when he mace one
OF the happiest RESPONSES imaginable,
catching his auditors, who included the
leaders of congress and other prominent
men, with the aptness and thorough good
feeling of his remarks. He had been in
che United States less than week and he
had hardly freed himself of his sea legs.
He knew nothing about American habits
and traditions except what he had read
IN the somewhat uncongenial atmos-
phere of Persia, India and Madrid. Yet
he showed an appreciation of American
ways that some foreign representatives
spend years in Washington without ac-
qulring. 1t is little of puzzle to the
new ambassador that so many Amer
leans seem to have the faculty of public
speech. In his own country it is not near
sy SO frequently found as here, and the
readiness and aptness of the average
Yankee on his feet are source of con-
tinual amazement to him. Probably
made a few after dinner speeches In his
own tactful vein he will be less at a loss
TO account for the universally Of
talent which he has possessed uncon-
sclously all these years. Sir Mortimer is
assured already of great popularity in
Washington, and from present prospects
he will occupy worthily the place left
vacant by the demise of Pauncefote and
Aerbsrt, two of the most attractive per-
sonalities who have ever graced the
Washington diplomatic colony.

ABOUT ENGAGEMENTS.
If Girl Really Loves n Man She VIII
Wait for Him Patiently and
Without Doubt

1t is one thing to fall in love and an
other to propose marriage. Men may
be wise and cautious; they may have
most sensibly made up their minds that
it would be neither right nor fair for
them to speak, and they may have def
nltely resolved not to say word on
the subject of marriage till they have,
at least, a prospect of making a home
for wife.
Then there comes an accidental upset
to their calculations-a word, look, a
blush, smile. All these fine reasonings
are thrown to the winds; they have
blurted out the love they meant to keep
concealed till the correct moment of
aVoWal came. Araminta has confessed
she reciprocates the devotion she is, told
OF, and nothing remains but to ask
papas consent, and visit a jewelers..
But then comes the side that is not
all rapture. At first, to be engaged is
enough to send any two adoring people
up into seventh heaven of bliss; but
by and by that ceases, entirely to satisfy.
They would like to marry, to belong en-
tirely to each other; to set up house
Keeping, and know all the delights OF
home which the other shares. The true
test OF love is not in the proposing and
accepting, neither is it in the buying
and wearing the ring; it is in the wait
ing with patience and indefinite time
for the fulfillment of hope of which
the proposal and the engagement ring
were merely pledge.
the question again and again arises:
How long is it reasonable for man
to ask a girl to wait for him." If it is
year, or even two, or three, he may
be justified; for, after all, there is a
definite end to the waiting, which draws
nearer every day. But if after five
years, say, the end looks no nearer-if
ne is still just as unlikely to be able to
support wife-should he still expect
girl to go on wasting the best years of
her life on his behalf?
If she really loves him, it will not mat
ter to her though she waited for him
20 years. 1t will be suc:l an utter i'm
possibility, for her to think of any other
man than himself that she will not feel
her chances in other directions are be-
ing spoiled, for if she may not marry
him, she would rather not marry any
one else while the world lasts. She will
count any waiting short and light that
has the hope of being his wife at the end
of it, and she will wait without de-
sire 10 be free. If she does not love him
why, that is different matter, and she
had better rot undertake at all a waiting
which she will find intolerable-Chi
cago American.

sticklers for form, like Spooner and
Platt. If Senator Edmunds were still in
tbs senate it is safe to say that these vio-
lations of the spirit of the executive ses-
sion rule would be cut off abruptly, for
Edmunds never hesitated to call broth
er senator down when things seemed to
bs going contrary to established preced-
ents Just now there is nobody in the sem
ate with quite Edmunds sublime indif-
ference to the feelings of his neighbor, so
the viOlators of tradition go merrily on
and will continue 10 co so until it NAV
be that the executive session will have
become a thing of memory. This Ge-
velopmsn is after all only natural OUT
come OF the newspaper enterprise which
for years has made the executive session
something of farce Not within recent
memory has an executive session been
held about which the newspaper men
did rot learn sooner or later and the pro-
ceedings have been regularly published
as a matter of course. There are some
senators naturally who think it just as
we'll that what they say should be form
ally reported and officially disseminated
since the substance of it is sure to get
into the newspapers. If the executive
session were to be abolished altogether
it would save good many white lies on
the part of senators. There never yet
was a secret session the proceedings Of
which it was not to the, personal inter-
est of some senator to make public.
