 There is a general error in spelling Mrs. Roosevelts maiden name. Before her marriage she was Miss Carow, not Carew. The name is an old French Hu- guenot one. originally spelled Quereau, but was changed to Carow by Mrs. Roosc- velts grandfather, Isaac Carow, who ex- perienced much trouble with men in business who never seemed able to spell Qdereau properly. Some months ago New York paper said that the name Quentin (of one of the boys) was a fam fly name of the Roosevelts. The name belongs on the Carow side and was also French Huguenot name originally spelled ouantine.

 "A member of the cabinet to entertain largely should have such a house as usually rents at from $6,000 to $12.O00 a year. Senator Depew pays $1,00o a month Tor his house. On the other side, Secre- tary Wilson. who is comparatively poor man. lives in house that rents for not more than $75 month Postmaster-Gen- eral Smith spent his entire salary of s. 900 a year and was compelled to write maga- zine articles and to add to his income in other ways to maintain his establish ment. He finally wearied of the struggle and took apartments at a hotel
 Each cabinet minister is expected once a year to entertain the President and his associates at dinner. Beyond this he can cut out dinner-giving The Secretary of State, in addition, must give a breakfast once year to the diplomatic corps Sec retary Day resigned because he could not afford to follow the social pace.
 Carriage and horses are furnished by the Government to cabinet members. All other expenses they must pay them selves. member of the cabinet main- taining his own house would have to expend at least s15.OOO a year, or nearly double his salary, to keep up even ordi- nary appearances.

 The members of the Livingston (Ky) Chapter of the Daughters of the Confed- eracy, who have been so exercised over the production of Uncle Toms Cabin, are not apt to feel any better on the subject as result of the reception Of Manager Scott's reply to their request that he re- frain from booking any more Uncle Toms Cabin shows. He replied:
 Ladies: A copy of your resolution in reference to Uncle Toms Cabin has been received. Replying to the same, I have only to say. the war has been over about thirty-six years. Yours, etc,
 Charles Scott"
 The fact that since going to Washington Mrs Roosevelt has steadfastly refused to act as patroness for any ball, fair or other society function. makes the com plinent she has paid the Southern Relief Society in consenting to appear as pa- troness at their hall. doubly a compli- ment. A Washington paper says:
 This society is an auxiliary of the Confederate Veterans Association of Washington. of which ex-Secretary of the Navy Herbert Is President
 ''The Relief Society has for it's principal object the rendering of assistance to the descendants of those who fought In the Confederate army.
 Mrs. Roosevelt accepted the place and her name will appear as one of the pa. tronesses. One of the other patronesses is Madame Wu the wife of the Chinese Minister"
