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-
sSiously 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 a source of regret to her in
that she saw herself constantly thrust
forward into a personal prominence
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-

per she had that most dangerous of
accomplishments, quick wit and a
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 q
relief.
