tel. The only radical change which
Mrs. Roosevelt has made in the ihte-
rior of the White House, is the CONVEX
sion of the western end of the immense
attic into servants chambers. This
was certainly much-needed innova-
ton, and the new mistress
gave it her personal atten-
ton Immediately on arriving in
Washington. Here the four maids who
accompanied the family from oyster
Bay are now lodged, while the colored
male servants, as heretofore, have
quarters in the basement. Mrs. Roose.
Welt has chosen Friday afternoons on
which to be at home to her friends.
Word comes from the Mentor, o.,
farm of the Garfields that the widow of
the former President, who is now we'll
on in years, is in a serious condition
of i'll health. Her only daughter-the
little Molly" of the White House
years ago. now Mrs. j. Stanley Brown
and the mother of several children
has gone with her family and mother
to California, for the possible benefit
of the latter. They have leased for the
winter a beautiful cottage on Orange
Grove avenue in Pasadena.
Senator Kean of New Jersey and his
sisters, the Misses Kean, spent the
summer at Nahant, where they were
exceedingly popular members of the
North Shore colony. Their hospitality
was marked by number of large
dinners and other entertainments.
Mrs. Kean and her daughters will open
their handsome Washington home con,
siderably earlier than usual this sea-
son. Mrs. w. E. Roosevelt, who was a
Miss Kean, is expected to spend most
of the winter in Washington visiting
her relatives.
Senator Depew is about to sail for
Europe, and shortly afterward to en-
bark on the more uncertain sea of mat
rimony. 1t is stated with apparent
authority that his marriage to Miss
May Palmer will occur next month in
Paris, so that as Mrs. Depew she may
take her place in Washington society
by Dec. /. Many other brides have
come and gone in the history of the
handsome old Corcoran house, which
is now the Senator's home at the Ma
tional Capital, but none of them ever
made the social record that the COM
ing chatelaine will have it in her pow
er to achieve. The prospective groom
has been as close as an oyster about
divulging any of their plans, but it is
presumed that the wedding will take
place at the brides home, in the Rue
Galilae, as all the Palmer family are
devoted Catholics and members of the
most fashionable church in the Amer
lean quarter, st. Pierre de Chaillot.
According to a dispatch from Paris,
Miss Palmer is quoted as declaring
that she will marry Senator Depew be-
cause she loves him. In France that
fact may be considered so extraordi-
nary as to warrant a special cable
gram across the ocean-but in this
country of free marriages. usually for
love alone, nobody has thought of any
other reason. Miss Palmer is described
as a queenly girl, of frank and charm
ing personality. Her sparkling eyes be-
token ready wit and intellectuality; her
head is crowned with a profusion of
nut brown hair, and her carriage is
the embodiment of grace.
Baron Ambrozy, secretary of the le-
cation of Austria Hungary, sailed for

ing a visit to his summer home at

w. Rockhill and wife have returned
from China, via San Francisco, and
are now at home for the winter in
their Washington residence. The
Misses Rockhill. who are pursuing
their studies in Europe, will arrive
about Jan. /. Among the titled for
eieners to visit Washington in the
near future is Prince Giovanni del
Drago. He is now a guest of the Mar
outs de Talleyrand Perigord, at Chats
worth, N. J. Mrs. Jerome Bonapare
and her son. Mr.. Jerome N. Bonaparte,
arrived at their Washington home
Yesterday, after a visit of several
months to the Count and
Countess de Moltke- Huitfedt, at
their estate in Giorup, Den

of that name to be known In this
country. and is the great grandson Of
Jerome Bonaparte the Corsican, and
Younger brother of Napoleon I, who in
1903. married the beautiful Baltimore
an. Mis- Elizabeth Patterson. A good
deal of comment has been excited by
the action of Mrs. Cushman K. Davis
in disenterring the body of her late
husband and bringing it to Washing
ton. Naturally. Minnesota, particularly
ST. Paul which city has for many
wears been the Davis home, feel that
the Senators remains SHOulu Issb
among the people to whom he owed
his early honors. 1t is understood that
Mrs Davis became offended because a
proposed mauseleum has not been built
for him in one of the public parks Of

tive action, and on account of a press
