SHORT STORIES
OF THE DAY


Wisdom in wooing equal to his skill in
war Admiral Dewey has surely displayed,
for his bride, who was Mrs. Mildred Nc
Lean HaZen, daughter of Washington Nc
Lean, of Cincinnati and widow of Briga-
dier-General HaZen, is one of the most fas-
cinating women who ever graeed Washing
ton society. She is sprightly, witty and
very quick at repartee. She possesses the
rare gift of placing all persons immediate
ly at ease, and, as one of her friends says
of her, making them perfectly satisfied
with themselves.
Her manner is engaging. She is bril-
liant conversationalist, and talks interest
ingly upon all subjects, having a wealth
of information, to which she adds charm
ing touch of humor and originality. She
tells story well and is equally quick to
appreciate and enjoy any amusing incident
at her own expense.
Mrs. Dewey although more than 40 years
old is decidedly youthful in appearance.
She is not many inches over five feet in
height, being much shorter than Admiral
Dewey. Her figure is beautifully rounded,
and she is stylish to a marked degree, and
dresses always in exceeding good taste.

Her house gowns have been artistic Gre
ations of black and white, strikingly COM
bined, lavender, delicate grays and white.
For afternoons she usually wears, with
skirts of the soft crepe effects, black and
white fancy silk waists, and in the evening
not infrequently her black ball gowns, and
the lighter shades of second mourning.
Her gowns display originality in design,
and she wears them always in the trim
NEST manner and in a graceful style that
seems to be entirely her own.
She is exceptionally striking in evening
dress. which is exceedingly becoming to
her She is not extraordinarily fond of
jewels, and with the exception of jewelled
ornaments for her dark hair, always simply
arranged, and a diamond necklace, wears
very few gems She possesses a dozen or
more choice and rarely beautiful fans of
exquisite art and workmanship.

Clark Earl, an actor in material circum-
stances not favorable to his own comfort,
is a patient at the Hillman hospital. 1t is
not understood by him or them that are
looking to his comfort at the moment that
he can enjoy the comforts or the ministra-
tions of the hospital without cost to him
SELF and he is destitute. st. Yincent's hos
Iital is Grightfully overcrowded. 1t could
not yesterday receive the patient. 1t was
pointed out in The Age-Herald several days
ago that the Sisters of Charity at st. Vim
cents were hard-pressed for space for suf-
ferers they longed to relieve. The story
came last night that every cot in the large
building, the DeBardeleben mansion, was
occupied and the good Sisters grieved that
they couldn't accommodate any other pa
tients. The Sisters make no charge. There
are special rooms, that furnish no special
accommodation except seclusion and for
these Sisters accept pay But no person
goes or is carried to St. Vincents who is
bound in honor to pay. The hospital is
conducted by the Sisters of Charity of the
Catholic church. John d.. O'Hara, an actor
of many years experience and an old and
honored newspaper worker calls attention
to Clark Earls unhappy plight. Mr.. O'Hara
is of the Peters theatrical company, and
manifests that kindness of heart so char
acteristic of the theatrical profession.

up to the highest expectations OF the

and Frank Macdonald, as Faust,
was perfect. The scenic and cleo

passed in this city, the rain of fire
deserving OF special mention. Miss
