week. those of Miss Edith Morton, Mis- s
Helen Benedict, Miss Mabel Mckinley and
Miss Katherine Clark. are of an unusually

great heiresses and have travelled the world
over and have seen life in its most luxuri-
Gus phases, should have each selected an
American is matter of no small import
ance. and is an example well worthy of
emulation. The marriage Of Miss Morton
and Mr.. EustiS will be just as Interesting to
WaShingtonians as to New Workers, will,
indeed, that of Miss Mckinley and Mr..
Baer, and doubly so if the happy event
takes place at the White House which is
quite probable. Senator Clark and his fam

There is no need today to hide the wear
ing of the green" Society has followed the
English beck and rejoices with the LOVERS of
the green isle that another St. Patricks
day has come around. The British en-
