marked member of congress, when / say
that congressman has troubles of his own.
It's fine thing to be statesman and show
up IN the national parade of greatness at the
capital, but there's a good deal more to it
than that. And one of the things that is
hardest to bear is what they saw about us.
Why, lady can't come up here and ask to
see member that there aren't half dozen
people to wink and shake the head and a
lot more OF the same to make him wish all
the women were in hades OF course, there
is some ground among us for remarks, just
as there Is among preachers and doctors
and hod carriers and everybody else human,
ana l know woman or two who find their
chief delight IN trying to involve congress-
men and other officials in any kind of fir
tation that comes handy. They are pretty
and persuasive, and before a man knows
what he is about he is down in the senate
restaurant paying for lunch and listening
to some kind OF a tale of woe.
But they miss it now and then, and
am glad to note an instance which occurred
only day or two ago. A member from a
northern state had been invited to call at the
ladys hotel the next day and she had asked
him to let her know if he could come He
wrote saying among other things: TO
morrow, madam, | hope to see the loveliest
woman in the whole world Naturally she
was pleased and told all the people around
the hotel about it. The next day he did not
appear, and the next she saw him at the
capitol and asked him what he meant by
treating her so.
"'What did do? he asked, innocently.
You said you were coming to see me,
she said, blushing at the remembrance of his
words.
