memorandum book in which he re-
cords the invitations which he accepts,
SO that as each day dawns, Or rather,
rs each night comes, he may know
where he is to dine or whose reception.
he is to attend. Never in the history
of the country has the social life OF -
senator been as strenuous as 1t Is now.
Senator Elkins for instance, Is either
giving dinner or Is guest at a DIN
ner every night in the week. Senator
Lodge is another senator who is great
" in demand and whose dates are
filled for weeks ahead. Senator NC
Millan's dinners are frequent and are
always delightful, while Senator wet
more, who has fortune at his COM
mand, also likes to entertain. Senator
Kean is another dinner giver OF re-
nown, while Senator Hale counts that
day lost in which he does not partlcl-
pate in social function. In fact, II Is
remarkable that senators are aDle 10
appear every day in their seats, reaay
and ANXIOUS to do business, AFTER am
'ners and dinners galore. They must
have copper lined interiors.
Very few Of the Democrats are oih-
ner giyers. Senator Clark of Montana
is an exception to the rule, and when
he gives a dinner it is the KIND Whlch
would make Lucullus turn over in his
grave with envy.
The Baby Member.
The baby member of the mouse Is
representative Lever of South Carroll
ma. He is only twenty seven years old
and looks twenty. He was private Sec
rotary of the late Representative
Stokes and when the latter died was
voted by a grateful constituency into
the vacant seat.

The Two McLaurfns.
1t is funny how the two McLaurlhs
in the senate get mixed up. one comes
from South Carolina and the otner
