Cliques in Washington Social Life

In both the senatorial and congressional
clidues there is much frlendliness. This IL
due probably to the fact that so many OF
the various members. with their families.
came from the same portions OF the country
and were friends or acquaintance prior 10
the exodus to Washington official life.
Again there is. especially among the new
Corners, a bond Of sympathy between the
women in their struggle for recognition, all
meeting the same formidable unknown ETH
quette Of oflcial rules in Washington.
1t must not be forgotten, too, that there
is a vast army of lesser government en-
ployes who flock to the official receptions
and balls, and who fancy that they are
enjoying the highest Of social life. This
set probably contains the oldest and most
amusing OF the types. The callow youth
who has recently acquired an appointment
and who attends his first reception is
not quite certain whether he should wear
a dress suit and high hat at 4 O'Clock p.
m. or retain his business suit with his
~favorlte red tie. He usually appears In a
motely assortment OF clothes, having tried
TO effect n compromise, shakes hands awk-
wardly with his hostess. stands about for
a bit n wishes he had not come. But he
usually goes again and after n while learns
something Of the conventionaities. This
type is omnipresent. The women as a rule
are more adaptable and make fewer blum
ders.
Then there is, too, the eternal visiting.
floating population seeing Washington, who
find 1t nice to return 10 their rural homes
and tell their friends that they attended
this or that reception. In many cases
they make the same laughable mistake OF
not going as casual onlookers in street
attire.
Among other interesting sets Is one that
consists of q small army Of young women
who represent the four sections of the
country-woll- bred girls. daughters Of
men of wealth. who spend winter after
winter in Washington at some finishing
school," They cstensibly take a COURSE in
this or that thing, but their real motive is
to enjoy the social functions to which they
can obtain entire.
One of the best known and perhaps the
most successful and popular OF these
schools" has as it's head a southern
woman of infinite tact and good breeding.
She has personally. by birth and breeding
an entire to many Of the most exclu-
sive affairs, irrespective Of the social
or official status of the entertainer, and
"her girls thus often obtain a social
footing and invitations where even the
most eager Of some other set finds 1t i'm
possible to break down the barriers. These
young women hear all the best music. go
to all the best shows, are carefully chap
eroned on all occasions and are perhaps
the happiest Of all who participate in the
queer social life of washington.

dent she mover infringes upon the unwrit-
welt she opens her parlors occasionally TO
those who appeal to her personally. These
affairs are of the simplest sort. and Mrs.
Roosevelt is usually assisted by Miss Hag-
ner and Miss Alice Roosevelt.
Second comes the clique composed OF
private citizens, who make up a small pro-
portion OF Washington's smart set" These
people are of large means. entertain Law
ishly and, having no axes to grind, choose
their friends from any of the ~antlgonistic
official circle.
The most exclusive set-and the smallest
in point of numbers-is composed Of the old
Westinghouse, who regard with aversion
the official element. Their social functions
consist Of quiet teas and dinners, given
without ostentation or display.
The nearest approach to aristocracy in
Washington may be found among the army
and navy people. Generation after genera
tion. drawing prestige from deeds of valor
in many wars, have gone to Annapolis or
West Point. No more polished men are TO
be found in America, and they hold their
own in matters of etiquette and cere-
monials with the foreign representatives.
Social opportunities abroad and the indie
Unable polish which is gained only through
travel are theirs. The >men marry women
of wealth and family. and while among
themselves they adopt a less stringent code,
ct official functions they are sticklers for
the prestige and precedence due their rank.

