1t was Maury who led the german
that night-Maury and Miss Whiting.
The german was drawing to close.
Miss Whiting walked leisurely down
the long room. A dozen men watched
her breathlessly.
''She's going to take me out. [ can

''You conceited idiot! Can't you see
she's looking direct at me?" And Sa-
brien began to study the effect Of the
decorations.
Page clasped and unclasped his fin
gers nervously. He could not take his
eyes off of her. 1t was the first time
she had approached the old crowd that
night. She had danced the other fig

Davis looked at Sabrien ana they

straight ahead of him.
"'It'll be your turn next" Miss Whit

broke Pages spell. He looked UP and
smiled.
'Sure enough!''
YES she nodded, and then was
swept away.
But there were no more figures, and,
when a little later Page repr0ached
her with it, she only laughed.
Did you know it?' he demanded.

She ran her fingers caressingly over
the petals Of a Withered rose.

"Surely. Where shall it be?''
Miss Whiting drew her silk scarf
about her.
"Where should we go but to the TO

smiled again.

BRIEF SESSION OF THE SENATE
Only Formal and Necessary Business
Transacted.

washington. Dec. Inappropriate trib-
ute to the memory Of the late Vice Pres
ident Hobart was paid by the senate to-
dav at its first session Of the Fifty-sixth
congress. The session lasted only thirty
three minutes and only the most formal
and necessary business was transacted.
After the adoption Of the usual routine
resolutions and the administration to the
new members of the oath OF office. Sen
ator Sewell of New Jersey presented fit
ting resolutions upon the death of the
vice president, the resolutions were or
dered to be communicated to the house Of
REPRESENTATIVES. and then the session, on
motion of Mr.. Keane Of New Jersey, was
suspended.
Attention was called to the fact that no
emblems Of mourning appeared on the
vice presidents desk. This apparent
omission was explained by the fact that
the senate had been informed officially
OF the death Of Mr.. Hobart.
During the presentation Of the creGen-
tlals Of new senators. on motion Of Mr..
Cockrcn Of Missouri. the credentials Of
Mr.. Quay were referred 10 the committee
ON privileges and elections.
