the late chairman Of the foreign rela
tions committee, the social feud
which that marriage inspired, the po-
litical fortunes which it made and
marred, all conspired to lend to it
romantic interest. Added to this was
the interest which attached to the
woman herself in the long period Of
her social prominence in Washington.
1t was as Mrs. Cushman K. Davis
that she held her place in the life of
the capital, and it will doubtless be
by the same name that she will be re-
ferred to hereafter, in spite Of the
ceremony which has made her Mrs.
Hunter DOLL While Senator Davis
was alive his wife played conspicu-
GUS part, and this was especially true
after he became chairman of the for
eign relations committee, which car
ries with it a certain social prestige
belonging to no other craftsmanship in
either senate or house.
When the Davises went to Paris at
the time of the meeting of the peace
commission, of which the Minnesota
senator was member, Mrs. Davis be-
came easily the most conspicuous of
the women attached to the mission,
and her doings were chronicled on
both sides of the Atlantic throughout
the time of the sittings. Her recep-
tons were the most crowded, and the
number of notables in her train was
greater than that of any other Ameri-
can woman.

The fall costumes will look business

simplicity, that they really are simple

Authorities declare the present year is
to be a silk year, that all gowns are to
be provided with a drop-skirt of silk,
that everyone must have waists of silk,
petticoats of silk, Innings of silk. And
the one item of lining will therefore add
very considerably to the expense of
these neat, simple-appearing gowns
But to offset the luxury of the free use
of silk, we are to have this winter the
economy of the short gown, even elabo-

style will be of the same length all
around, merely touching the floor.

much profund secret as possible And
now the machine has been seen and
judging from it's antics is more of
fish than a bird, for it made straight
for the water after beginning it's flight.
Prof. Langley has been at work on his
invention for over 20 years. He is an
old man now and if after the damaged
machine is repaired it should still re-
fuse to fly it will prove bitterly disap-
pointing to him. He has devoted his
best energies and beside has spent
$4,000 of government appropria-
ton made for military purposes in his
endeavor.
About month ago he sent his ap-
paratus down the Potomac in the keep
ing of party of scientists and ma
chinists, there to make the all-impor-
tant trial under the most approved
conditions. They have a houseboat
from which the machine has just made
| its disastrous flight and all sorts of
other paraphernalia. In their trail went
representatives Of every important
newspaper in the country. The scien-
lists have devoted themselves to keep
| ing out of the way of the reporters.
They have been living at the Mount
Vernon Ducking club, of which Prof.
Langley is member, and they have
relentlessly driven out everybody who
yentured too near the sacred precincts.
Now 1t happens that there are other
members of the club than Prof. Lang
ley and they resented its monopoly by
the scientists to the exclusion of every
body else. Consequently one of these.
Truxton Beale, who was once United
States minister to Persia, notified the
professor of his intention to occupy
the club with few Of his friends and
the friends he chose were the news
paper reporters who had hitherto been
kept out iii the swamp. Then it was
the scientists who had to shift for
themselves.
So much for the contest which had
almost eclipsed the interest in the fly
ing machine itself.

The only way in which it had been
possible to maintain for so many years
the superlative quality of the organiza-

the musical unions have been so Bit
terly opposed to this that the band
has had to fight its way against preju-
dice and narrowness for many years.
Only few days ago, when they
were engaged to march in the elks'
procession in Baltimore, the members
of the union threatened to strike and
leave the procession without any other
music than the Marine band unless the
contract was a1nuled. However, the
contract was adhered to. and the bands
played on. 1t was as leader of the
Marine band that Sousa made his rep
utation as the march king. He COM
posed his most famous pieces of music

1t was decided unnecessary to
have any officers under their super

meeting she pinned on the BOYS
collars, and tied into the collars Of
the other members bow Of violet
ribbon. which she said was to
show that they were all employed
in the royal service, and must do
their very best. Then she set Il
bank on Il bracket in Il Corner, and
their summers campaign was re-

The sun was often hot, and
weeds hard to pull, and short backs
can ache. And all the while the
woods and field and brook and
other boys were such q temptation.
But our missionary wagc-earncrs
were, for the most part. true to
their word and the society.
What secret temptations Prince
and Minna had they never told,
and though they sometimes lapsed
from duty, it was only what might
be expected.
But Minna, who always brought
game to her mistress for approval,
seemed aroused to greater effort

mice caught by her was almost in
