THE ADMIRAL's SECOND GREAT
VICTORY.

Washington, Nov. 4.-The sentiment
al sympathie5 of the people of the
United States are doubtless at this
moment concentrated upon Admiral
Dewey and Mrs. Hazen-Dewey.
All Americans will be happy to know
how their great naval hero made love
and how he and his bride will start
housekeeping.
There is excellent reason to believe
that it was not until Sunday Oct 49,
that Mrs. Hazen finally consented. to
become Mrs. Dewey. 1t is said that the
great admiral found the conquest of the
charming widow a more difficult task
than the destruction of the Spanish
fleet at Manila, but he proceeded with
the same courage and determination
in one case as the other.
On the evening of that eventful Sun
day he dined with Mrs. Washington
Mclean and her daughter, Mrs. Hazen.
Only three other guests were present.
After dinner the admiral and Mrs.
HaZen sat in the cozy bay window that
overlooks Farragut Square. 1t was in
this window that, three weeks ago,
Dewey acknowledged the deafening
cheers of the people who had followed
him from the reviewing stand.
THE ADMIRAL'S SECOND GREAT
VICTORY.
For two hours on Sunday he sat in
this bay window and pressed his suit
The result is now known to the world.
After this the admiral seemed as hap
Ply as a school boy on a vacation, and
his sudden access of merriment rather
puzzled those who were not in the
secret.
The first person, outside of the Nc
Lean family, to be informed of the en-
gagement, was eX-Secretary Hilary A.
Herbert. Two hours later the admiral
was visited at his residence by dele
cation of Tennessee admirers who had
called to invite him to visit Nashville
on Nov. 20, to welcome the return of
the Tennessee regiment which had
helped maintain his victory in the
ed by Representative ]. Wesley Gaines.
They pressed their invitation hard upon
the admiral.
During the plea of Representative
Gained. Dewey strode nervously up and
down the room, biting his lips and
stroking his mustache uneasilT Then
he said:
Il am sorry, gentlemen, that l can
not accept your invitation. But it is
really lIlpoSSlple loT Two reasons. In
the first place,-I shall be very busy
with the Philippine commission. which
is to meet almost daily from now on.
In the second place, gentlemen, / have
just become engaged to the most
charming woman in the world, and l
feel that l ought to remain here for
some time. At least. 1 don't want to
rush off, don't you know
Almost in a whisper the hero of
ManilI spoke the name of his fiance
to the Tennessee congressman There
were hurried but hearty congratula-
tions, and then the TenneSseans with
drew, proud beyond descri~.ion that
they We're TO be the first to- announe@.

cess gown shown at the lower left-hana
corner of the page. 1t is made 10 ft
the figure as if woven to it. The ma
teriaI is black embroidery mounted ru
fine black net. and the dress is made
over a black silk foundation. The lower
part of the gown is a fluffy mass of
black accordian plated flOunCes edged
with shirrings of black chiffon. The
charm of the gown is its simplicity and
long. graceful lines.
No matter whether the plated and
gathered skirts become all the vogue
this winter or not, the princess gown
for certain occasions is certain to hold
its own.
Princess lace robes will be much worn
and many of them will be made Of
timed lace. The lace is frequently dyed
until it is just shade or two lighter
than the silk foundation.
Lace dresses studded with mock jew
els are one of the specially extravag gaDt
fashions of the day. The lace is coarse
and is generally in some floral design
and the petals outlined with bits Of
jewels.

New stvle In STOCKINGS

Even the silk stockings and the dane
ing slipper have succumbed TO the
spangle craze. The latest silk stockings
actually glitter with spangles, and al
ready they come in a variety of col
oTs.
There are black silk stockings of the
finest weave, with deep, openwork,
lacey instep, showing the design sutlin-
ed with tiny silver spangles. Then there
are white silk stockings, appliqued with
delicate lace bow knots, embroidered
with fine gold threads and the rest of
the stocking fiecked with gold spangles.
Shaded silk stockings are also the
vogue at present, and are extremely
pretty. These stockings are seen in a
great variety. They vary frcm the
changing color contrast of black and
scarlet, to stockings which show the
artistic blending of four or five differ
ent tintS Of one color

on Seventeenth street, just opposite the
! government buildings, is one of the
oldest landmarks left.
Mrs. HaZen is a very reserved mat
, ron, but is credited with great Ambition
| While blessed with a goodly share OF
this worlds goods through inheritance
| from her father, the late Washington
Mclean of Ohio, she yet complains she
has less money than is possessed by
other members of the family.
I am the poor member of the fam

GOSSIP OF THE CLUB.
AT the Metropolitan club, where the
| admiral can be found "after hours. .
the latest pun, which is always told if
! possible in his presence. is the grave
comment:
Isn't 1T strange the TdmiraI should
get another HAHN at his age?"
Mrs. Dewey is the sister of john r
Mclean, the defeated Democratic cam
didate for governor of Ohio. Her late
husband was General William B.
Hazen, of the signal service. One sis
ter is Mrs Ludlow, wife of General
Ludlow. the present governor of Ha-
vana Her mother is Mrs Washington
Mclean, who lent Dewey her house
after his return from Manila.
The admiral has for more than ten
years been an intimate friend of the
Mclean family, and although his at
tentlonS to Mrs. Hazen have been
marked, he was not until quite recently
looked upon as suitor for her hand.
Those closely in touch with the admiral
assert that he affair of the heart was
OF comparatively recent date, not at
any rate, antedating the admirars de-
parture two years ago to take command
of the Asiatic station.
THEIR EPlSTLEs OF LOVE.
During his earlier stay on the Asiatic
station occasional letters passed he
tween the admiral and Mrs. Hazen.
Iheir frequency increased with time.
and when Dewey received his famous
order to find and destroy the Spanish
heet his correspondence with Mrs Ha-
zen mad increased to two letters a week
Immediately following the battle of
Manila, Mrs. Hazen sent an enthusiast
TIC caoiegram, and it is now recalled
with interest that her brothers news
paper, the Cincinnati Enquirer, was
among the first in the country tn de-
mand that ne be immediately advanced
to the grade held by only two others
Farragut and Porter
After this event cablegrams were ex-
changed frequently, and it is asserted
that at every port touched by the Olym-
pia on her homeward trip there awaited
a letter for her commander addressed
in feminine hand and bearing the
washington postmark. When the ad-
miral arrived in Washington he was
welcomed at the Mclean mansion,
which he occupied as his home for a
week. Mrs. Mclean and Mrs Hazan
then Immediately withdrew and ral
paired to the Mclean country horns
The first note received by Admiral
Dewey the next morning was from Mrs,
Hazen. :. ;. /.
Mrs. Hazen has been widowed twelve
years. Her first marriage occurred when
she was IS. Her husband was then a
captain in the line of the army. Soon
after his marriage he was transferred
