She Ratified Dewey
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
Dewey once attended a wedding break
fast at which the affable Baroness de
that time, was present. Dewey had met
this famous women several times before.
The facial plainness elf the baroness was
quite beyond belief. but She was one of the
most brilliant, lovable and kindly women
ever elected to guide the social affairs of
the diplomatic corps i'm Washington. A
lady who overheard 1t tells of an amusing
passage which the baroness and Dewey
(who, if memory serves, was then a COM
mander,) had at this particular wedding
breakfast.
Referring to leather" said the baroness
amiabiy, after some playful remark as to
the spick-and-Span polish of Deweys sword
belt-he was in dress uniform-"the most
remarkable bit of Russian leather in the
world Is my face"
Dewey was as quick a thinker then as
he is now, but this stalled him.
Madame" he said, after a pause 81 am

demand which You make upon me. l am
not equal to the emergency
"Of course said the baroness, tapping
him with her fan. 81 should have to con-
slider you hopelessly rude We're you to
agree with me. But you can preserve your
acknowledgement officers are taught to do
that are they notify telling me what
really fine eyes / have. They are fine, are
they not?"
Thus assisted. Dewey rose to the occa-
sion. The baroness eyes WERE in truth,
magnificent.

ACTIVITY STILL A FEATURE

al business situation. Price-strength
toe. is noticeable except in the case of
the leading cereals and wool. In manu-
featuring lines the situation is one of
great activity. Additional advances in
wages announced this week seem likely
TO swell the number of workers whose
wages are reported advanced to close
TO $4,000. The iron and steel trade is
still! excited by reports of feverish de-
mand, inadequate supplies and further
advanced quotations. Shut-Gowns for
repairs and other reasons have reduced
pig iron output quite materially. The
number of old furnaces put III OpeTationi is
steadily increasing. but the effect as
yet CT production is not very marked.
The demand for cotton goods is VerS
active and nearly all classes are firmly
held. though finished goods have not ad-
vanced to the same extent as the cTuder
makes. Lumber is active at most mar
kets and prices are firm. Raw and re-
fined sugar have alike moved upward
this week Wheat is weaker, notwith-
standing crop damage reports, ard 9TH
