The first assistant postmaster gen.

A House Warming in Panama.
Mr.. John Barrett. the American min
lister to Panama, gave a house-warm-
ing reception at the American lega-
ton in Panama a short time ago. 1t
was given in honor of the President of
the tiny republic and Sonora Anador,
and incidentally did honor to America.
American and Panaman flags were ev-
erywhere entwined, and flowers, cleo
trio lights, etc, were used with elab-
crate effect. President Roosevelt's por-
trait draped with flags, had con-
spicuous place.
The recent marriage of Mr.. James
Brown Potter of New York to Miss
May Handa, a noted Southern beauty,

former Mrs. James Brown Potter, are

charmingly attired in gray travelling
gown, with black lace hat, and wore

She probably led a far more strenuous

her off entirely from the intellectual

At the last dinner which Miss Wilson
attended at the Country Club in Wash

and this is what she told: During
ner automobile trip this summer
through Colorado with the Walsh
party, when they were nearing Den
yer by rail, where they took the tour
ing car, there was considerable delay
at a small way station, and upon in
quiry it was found that just as the
train was about to pull out a young
tramp was found riding on the truck
under the train. He was hauled out.
and in his argument Mrs. Walsh, who
had joined the curious crowd at the
car windows, heard him say in cheer
full tones that he would have contin-
ued his walk to Denver but for his
sore feet, made worse by ragged shoes.
With the great kindness of heart that
characterizes her. Mrs. Walsh insisted
upon her husbands buying a ticket to
Denver for the young man and Civ
ing him besides small sum of money.
This was done so quietly that hardly
anybody on the train knew it. The
tramp, however. found out that his
generous host was Tom Walsh, the
Colorado millionaire, who, it is said
out West, may run for the Senate
next year from his state. So when
Denver was reached the tramp walked
into the hotel Office where the Walsh
party stopped, told the story and
begged the clerk to assure Mr.. Walsh
of the undivided truck vote in Colo

MUSIC SEASON OF 19O4-O5
is CLOSE BY
1t Promises to Be an Unusually Brilliant One
in Savannah.

The busy rush of the musical sea
son is about to begin. The first art
ist concert, under the auspices of the
Savannah Music Club has been an
nounced for early in November. Cam
panari with a company of other artists
is the attraction.
People musical and otherwise, after
the happy freedom of the summer are
returning with renewed energy and de-
termination to do something worth
while during the coming winter. The
teacher, who has been fortunate enough
to visit one of the many summer re-
sorts, where music is a feature. is
more enthusiastic than ever, welcom-
ing old and new pupils.
The Music Club will hold its first
meeting of the season Thursday Oct
20, at Lawton Memorial. An excel
lent programme is being arranged.
The loss of Miss Gnosspelius is sin
cerely felt by her pupils, friends and
admirers. She will be greatly missed
from the music club, where she had
always contributed a full share of most
creditable work.
The departure of Miss Emma Co

to its artistic support, so valuabIa
that it is difficult to think of a, club
programme without her assistance. 1t

THE EVERLASTING SERVANT
QUESTION IN BIG CITIES
Nearly Half the Women in New York Who Want
Servants Cannot Get Them

New York, Oct. S.-The everlasting
servant question is much more acute
in New York this year than ever be-
fore. One of the local newspapers es-
Inmates that quite 40 per cent. of the
women here who want servants can
not get them, and are obliged either
to do their own cooking or ask their
husbands to take the family "out" to
meals.
1t is probable that this newspapers
estimate is correct. Among the ac-
Quaintances of the writer the talk OF
the impossibility of getting servants is
incessant. Nor is it alone among the
families with very moderate incomes
that the dearth of servants exists.
Families with incomes ranging from
$1,000 to $500 a year are bothered
almost as much as those whose in
comes range from $500 OTTO $1,000. OF
course the family that can pay from
500 to $50 month for servants stands
a better chance of being supplied than
a family of less means, but the fact

working greatly to the advantage of
the apartment hotels. They are in
creasing at ane enormous rate, and, Of
course, so is the number Of middle
class men who are not getting ahead
financially. For the expense OF living
in an apartment hotel in this city is

Gay Legation to be Closed.
Society people hear with regret that
the once hospitable home Of the Pc
ruvian legation is about to change
hands. The minister, Senior Calderon,
with his son and Mr. Candemo, the
junior attache of the legation, will take
up their headquarters in one of the
hotels of the city, while Sonora CAL
deron and her lovely daughters will
spend the coming winter at Rome. This
legation has for the past few years
been by far the most popular of the
diplomatic homes In Washington, the
entire time of the family being devoted
to society. 1t was here that Miss
Roosevelt was the guest of honor at
the first ball ever given by a South
American diplomat to a Presidents
daughter.
The most interesting betrothal an
nouncement Of the season is that of
the new minister from the Neither
lands, Mr.. Jonkheer r. de Marees van
Swinderen, and Miss Elizabeth Glover,
the pretty daughter of a local family
of social prominence. The Netherlands
diplomat of the astonishing name has
been here only about six months, hav-

DEATH HAS CAST A GLOOM
OVER WASHINGTON SOCIETY
Retirement of the Paynes and CorteIyous from
the Official Circle,

Washington, Oct. s.-Postmaster
General Payne's death together with
that of Mrs. Cortelyous mother, again
casts gloom over the cabinet circle,
and retires from society several of it's
well-beloved members. The retirement
of the Paynes means the bringing of a
new family into official prominence,
though with Mr.. Cortelyou as Post
master General there will still be an
absence from society of his family.

The much-talked-of wedding of Miss
Jean Morton. niece of the new Secre-
tary of the Navy, which occurred last
Saturday afternoon at Nebraska City,

boon indeed.
All the same. and despite the con-
stantly increasing prosperity OF the
apartment hotels the suburbs of this
big town are growing and likely to
grow with growth that is nothing
short of the marvellous.
Perhaps the Borough Of the Bronx,
which, though part of the city as at
present incorporated. is all on the
main land. and. therefore. really
suburb, is growing faster than any
other outside residential region. An
old New Yorker who had not visited
that part of the greater city for half
a dozen years spent last Sunday there,

ing his friends with what he declares
is the most amazing progress in the
opening of new Streets the erection
of new buildings and development in

new city up there; a city that any
where but in the shadow of Manhat-
tan would figure large In the news
of the day, and upon which the eyes
of the world would frequently be

The old New Yorker is right The
Borough OF the Bronx is forging ahead
with such strides that Il reminds Won
of the old farmers corn crop, which
he said, one July, was doing so well
that you could fairly hear It grow in

The local paper quoted above with
reference to the servant question in
New York. has discovered that many
more New Workers than formerly dine
out on Sunday.
This is true and the reason given
that many servants nowadays insist
on Sunday nights "off"-is also true.
But the situation isn't so new as the
paper in question seems to believe. nor
is II at all peculiar to New York II
exists far more generally In many mid
die Western towns OF from 5000 10 20
