to grow old the crows feet planted
themselves in her once pretty face and
cheeks. and new suitors did not come TO
bow at her feet. Finally, in later life,
she became sick near unto death. as
the good Book says. The minister was
sent fora big, overgrown. bashful
young fellow; and the sickroom was
filled with sympathizing neighbors when
the young divine made his appearance.
After few words he took the Bible
and read little Scripture, the chapter
which speaks of the woman of Samaria.
and when he uttered the words. Co call

little; but when the young minister
continued. The woman answered and
said II have no husband the sick
woman rose up in bed and squalled out:

chances for husband. and I'll live to

woman caused her TO get well. and she
did get another chance 20 marry, too.

n mister abroad, alike to a woman in
OF tcial society AZ Washington has ire
msndous number OF calls TO make each
year. but many OF her obligations OF this
character she discharges. OF course. by
simply leaving cards instead or paying
personal visits.
Some idea OF the scope of the house
hold duties which call for the general
supervision OF an American .ambassa-
dress at leading European capital may
be gained from the fact that Mrs.
Choate, wife Of the American ambassa-
dor at London. never has less than
thirty servants on her pay roll, and on
the occasion of a great social function
the force is sweIled to fully double that
number. Speaking Of Mrs. Choate IL
may be noted that the wife OF an Ameri-
can envoy at prominent European
court has plenty of minor troubles, ow-
ing to the presence in Europe at almost
all seasons of great numbers OF Ameri-
can tourists. Each year dozens OF trav-
elers from the United States, whose
funds have run low as the result of un-
expectedly heavy expenditures in for

Sans legation at Madrid; Mrs. Francis

ant Secretary of State, had in quick
succession interims of social leadership
at Caracas and Lisbon: and so on
through a rapidly lengthening list
And what are the social duties of an
American ambassadress or the wife of
a United States minister? Pretty nearly,
it might be answered, what she chooses
to make them: just as are those Of the
mistress of the White House. The
American embassy or legation at a for,
eign capital is the social center of the
American colony" just as the White
House is the social center at Washing
ton. In each instance, the mistress, to
cefxain extent. sets the social pace.
II she entertains lavishIy, society natu-
rally is glad; but. on the other hand, If
her hospitabi{ties be far from extensive,
no fault can be found with her policy so
long as she discharges the few tradi-
tional duties which Americans abroad
regard as incumbent upon wives of the

sation of Inequalities with the wives
and daughters of tho leading foreign
diplomats seems all the more remark
able when Il is remembered that Miss
Columbia's daughters are as rule
plunged into the responsibilities of such
positions suddenly and with little or no
opportunity for preparation, whereas
the ladies of foreign diplomatic house
holds invariably come 70 positions of
prominence in this social realm only
after years of training in the school of
practical experience. Our republican
system of filling appointive Offices is
largely responsible for this In the for
eign service man takes up diplomatic
work as an under secretary. or clerk to

new post in a different country every
couple of years. and the consequence is
that when the time comes for his wife
to assume the social responsibilities of
an ENJOYS wife she has been prepared

little niceties OF society's manner and
customs in number Of the capitals of

American Holidays Observed.
In many of the foreign capitals. az,
for instance. Paris, the American envoy
and the hostess of Uncle Sans dipIo-
matte establishment give great public
receptions on New Year Day. the Fourth
of July. and Thanksgiving Day To
these any person may go just as any
person may attend the Presidents recep-
ton at the White House on New Year
Day. In addition the mistress of the
embassy or legation is likely to hold
afternoon receptions several times each
season. or perhaps once a week. Din
ners are given to distinguished Ameri-
can who visit the capital where an en-
voy is stationed and to high officials OK

is accredited. but there is no rule to be
followed in this and the dinners may
be few or many. according TO the tastes

most important diplomatic positions are
distributed as political Dlums. and con-
sequently 1t frequently happens that an
American woman who has never in her
life been beyond the borders of her own
country is suddenly caAed upon to take
her place among the leading hostesses
Of a strange people in a strange land.
But as 1t has been said that every
American is a born politician, so might
it be declared with equal truth that
every American woman has an instinc-
tive ambition TO shine as a social leader
and. because of this second nature. the
woman from the United States can al
ways be depended upon to hold her own

Demands on Time and Temper.
Even more difficult to meet arr the de-
mands OF the great army OF socially
ambitious American women who seek
presentation at court or invitations to
court functions To show how hopeless
is the situation it may be poiated out
that there are five royal drawing rooms
or levees at the British court each year,
and not more than six persons may be
presented by the American envoy at any
one function, a total for the season OF
thirty. and yet the Ambassador and
Mrs. Choate never have less than three
hundred applications for the coveted
distinction.
The wife Of every American envoy at
a foreign capital has. OF course, more
or less opportunities for catching in
teresting glimpses Of life denied even
TO her tourist sister, but probably the
most novel experiences are those which

