family enters the room?
 This is an interesting question which society is discussing. The question arose less than fortnight ago and came about in this way:
 At Chevy Chase a dinner party was given to the young people of society by the daughter of the attorney gen eral and the daughter of the secretary of agriculture.
 Miss Alice Roosevelt was one of the guests. as was Miss Root. It so chanced that the young ladies drove out to the Chevy Chase club together.

Now, while it is all right and proper for the men to rise until Miss Roosevelt should have been seated, there is no reason in the world why the girls should have risen.

 For the Presidents Pistols.
 A messenger from the White House rushed into the room of the chief clerk of the ordnance bureau in the war de- pertinent.
 Gimme two boxes of cartridges for the presidents pistols" he said hur- riedly.
 A clerk got the cartridges and gave them to the messenger, who galloped strenuously back to the White House. Three minutes after he had given the cartridges to the president the presi- dent was on his horse galloping for the suburbs. followed by his orderly and two bicycle policemen. The president carries pistol with him when he goes riding. lie knows how to use it, too. should the occasion arise.
 Friend of the Pensioners.
 When in the distant hereafter Sena. tor Gallinger dons his angel wings, he will be constantly flying around on er- rands of mercy for the old pensioners. Everybody knows that he has had more pension bills adopted during this session than were ever passed before in a similar length of time and that a great many more will be enacted he fore the season adjourns.
