs of the Umatillas and
Nez Perees used to carry in early days.
This tomahawk was fashioned by Mr..
Monnastes with his own hands. The blade.
which is the only part not made Of native
Oregon product, is at least made OF Amer
lean cast steel, The blade has a razor edge,
with which to cleave the heads of enemies.
The hack OF the head is followed into a
pipe bowl, and the handle, which is OF
stained Oregon maple, is tipped with a
silver cap and has a mouthpiece made from
the horn of an oregon steer. The handle
that projects through the steel head is
fitted with cap, the silver for which was
obtained from oregon ore. The blade OF

Mrs Gageis tall, and has fine carriage
Her manners are quiet, though cordial
and pleasing She is a brunette, with
dark eyes, an olive complexion, and dark
brown hair sprinkied with gray. While
she enjoys large acquaintance with the
leading people of Chicago, she has no

Cages hospitality entertained many old

the Longs will probably attend All Souls
Church while resident in Washington.
Mrs Long is a Daughter OF the American
Revolution and much interested in the chill
dren's department of that body. in which
she is often called on for advice.
She is a good whip and drives about
bingham in her own sleigh, and She goes
skating with her boy and encourages him

She is charitable without condescension.
In word, all her friends love her dearly
and rejoice that they are to he so well

Mrs. Long was in such delicate health that
she was unable to enter into many Of the
social gayeties of the season. She dresses
In quiet taste and wears her fine suit OF

Mrs McKenna, wife of Judge Mckenna,
of San Francisco, will not come into the
Cabinet circle without some experience, ,as
she was here with her husband during his
Congressional career. She is said 10 lie
the handfomest woman OF her age in San
Francisco, and she will no doubt add

ladies who compose the new Cabinet circle.
Her beauty is of that unusual kind, two
fold, combining regularity of feature with
charm of expression. On being asked TO de-
scribe her, one said. 81 cannot remember
her as either dark or fair, but shall never
forget her as having the sweetest face 1

Mrs. McKenna and Mrs. Leland Stanford
were great friends when Judge Nick emma
was in Congress and Gov. Stanford in the
Senate. she frequently assisted Mrs. STAN
ford at social evetts, ,and was often withher
as a favored guest, especially on occasions.

Never by the widest stretch OF the So
ciety inIaginadon could Mrs. Stanford
be, in her youth even, called d beauty,
but she was very popular because she
helped to do so many good things Tor
other people. They kept open house dur
ing the season, and entertained in the
most lavish style: at more formal affairs,
indeed, Mrs. Stanford's table shone with
gold and silver plate. But much as wealth
can do, IL cannot save the lives OF those
near and dear. The loss OF Mrs. Stan
ford's only son cast q gloom over her
which nothing has ever since teen able To
lift. Instead OF nursing her sorrows,
as many other bereaved ones have done,
both the ex-senator aud Mrs. Stanford
built monuments TO his memory. and the
great university at Palo Alto is living
witness that sorrow may be devoted To
noble ends.
Since. the ex-Senator's death Mrs. Stan
ford has had as many perplexities and
difficult financial problems to solve as If
she were struggling for mere subsistence.
And no DOUBT the values of her husbands
millions have shrunk through one cause
and another. She already has made great
personal sacrifices for the good of the great
university, and respect and honor will fol-
low her wherever she goes or whatever fate
betides her.

Senator Spooner, returns after an interval
of six years Mrs. Spooner's home was al
ways noted for the refined and cultivated
people whom she drew around her with
the magic of her fine voice. The young
men of the family were musical also, and
among mother and sons q very interest
ing concert could be gotten up on short no
tice. Mrs Spooner used to say that she
never gave dinner parties because all cater
ers thought wine an indispensable ad djunct,
and she would not put the cup to her
brother slips. Perhaps sfashionmaya advance
far enough along the road to total absti-
nence so that little dinners can be given
and nothing more exciting offered than
