Washington. d. c., Aug. 23.-No
matrimonial rumor of the year has ex-
cited such general interest as that
which connects the names of Nine.
Rengifo. the young and beautiful widow
of Gen. Julio Rengifo, formerly charge
d'affaires of Columbia, and Mr.. Eugene
Theibaut, lately first secretary of the
French embassy in this city. and now
holding a similar post at Berne, Switz-
erland. Madame Rengifo was a WASH
ington girl; youngest daughter of
wealthy merchant and her marriage to
the Colombian diplomat in 1895 was a
most brilliant International affair. The
brief home life of the young couple was
extremely happy and their hospitali-
ties were frequent and notable. Very
soon, howeveE Gen. Rengifo was re-
called to Colombia, to be made minis
ter of finance of that republic: and
subsequently was appointed minister

While on his way to the latter field, his
ship was burned at sea. and all on
board were lost. His wife was in
Washington with her mother at the
time, and so intense was her grief that
it was believed that she would become
religeuse. She comes of a devout
Catholic family, and a year or two ago
her older sister entered the conventual
Order of the Ladies of the Sacred
Heart. In her sorrow, Nine. Rengifo
enriched the stately altar of St. Alloy
sius Church by beautiful golden chal-
ice, in which was set all her superb
diamonds and emeralds, mostly gifts
of her dead husband. Last year she
spent long time in France, visiting
former school friends: and this sum-
mer is with one of her sisters, Mrs.
MacCartney, at Fishers Island. Just
when her engagement with Mr.. THE
baut was made is not known, as she
has seduously avoided society since the
tragedy which made her widow. Mr.
Theibaut left Washington for his new
post early last spring, but is expected
to return here in October when the
marriage will be contaminated. His
transfer to Switzerland was made at
his own request, that he might be near
his aged parents in their last days, his
rather having now reached his nine

sizes well for his brides future happf-

interested in and working for?
1t is noticeable that club work, as 1t
is understood now, includes every va
riety formerly done by the much revil-
ed woman "reformer" and the short
haired woman suffragist." In ceasing
to be purely literary, the club had to
become something else, and such was
and is the spirit of the time that it
had to become progressive. 1t is never
likely to be less progressive than it now
is, and municipal and state govern
ments are likely to feel the power of
organized womanhood more and more
as woman herself realizes this power
and grows skilled in it's use. Last year

EVOLUTION OF woMAN's CLUBS.
From Browning's Poems to Legisla-
tive Bills.

Even young club woman can re-
member the time when the woman's
club was nothing If not literary; when
the work of the club was confined to
the writing of essays and the ransack-
ing of encyclopedias, and when such
thought as public work for the public
good had never entered the head of
club woman.
IT was in these early days of the club
that Mast and other cartoonists found
Sorosis an admirable subject for Carl
cature. But, like many another move
ment, the woman's club has passed the
stage of caricature and reached the
point where only respectful and digni-
fed consideration is in order.
A record of woman's club work reads
like tale of good fairy godmothers-

curfew laws, marriage and divorce

Inauguration balls, presidential re-
ceptions and concerts have often taken
place in the big court of the pension
building in the national capital, but
never until last week was wedding
held there. Nor is 1t likely that the
authorities will consent to making 1t a
regular thing for visiting couples to be
married in the pension court, to the
music of the fountain, romantic though
it be. Unfortunately, chiefs of bureaus
are so prosaic that they would object
to the waste of time caused by the
"rubberinng" of hundreds of employees,
who would be bound to have a peep at
the brides and grooms. In the case of
last week, it was entirely accidental
and there was no chance for objection.

Minister WI is just now the most
sought after man in the world among
the real estate dealers of Washington,
who are 'jollying" him to the limit,
not only when he is here, but on his
frequent little trips to the seashore and
other places. The reason is that the
Chinese government has authorized
Mr.. WI to buy site and erect a lega-
ton building, which shall be the finest
in the country-leaving location, price
and everything else to his individual
judgment. Every real estate man in
the city, and many who never engaged

One real estate firm has a scheme for
the erection of bunch of legations for
all governments that do not already
own buildings here, on a site to be
known as legation square-the price,
size and style of each building to be
arranged to suit the amount allowed
by the government for the rental of
legation building at this time. The To-
cation of this square is not announced,
but 1t is probably farm land in the sub
urbs. This bargain-counter method of
obtaining legations might appeal to
some of the little by legations, but
is not likely to be adapted by others.

said in its favor, and just at present