Uncle Sans representatives in the
Orient. For instance, Mrs. Conger, wife
Of the American minister 10 China, has
been received a number OF times by
the ultra-fashfonable and uItra-exclusivs
Empress. and similar opportunities have
come 70 Mrs. Lloyd Griscom. the bride
of the United States minister to Japan.
The wives of our ministers at the capt.
tails Of Central and South America are
very pleasantly situated. In the Pan
American republics the agent OF Uncle
Sam is distinctly the most important
man in the diplomatic corps. and this
prestige extends TO the soci@I atmos-
phere in which his wife moves.

tween the dispatch and delivery of a
telegram would also be caused. An APP
paratus had therefore to be found which
would Immediately develop. fix. and de-
liver the telegram in at least half dry
condition. The inventors were success
full in constructing an apparatus by
which the development Is done in from
five to six seconds. the fixing in from
six to seven seconds, and by which the
kilograms come ont of the apparatus
ready for use. The paper is almost quite
dry, the top layer of gelatine only being
still little moist; this can, however be
Immediately dried by application Of blot
ting paper or similar material, so that
the kilograms are ready Cor delivery

The apparatus is so arraageo> that short
ribbons as well as ribbons over twenty
five meters long and seven INNS. wide
containing from 10000 to Il. 900 words,
can be Immediately developed and fixed.
The Perforating Machine.
The problem of making a perforator
by which the telegram to be delivered
can be rapidly perforated was also most
successfully solved by the inventors,
who constructed a perforating machine,
which is worked like a typewriting ma
chine, and which can therefore be ma
nipulated by any typewriter. after a few
hours practice. This machine can per-
forate up 10 five and six letters a sec
ond, and is so arranged that, If even
two keys are pressed down simultan-
eously, no mistake can occur
The text of the telegram TO be dis
patched is noted down on paper ribbons
in perforations, reminding one of the
Morse signs. This notation is made by
means of a perforating device which is
perfectly independent of the telegraph
apparatus.
The sign transmitter deals with these
paper ribbons quite automatically. The
paper ribbon is carried through two
rollers. One of these rollers consists Of
rings. isolated from one another, each
ring being electrically connected with the
corresponding junctures Of a battery,
giving different degrees of potentials

IT HERE has lately been pretty
general observance OF moving
day on the part OF Uncle Sans
representatives abroad. Among
the agents Of this Government who have
lately taken possession of new habita-
tions are the ambassadors to Great
Britain. Germany, and Russia, anc the
minister to Turkey. As every housewife
knows. the transfer OF a twentieth cen
tury domestic establishment is no small
chore under the best Of circumstances.
Therefore, Miss Columbia's daughters
who have successfully met the ordeal in
the capitals OF the Old World. where
many American conveniences are miss
ing. and where the supposedly perfect
servant system holds many unpleasant
surprises, are perhaps deserving of a
special measure of credit.
However. the ease and rapidity with
which the mistresses of Uncle Sans
diplomatic households in London, Ber-
lin, Constantinople, and St. Petersburg
have settled themselves in new homes is
by no means the first exhibition which
has been given Of the resourcefulness
which a Yankee heIpmate can bring to
the most exacting of social positions in
international oficialdom. Even before
the United States became so prominent
a world power as she is at present the
American embassies and legations were
distinctly social centers in most capitals
and this prestige has been enhanced
with the nations growing importance in
the eyes of her neighbors.

In this way one is able to dispatch
about 400 curernt impulses per second.
while on the hand dispatcher at present
In use, the number of these impulses
sent hardly amounts to 5-6 per second.
The receiver makes use of the vibra-
lions by the current in the sensitive dia-
phragm Of a telephone to receive these
rapid series OF impulses.
BY means of a mirror resting on a
point firmly fixed in front OF the vibrat-
ing diaphragm. the vibrations throw
rays Of an incandescent lamp on to a
ribbon of sensitive paper. In this way
the vibrations of the diaphragm are
photographically fixed in the shape Of a
wave line
The most effective and ingenious mart
of the invention is the Improvement by
means Of which the inventors, through
double transmitting and receiving ap-
paratus of twofOld impulses sent on a
double wire. impaired to the small mir
ror twofold movement, namely, a YER
tical and horizontal axial vibration or
movement. BY a successful ,combina-
ton of these vibrations, the reflected
ray writes the text Of the telegram in
the well-known letters Of the written
Latin alphabet Or the Iight-sensitive pa
per ribbon.
The Photographic development and fix
ing take place a tomatically In a spe-
cial part of the re eiver so that the por-
ton of the ribbon leaving the apparatus
which contains TIL full contents of the
telegram. can be elivered Direct TO the
persons addressed.
Valuable FOR Repeated Messages.
In addition TO the great speed of tel
egraphing, another great advantage OF
tins system is that the person Dispatch
ing the telegram can prepare the per-
forated slip on his own perforator, and

be repeated there. I'd be sent TO many
addresses in the 81 rtest time. In this
way one can, on ne one hand. guard
against mutilatin of the telegram
and reform the int lligence service to
much more rapid one, and on the other
hand prepare befor' hand detailed direc-
tons or Information on perforated slips
