The "Whatnots were charmingly en-

home on Union street Friday evening.
1t was strictly Heart party, every
thing being in the shape OF hearts.
The rooms we're Prettily decorated with
hearts hung on ribbon and lighted
with colored lights.
During the evening different games
were enjoyed, among which were a
heart hunt, which was won by Mrs
Fred Rockwood; and heart conun
drums, the most of which we're guessed
by Miss Carolyn Phillips.
The most amusing feature of the
evening was a series of original val
entines contributed by the different
guests. Miss Jessie Potterwas award
ed the prize for the best one, with Miss
Gertrude Evans, a close second.
The guests sat down to dainty re-
past about ten. Therefreshmenls we're

ticable.
The party broke up about 1870, af-
ter giving cheer for the BIB team.

Mr.. Hansen has for several

Special to the indianapolis Journal.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-There was more
talk here to-day concerning Senator Fair
banks and the vice presidency. The Star
tonight says: 1.-THE support of Senator
Fairbanks extends beyond his own State,
and is gathering prominence and strength
not generally known. Senator Cullom,
of Illinois, thinks that Senator Fair
banks is the man who ought to
be nominated. and there are others
in the Senate of the same opinion. Senator
Cullom says that If Senator Fairbanks
would accept the nomination he would be an
excellent man on the ticket. He believes
also that Senator Fairbanks could not do
otherwise than accept the nomination If
offered to him. President Roosevelt did not
desire to accept the same nomination, Sen
ator Cullom says but did so. Conditions
have changed as to the vice presidency in
the last few years, and IL Is a position to
be sought and not TO be Stunned, as in the
past. Senator Cullom predicts that the
ticket this year will be Roosevelt and Fair
banks"
Representatives HeI enway and Watson
called at the White House to-day and spent
about an hour with the President The sit
uation in Indiana and politics generally
was discussed The call followed by
the report that the vice presidency was dis
cussed and that the Indianians desired to
secure some idea as TO the attitude toward
ton for this report. Messrs. Hemenway and
Watson stating that the conversation with
the President was along general lines and
of no particular significance.
