discovered that the latter laid her dolly
on the table and, carelessly dropping
her handkerchief over it, picked up
both.
The hostess, in a most charming
manner, turned to her guest and said:
Pardon me. my dear Mrs. -, but
am afraid you have my most ex-
quisite dolly in your handkerchief. 1t
is SO fine am afraid it will be crush
ed and therefore call your attention
to your inadvertence in taking it up
with your handkerchief"
The guest was not in the least abash.
ed, and with a laugh she shook out her
handkerchief. and the dolly fell back
on the table, whereupon she exclaimed:
"Why, dear me, so l have! How very
careless of me!'
There were significant glances all
around the table, but no more doilies
were lost during that season.

One of the leading jewelers. of the
capital was somewhat taken aback one
day, says Washington paper, by re-
ceiving from the wife of high official
an order for half a dozen gold nails
with a jewel in the head of each and a
dozen small gold chains. He inquired
the uses to which the nails were to be
put, when his patron said:
You see, have a number of very
valuable objects of art, which, al
though they are very expensive, are
very small and easily handled. AS the
wife of an official of the government,
am obliged to open my house during
the season to the constituents Of my
husband and the Washington curiosity
seeking public in general. On my re-
ception day. therefore, my house is
crowded with all sorts of people, and
last winter | suffered the loss of sew
eral of my most valuable treasures.

some plan by which l can keep my
objects of art outside Of my cabinets
and yet not have them stolen, for that

concluded that l must either nail down
some of the bric-a-brac or chain it Sc

This womans predicament is not an
unusual one in Washington official Cir
cles The kleptomaniacs who commit
the most aggravated depredations are
for the most part well known leaders
in society.
One winter social circles in Wash
ington were greatly bewildered and
shocked by the doings of one of the
best known women in official circles.
A number of hostesses began to miss
valuable doilies from their dinner ia
bles after they had given luncheons or
dinners, and finally several of them got
together and compared notes, and sus-
picion fell upon one of the women
who had been the guest at luncheons
given by those gathered at the confer
ence.
Finally the wife of prominent dip
lomat determined to stop the raid upon

George Atkinson, our old friend,
down on the Cass county line, is hav-
