Mainep to the sailors as they fired at the enemy's ships. That is not a bit like my husband, who has not an atom of revenge in his entire makeup. I can fancy his say- ing The Maine is avenged when the vic- tory was gained, but not the cry of yen- geanee he is credited with.
 MT. Wainwright in his letters to me since has said: T am much more proud of the lives we have saved than of the ships we sunk "
 asked Mrs Wainwright if she had seen the pictures of Admiral Cervera dressed in Captain Wainwright's garments, and she laughed as merrily as a girl, and said: NO, but as my husband Is very tall, and Ad- miral Cervera is short and stout, imagine they were misfits of a pronounced order"
 What do you think I ventured "the government will offer your gallant husband in recognition of his magnificent services?' But my charming listener was too clever to commit herself to a newspaper woman. With irresistible coquetry she demurely said, while her dancing eyes disproved her words:
 We cannot tell. You know thirty-6ve years after the civil war the government presented the heroes who did conspicuous service in that conflict with nice little bronze medals. Perhaps, if we live, Mr. Wainwright will get medal, but you know he only did his duty anway-perhaps he will get an advance of several numbers read a letter from a naval officer, who is ten numbers ahead of my husband and he says: I hear Wainwright is to be jumped over our heads. If he is I want to be the first to congratulate him..
 What did you do, Mrs. Wainwright l asked, "when you heard of your husband s splendid conduct?"
 q hardly know" and the lovely eyes were suffused with tears. "I wasn't surprised. but I was so happy, and, oh, so happy to know he was safe. Then when I got lit- tie calmer I thought of my boy, Richard Wainwright, the fourth, and l concluded the United States might well have another of the stock in the navy, so just put my bonnet on and went personally to see the president. The president received me cor dially, complimented me on my husbands gallantry, and I said: Mir President, have come to ask for au appointment at Annapolis for Richard Wainwright, the fourth, and if he receives it he will be the fourth wainwright in direct line to serve his country in the United States navy
 ''rhe president smiled and said: Richard Wainwright, the fourth, shall have his ap- pointment at once. I myself will make it. Here he is now" continued Mrs Vain wright "This is our Dick" as slender, dark-haired young fellow of about II bowed before me. The fourth Wainwright is the image of his father-tall, straight and dark, with the keen eyes and frank, fearless gaze of his distinguished sire
 The only daughter, Miss Louise Vain wright is charming girl under 20, her mothers constant companion. Miss Vain wright has marked artistic talent and IS pursuing her studies in Washington, where she entered the Art league two years ago, and has already won a scholarship with a $20O accompaniment. I sat few moments longer chatting with Mrs. Wainwright about the progressive moment of our sex, and found her that adorable creature, the woman of really strong mind, alive to the questions of vital importance that are so largely controlled by women, but so exquis- itely feminine in her every attribute that she is as far removed from the shrieking sisterhood as it is possible to imagine.
