SOCIAL GOSSIP OF THE DAY
Cuban Minister and Sonora Quesada
About to Leave City for
European Trip.
SOCIAL GOSSIP OF THE DA!

Several weil-known Washington soci-
ETY. people attended the sporting tea
party" given by Miss Marion Kemp in
her splendid stables III Rome the other
day, among the number being Mr.. and
Mrs Craig Biddle and Miss Warder, the
latter wearing her favorite color of red
both in gown and hat. The American
Ambassador and Mrs G. Won Lengerke
Meyer were also present.
Miss kemp's stables bear a marked
resemblance to the parlors of a country
house rather than a living place for
horses. there being a wide entrance hall
and two spacious passages fianked with
boxes. The interior decorations are in
white, and over the stall OF each hunter
are the brushes and masks they have
won for their mistress. In the stable
are donkey, some puppies. monkeys
guinea pigs, and rabbits. The stable was
further beautified with growing plants
and green wicker furniture, and all the
fashionable ==orld In Rome attended.

forming the difficult feat OF making
the bear execute a dance that would
delight the artistic soul of the Tyro-
lese. He has punctured the horny
hide Of our pachydermatous trusts,
and, like St. George, has pressed the
point of his lance into that fire
snorting, winged dragon, the rail-
roads. Last of all, and most difficult
stunt of all, he has met and subdued
those ravenous pie-eating animals
whose den is in the Capitol.
Glory be to Teddy!
His descent is traced in an un-
broken line from Nimrod, that mighty
hunter before the Lord, and he is pre-
pared to give his hunting ancestors
both cards and spades. Note the
press dispatch:
Three wolves were killed before din
ner. the President being always at the
head of the procession. No guns were
used.
No one will be surprised that the
President should head the procession,
nor will wonder arise that, like Percy
of Northumberland, and the Douglas
he prefers to get busy on an empty
stomach. These things were to be
expected. But the cause of admira-
ton and joy is found in the words:
No guns were used
That is what Americans call "a
square deal" That is listening to the
call OF the wild and answering it in
kind. That is getting back to the
methods of the fathers in earnest.
That is the real thing.
Would he. the apostle of the square
deal and the even chance, take ad-
vantage of helpless wolf and hunt
with guns?
Nay, far be such a thought from
Teddy!
