loves to dance for the joy of it, and
in the ball room conducts herself with
the same delightful vim and fascinat-
ing abandon that she displays on horse
back.
Miss Roosevelt is at the dancing age
that time of life when every girls
heart beats to the tune Of waltz. OF
all the diversions of the last season. her
first in society, she has enjoyed dane
ing most. The men with whom she
has danced do not matter SO much be-
cause her idea Of Il partner is man
who can dance well. Beyond this fact
she has never on single occasion ex-
pressed any preference. Her dances
have been divided chiefly between mil
itary men and college men. OF the two
she cOnfesses with that frankness
which Is one of her most striking char
acteristics that she prefers the latter.
Sophomores are to her more interesting
than blase society men. College flags
and fias pins hold as honored a place
with her as with other young women
of all classes and conditions Yet she
has the same weakness for brass but
tons that distinguishes every normal
girl. So far, however, the flags and
buttons, not their owners, appear to
possess the intrinsic interest IN her

in hand as firmly and as skillfully as
she would "A pair Of spirited horses and

line with the GOODNESS, the DASH. and
the unaffected grace Of mistress of

An amusing incident. illustrating her
modesty and the apparent awe with
which her would-be partners regard
her, is told by a young newspaper man
of Washington, who met Miss Koose-
welt at the hop at the Naval Academy
in Annapolis. With modesty not gen
orally supposed chara cteristic of the
newspaper reporter this young man
wavered for half an hour before the
dance began between the impulse to
ask the girl from the White House for
a dance and lurking fear of refused.
At last, however. the natural enter
prise of his profession came to his aid,
and, screwing his courage to- his aid.

readily replied the Presidents daugh-
ter with gracious smile. The news
paper man took her program, and To-!
there were five empty spaces upon it.
Every other girl in the room had her
program filled, the dance had begun,
vet the girl from the White House had
five unengaged dances. The reporter
took one-all he dared-then rushed out
to tell the others of the situation, and
the young lady's program was soon
filled by those who had before been too
hashful to seek the privilege.
At another time Miss Roosevelt was
asked by an aspiring but not wholly
desira BILE party to lead prospective
german. She accepted at once and
without hesitation.

Miss Roosevelt's dancing gowns are
all dainty. pretty. and rich. but not
striking nor snowy. She invariably
looks well. but she would never be
singled out from the crowd on a ball
room floor. She loves pretty things.
and last winter was more desperately
in love with her first velvet visiting
gown than with any other one person
or thing in Washington. White is her
favorite color, and she has variety OF
white gowns: a snowy crisp taffeta. a

back to his own country, will be as rare
when Mr. Rhodes scheme comes into

the result will be the same, for, what

to forget their nationality when they
find themselves at oxford.
You will have. then, in Oxford. a hun

Strong Volts in Houses,

An article has been going the rounds
of the newspapers recently maintain-
ing the existence Of a house that is so
able. Such articles are not uncommon
and display wOeful amount of ig-
norance of electrical phenomena. 1t
is usually stated that some one has
discovered that everything he touches
in his house, the radiators, picture
frames, banquet lamps. etc, give him
an electric shock. Hence, he fears
there is some connection between the
arc light wires and the water pipes
near his residence. The electric light
inspector is therefore summoned and
reports that the wires of his company
are intact and that the electricity must
come from some other source.
1t does not dawn on any of the peo-
pie consulted that the discoverer Of
the phenomenon is nncOnsciOusly per-
forming one OF the simplest and oldest
of electrOstatic experiments, the shut
fling of his shoes over the dry carpet
raising the potential of his body to sew
eral thousand volts, which discharge
at every opportunity. One may even
get electrical discharges from his
knuckles to the brass lock of a hand
bag which he may be carrying while
walking on stone pavement during
cold, dry weather. But, dismissing
newspaper science, 1t is somewhat
astonishing, in view OF the many ways
in which in cold, dry countries cleo
tricity is automatically developed
and manifested by sparkling, that the
first knowledge concerning this phe-
nOmenon did NOT come to the ancients
in this way rather thar by the attrac-
ton Of light substances by amber.
The explanation Of this, however. may
be that the scientists Of bNgone days
did not reside in cola, dry countries.