ITO THE NOVICE in washington's
official life. society for the first
- year is a maddening. mystic
maze in which she is perpetually
49, face to face with the least de-
sirable reflections in the mirrors. During
the second year she succeeds in straight
ening out to her own satisfaction and, In
cidentally. that of her guests and acquaint-
ances, the question Of precedence. And
Just about the time that her husbands
term expires and they drift back to their
native city, she discovers that all this
while she might hare been one of a delight
full and independent clique, il only she had
known the ropes.
Social life at the national capital divides
itself along two distinct lines-oficially and
temperamentally The official divisions are
determined by certain unwritten laws
handed down from administration to adj
ministrution. These must be observed at
all functions OF an official nature, but,
having done her duty in this resrect, a
woman is free to make such friends as
she elects. But woe unto the woman who
does not observe first these oficial dis
tinctions, or who, through motives OF per-
sonal friendship, gives precedence to a
civilian when representatives of official life
are also her guests. f r I'm the president
himself TO the department clerk, all are
slaves to these social laws.
The woman who is experienced in WASH
irston life, whose husband has served more
than one term. knows her social code so
thoroughly that she dispatches all official
duties by routine and has ample time to
enjoy such relaxation as appeals to her
sisters in private life.
Custom and the inordinate clamor for
rank and the right of precedence have sep
aratSd the smart set" of Official life into
various small Gets, or cliques, which en-
terrain among themselves and keep jealously
aloof from all other cliques sac on such
occasions as the prescribed state or on
cial affairs" make appearance and osten>
sible cordiality almost obligatory.
What might be termed the white
House set consists of the chief executive
and his family, the members of his cabinet
and their wives and daughters, and the
chief justices and families. In addition to
meeting at purely official functions, there
Is likely to be a more friendly feeling
among them, evidenced by informal dinners
and even simpler forms of entertaining.
The diplomatic corps forms another small
clique, marked by the most pronounced
forms and ceremonials in the capital. The
representatives of the monarchies in par
medan his Koran, and in their limited
circle are wheels within wheels, the watch
ing of which gives the humble outsider
social vertigo.
In the matter of formal entertaining. par

ticularly in giving dinners, the hostess is
frequently confronted by the question of
precedence in its most formidable form. 1t
takes infinite tact to seat those whose
knowledge OF their social rights seems FOR
the time being their most absorbing prob
lem. While rights OF procedure go to for
eign ambassadors and ministers. should a
chief justice and his aides be present they
hold equal social rank. The senatorial
contingent claims the same position; hence
the only safe path for the hostess to follow
is to avoid entertaining officials CT equal
rank at the same dinner.
Men I1ay be too busy to make a social
mountain out CT a mole hill, but with
women II is a burning question. 1t is still
debated whether the wives Of cabinet min
listers should call on the wives OF the menu
bers of the supreme court or vice versa,
and at all dinners daughters OF justices and
private citizens. Many heart burnings and
the severing of friendships have followed
infringement of this rule. II may be inter-
esting also TO learn that strangers call
upon the ladies Of the official world first.
Probably the most enjoyable of the sets
now in existence is Mrs. Roosevelt's pri-
vate musical ccterie, in which are found
many of her friends, irrespective of rank or
condition-an innovation which may surely
be granted the FIRST lady of the land" for

 Ira Farnsworth, who kept house for Wolcott while the latter was up at the switch, was the first witness for the defense. Farnsworth is now employed ill the baggage department i'll the Tor rington depot.

 By Arbitration.
 Chicago, No 2O.-Still clinging to the car strike might be accomplished through efforts at arbitration, Mayor Harrison and the aldermanic mediation committee gathered in the formers office to-day. Members of the execu- tive board of the striking division of car men had previously assembled witl' President Mahon to discuss the counter proposition made by the railway off cials last night. The peace board of city officials waited as patiently as pos sible for the strikers representatives to- make a decision which might mean an amicabIe settlement of the strike or might mean another step toward a gen. eral demoralizati tion of the city's in dustries.
 At the union headquarters the i'm pression prevailed that the offer would be rejected. It was said that the com pany had offered no concessions with regard to the routing of cars, and this was declared to be one of the essential points involved from the standpoint of the strikers. The situation apparently was that the mayor and the mediation committee would have to try again if peace is to be brought about through their effeSts.
 Operation of four lines, the Cottage Grove, Indiana avenue, Wentworth avenue and Halsted street lines, was continued to-day on practically the same basis as yesterday.
 No new lines were opened to-day and Assistant Chief Scuetzler said: Il expect some trouble from sympathiz- CTS and they will not be treated so len iently by the police as heretofore"
 By agreement of representatives of the City Railway Go and the strikers a settlement of the strike was placed i'll the hands of Clarence Darrow, rep resenting the strikers, and Colonel Bliss, the representative of the conl- pany They went into council imme- diately and said they would have re- port this afternoon.
