| privileged to bask in the illuminatfons that mark where dwell the distinguish.
 ed official families of our national cap. itai are looking forward. to a winter oi lunprecedent pleasure. It Is hardly worth while to go into details for South. ern readers about these illustrious foll of the White House and the Cabine, and their social pets. The Southerr people have had no social intimacy with
 such persons for forty-five years. witt | lands times They have in no wise courted It, and there has been no evi. I dence on the part of the rulers in of. H flee and society of disposition to invoke the social aid of Southern men and wo. II men.
 II There is no Southern family whose
 head holds any high ofice in Washing.
 ton. There has not been since Mir. | Cleveland went out of office in 1897. \ The Southern family that in official | rank in the Roosevelt administration is | highest is a negro family. the family | of Judson w. Lyon. the Register of the l Treasury. The Southern family that is | next in rank Is another negro family l the family of Mir. Dancy, the Register l of Wills of the District of Columbia. I The most frequent Southern visitor at l the White House Is a colored gentle | man, Professor Booker T. Washington. I Anticipating the importunities of the l curious with respect to the large con | signment of presents from Oriental dig | nitaries to his daughter while she was | in the Philippines and other parts of l Asia, President Roosevelt has given or I ders that the Georgetown customs | house shall let nobody see what Miss I Alice brought back with her that was ! subject to duty. Perhaps after the ap- | praisement is made and the matter en-
 tirely settled. some official information may be given out concerning the gifts at the White House, but now Paul Pry and Polly Pry must only guess. It is surmised that so many were the toksns and souvenirs she received from the Asiatics that Miss Alice herself cannot
 tell definitely about the articles.
 l A notable addition of a serni-south- ern family to administration circles this witner wil be that of Commander and Mrs. Albert L. Key, the former late ma val attache at Tokio. Japaan, and re- gently appointed naval aide at the
 White House. Commander Key Is re-
 called as son of the late Judge David
 Nj. Key, of Chattanooga. Mrs. Key
 was Miss Grace Condit of this city. ant
 is sister of Major General Woods | wife. ~

 and spacious home at s15 John Marshal

 : Mrs Joseph W. Bailey. wife of Sen , ator Bailey, of Texas. has returned t Washington and occupied the home the. l will have during the session of Con
 gress, at 1905, N. Street. N. W. Mrs Bailey is a very popular woman, lik ' her distinguished husband, Mississip l plan by birth. A devoted wife an, mother, she Is not as fond of socia ! gaiety as some of her friends wish. F Mrs. John sharp williams, in he . own beautiful and unaffected way, al beloved by those who know her a l her husband Is popular with the legis lators, came here in advance of hin 3 several weeks ago.

 three children, Sallie, Kit" (Christo pher H. Williams, Jr.,) and Allison, sh } has taken apartments at the Irvington l, 1416 K Street, N. W. The children ar | going to school. An incident related O Kit shows that he is a, noticer o
 things. When he matriculated a school, the question usual for such oc
 casions was asked: What is you fathers busiuess? The answer wa

 Ex-Senator Gassaway Davis. las . years Democratic candidate for Vice President, will spend much of the win

 tive Thomas Davis, who was electe
 to fill the vacancy in the House cause |, by the resignation of Alston c. Day

 Federal District of West Virginia. Tn A Davises will have apartments at tn Arlington.
 Mrs. Lucien Young, wife of Cofnmarl a der Young, the misfortune of who's
 vessel, the gunboat Bennington, sub F jected him to investigation foilowe e by courtmartiel and a reprimand. wh f has been with her husband at Sa . Diego, Cal, where the naval ihquir n was held, has come back to Washing
 ton for the winter and to her home a = l721 Nineteenth Street. The Young e are exceptionally popular with al t Washington, especially with the South a ern people. Commander Young, al e though with a remarkable record fo s gallantry as a naval officer and an all
 round sea-dog. looks more to the man e ner born what he is, Kentuckiai e who would rather ride horseback an = time than any old ocean wave. Tn Q general sentiment here is that he wa t not in any way to blame for the de = struetion of the defective boat whlc e was given him to command, but tns o being commander, somebody had ! e figure in the measure of responsipilit
 and culpability. Then they say, to- f Young being we'll advanced, and for t man of his length of service in th t navy being exceptionally high in tn e line of promotion, the little devil e Jealousy which stays with the nay
 as with other branches of the pupil n service, was just humanly bound e give the jovial success of a Kentuck o sailor a jolt, if not 8 setback
