brilliant husband was chief.
She was brilliant, brainy woman
with mind as keen as a razor's edge,
and if her tastes had run in the direc-
ton of politics-if she had been con-
sciously a politician--it is hard to say
what she might not have achieved in
the great game which is continually
playing here in social life at the capt.
tai.
But instead of liking for politics
she cherished an aversion to it, Every
step in advance which James G. Blaine
took, while it gratified her pride in
him, was source of regret to her in
that she saw herself constantly thrust
forward into personal prominence
which was distasteful, and compelled
to combat the ever-growing demand
that for political reasons she should
mingle with all sorts of people in
whom she could not simulate an inter-
est. Combined with seclusive tenn
per she had that most dangerous of
accomplishments, a quick wit and
ready tongue. She resented and re-
sisted the curtailment of individual
liberty which her husbands official
position was constantly threatening.
When Blaine was secretary of state
she made many enemies for both by
refusing to return the innumerable
calls made upon her on public recep-
ton days-a practice which, silly as
it was, had grown to be regarded as an
official duty. She had to bear the
brunt of the criticisms for the inno-
walton which subsequently all cabinet
women were forced to follow in self
protection. She made bitter life
long enemy of the wife of Benjamin
Harrison, who afterwards became mis-
tress of the white house by some cut :
ting comment she gave utterance to
when both Blaine and Harrison were
in the senate; and that difference led
to the tragic candidacy of Blaine for
the republican nomination in 1892 and
had much to do with the party cool
ness that resulted in Harrison's de-
feat.
She had her limited circle of friends.
close and devoted, but she entirely
lacked the insincerity that would have
led those for whom she did NOT care
to count her as their friend Her last
years were clouded with tragedy and
sorrow, and death came to her as a
relief.

island of Guam, where the germ is
most prevalent, but it is not unknown
in the Philippines.
Mr.. Theall has been defending
young prognosticator of the navy who
was brought up before court-mar-
tial at the Washington navy yard on
charges growing out of carelessness
with his accounts, and in order to
clear his client he cited official reports
and brought forward examples of Off
GERS who after service in Guam for a
year or more had been found to be
entirely untitled for duty.
Guam is the most isolated of all the
American military stations in the far
east. A few naval and marine officers
and small detachment of marines
constitute the entire English-speaking
population, and the climate is so ener-
waiting that even the most ambitious
quickly succumb and lead a life of irk-
some routine unembellished with out
side interests. The result is physical,
mental and sometimes moral deterio-
ration. Dozens of young officers who
have had a tour of duty on the island
find themselves on their return to civ
ilization quite untitled to take up the
ordinary service to which they have
been accustomed. They are subject to
physical weakness and to mental de-
preston which makes them irrespon-
| sible for their actions.
| Since Mr.. Theall has called public
attention to condition which has
been understood for some time in the
service there is proposition to re-

cal treatment before being detailed to

r course it is too early to
think about fall gowns and
other modes that will not
be in place for some little
time, but a peep into the

future is never OUT OF place,
and l am going to give a few hints of
what we may expect, and at the same
time appease the wrath of my readers
for such depression by showing in the
illustration some of the more charming
models of the late summer modes that
must speak for themselves.
After all Dame Fashion is inclined to
show her continued approval of pre-
vailing styles by fashioning the fall
modes along the same lines so far as
they are applicable to the heavier ma
terials But shirrings, puffings, f1ounc-
ings, ruchings, ETC., so fascinating in
sheer summer fabrics, will not lend
vet. OF course, house frocks and even
ing frocks for winter will be in ma
terials soft enough and sheer enough to
adapt themselves to any handling, but
just what compromise will be effected
in the heavier fabrics remains to be
seen. The canny woman will not be
in hurry to select her winter outfit
and will wait until tentative modes have
settled into well-defned certainties.
There is rumor that severely tailored
street frocks will forge to the front once
more, though the dressy creation which
French dressmakers call tailor gown
will still be needed for more formal
wear. With this severe tailor frock, if
prophecy is fulfilled, will come reac-
ton against the plated walking skirt
and the unlined skirt.
A many-gored skirt-having as many
as II cores and ripping in somewhat
exaggerated fashion around the feet
will have prominent place and will
be lined and stiffened around the bot
tom. Of the coat to accompany this
skirt little that is definite is told save
that it will be severe in lines and fin
ish, have the conventional tailor turn
over collar and mannish sleeves and
vary in length to suit the wearer.
All this is of course mere rumor, and
were it not for the fact that man rather
than women designs our gowns we
should rather expect several changes
before the fall season is actually upon
ter of gowns as we'll as in other things
is woman's prerogative. Man not only
designs our gowns, but he tells us what
colors they shall be, and he has already
decided upon this point, giving us, of
course, a choice between several which
he will pronounce fashionable. Ofthese

three o'clock every Saturday after
nccn, instead of at four O'Clock, as on
other days. Secretaries Root and
Moody discovered that the law pro-
vided that clerks should work seven
hours every day except Sundays and
holidays and, after mature delibera-
ton, they regretfully determined that
it was beyond their discretion to close
the war and navy departments early
on Saturday.

Then some ingenious clerk bethought
himself of a paragraph hidden away in
the new code of District of Columbia
statutes adopted by congress two years
ago. That paragraph, in dealing with
negotiable instruments, declares that
besides the usually recognized holidays

Years, Decoration day, Washington's
Birthday and Labor day-"every Sat-
urday after - o'clock, noon," shall be
holiday in the District of Columbia for
all purposes. That was poser for the
cabinet lawyers. They turned it over
to their own legal advisers to investigate,
and now the clerks who had expected to
be deprived of their extra hour once
week during the summer. are looking
forward to Saturday half holiday all
the year round.
