"sweethearts and Wives" the story was

''sweethearts and Wives" the story was told.
 Mrs. ROebing has a beautiful home on the Delaware river at Trenton, where she entertains very 1avishly. She was recent ly presented at the Court of St. James and is very popular with the hundreds of women whom she meets at the various gatherings of American societies.
 In writing of the vice-president general enc naturally recalls Mrs. Daniel Manning the president general of the national socie- ty, and whose brilliant personality made her so notable a figure in Paris the past summer. And in speaking of Mrs Man ming, who, by the way, has just returned to America, recalls that other distinguished American woman, Mrs. Potter Palmer, who reached home the past week after her social career of great brilliancy at the French capital; and whose recent inter view explains her refusal of the French Legion of Honor. It will be recalled that the American committee recommended that the decoration of the cross of the Legion of Honor be conferred upon Mrs. Daniel Manning and Mrs. Potter Palmer, the resolution being presented to Commis- sioner-General Peck, and by him to the French Minister of Foreign Affairs
 Mrs. Palmer is quoted as saying that it did not seem to her fair to accept the deco ration if the French government conferred it to the exclusion of the other members of the committee.
 "I greatly appreciated the chivairy, she declared the past week. the gallantry which ever characterizes American gentle men in deferring to the ladies, but~I felt that il would not be right to permit my self to be selected for an honor that was denied the gentlemen of the committee. I felt too that rather than accept a decora- ton for myself, it was my duty to use such influence as I possessed in obtaining medals for the American women who were exhibiting"
 Mrs. Palmer, since her return from Paris has been entertaining a great deal at the house the past week and has been con- spicuous beauty at the horse show, where 1t is said her refusal of the French Legion of Honor was talked of a great deal in society
