One of the most important women in
Washington today is Miss Margaret Wade,
who has recently been appointed social Sec
rotary to Mrs. Fairbanks, wife of the vice
president, writes a Washington correspond
ent to the Philadelphia North American.
To those unfamiliar with social life at the
national capital-and every year Washing
ton Is growing more and more to be the
social center and inspiration of the coun-
try-such an announcement may seem
strange.
One, however, has only to bear in mind
the fact that official fashionable functions
in Washington have of late years assumed
much of the nature Of court life at old
world capitals, and to that extent Washing
ton society is officially the society" of tho
country.
For that reason, largely, many wealthy
people of the United States are building
palatial homes at the national capital, with
the hope of getting admission into the
official four hundred.
The fact that the diplomatic corps con-
tains many titled Europeans and that the
general social and diplomatic standing of
the corps has been gradually rising OF late
years, through the evolution OF young min
listers to ambassadorial rank and the en-
largement of their embassies, together with
the desire, born not so many years ago,
of leading diplomats of the world 20 serve
at Washington has tended to increase the
Importance Of the capitals official society
In this, naturally, the wife of the vice
president, next TO the wife of the president
is the leader.
These two women are arblters, In large
degree, OF the social fate of aspiring
washingtonians and Of people from other
parts OF the country who seek entree into
court life"
Mrs. Fairbanks Is expected to entertain
considerably during the, term of her hus-
band. II is Of vast Importance, therefore,
that social aspirants have their names upon
her list not only for the privilege and
pleasure OF attending the functions given
by her. but because the stamp of her APP
prevail is necessary as a qualification to the
ranks OF oficial fashion.

They give the only touch Of color on some
OF the new hats.
Plain tight-htting three-quarter coats are
worn with the plated skirts in street suits:
Some are dOuble-breasted to the waist ana
others have fly fronts.
In the silks 1t might be claimed that the
taffetas lead. But this would be saying too
much. There are glossy silks which are
very popular and moire SILK Is again seen.
Velvet buttons are worn on the new
suits, also those Of silk crochet, and where
the revers of jacket are faced with q
poplin silk the buttons are covered with
material to match.
Plum, heliotrope and reseda are among
the new shades and a suit OF terra Gotta
In broadcloth makes rich and hand
some suit. 1t is trimmed with fancy enects
In a half-inCh silk braid in color to match.
Handsome pipngs of silk so planned that
they border the regular trimmings and are
used for edgings to cuffs, revers rutiles
of this piping and no gown but looks the
better for 1t.
Plain taffeta Is rather old for young
girl, but the light colored striped and
lowered tafret1s are lovely for evening
dresses. They are not in as good taste as
organizes ana muslins, which can be made
dressier by colored or white taffeta slips
worn underneath.
White fets are smart outing hats for
fall, and there are many beautiful ones
shown A pretty hat in small soft shape
is draped with a long white chinon Veil
with ends having several two-inch tuoks,
falling at the back. The ven is caught
around the rim with sprays Of moss rose
buds, blossoms and leaves, and is charm
ing.
Every schoolgirls outfit should include
sweater and a raincoat. The sweater Will
save many cold taken because the girl
doesn't want TO bother with wraps on
walk or when exercising out Of doors.
Sometimes, too, the schoolroom Is draughty
and the sweater will be Just the thing TO
slip on. The best sweater for girls has
blouse effect, and ends in a belt at the
waist line. 1t has close but easy-ttung
turnover collar and cuffs, sometimes In
contrasting colors.

PIuckx RussIan Girl.

American girls are commonly considered
the most venturesome and unconventional
In the world, but it is a question II many
of them would care to start on just such
a year of adventure and exploration as a
young Russian girl, Marie Ouspensky, who
has been a student at the Summer School
of Philanthropy this summer, has had.
Miss Ouspensky came to America a year
ago to see II she could complete the studies
begun at a Russian university, learn Eng
lish and earn her living at the same time.
She was also anxious TO make a study OF
economic conditions in America,
In the last year she has worked in
button factory, she has made sleeves in
ready-made clothing establishment, she has
assisted Prof. Vladimir Simkhovitch in
some literary work and she has been hired
girl for an upstate farmers wife.
Asked what she had found the greatest
advantage OF living in America she made
the reply: II can read Russian maya
zines"
you know" she explained, III I were
caught reading our liberal magazines at
home I would go to jail. 1t Is very tire
some to keep thinking Of the police all the
time one is reading Here l can read our
liberal papers in peace.
You can read what you like and say
what you like in America. That is your
greatest blessing"
Nevertheless Miss ouspensky will return
10 Russia this fall.
Il must earn money while study" said
she; here l can only work In a factory.
At home can easily earn my living teach
ing and keep on with my course"
When Miss ouspensky desired 70 extend
the field Of her observation to American
farm life she went TO Albany and then
started on a walking tour TO find work.
At PattersonWlle, a little village near
Schenectady, she found a farmers wife
who wanted a servant. She worked at this
place for a month. Asked the result Of her
observations she said quantity:
Your peasants, they are not like ours
They are educated they read and write"

Keep Her Memory Green.

There has recently been manifested
among some American historians a dis
position to call In question the truth of
the romantic story of Pocahontas, and some
have even gone so far as to assert that
the Indian princess was a myth. at least
as far as her rescue of Captain John
Smith from the murderous and blood
thirsty savages is concerned. There can
be no question, says the Baltimore Ameri-
can. that an Indian woman who bore this
name had an existence, married John Rolfe,
went with him to England and there died,
leaving behind her a son. who came to this

Agnes valentine Kelley, NJ. D., Of Mead
VILE, Pa, thinks that the poor white chill
dren Of the south need to be educated as
we'll as the poor blacks. She writes in the
Arean:
"I have promised the Governors or
Louisiana and Alabama to undertake the
task Of building 100 plain country school
houses in these two commemorative. Some
of this work 1 can do alone, and so far
as my means will permit cheerfully de-
vote them to the cause; but to accomplish
the entire task 1 must have help. The
governors Of both states offer me their
hearty cooperation and assure me that 1
have the cordial sympathy and cooperation
OF every officer in their state. 1 am
southern woman and know the southern
people and their needs.
1.-THE northern people give munlhcently
to universities, to public libraries, to
churches, to the missionaries In China In
dia and Africa; but where in all the wide
world is there a more fruitful field for
effective work than the rural primary
schools in the south where there are tens
Of thousands OF bright, intelligent Ameri-
can boys and girls eager for that start
which the primary school alone can give
that start which will enable them to
exercise the sacred duties of citizenship
intelligently and to advance successfully
along various avenues of legitimate and
productive labor.
My purpose is to go personally and To-
cate the site Of each building, being care
full that these houses are built where they
are most needed, and shall personally SUI
perintend the erection Of every building,
photographing the site before work is be-
gun, the laying Of the corner stone, the
building during process of construction,
and also the school after its completion.
Governors Jelks of Alabama and Blan-
chard of Louisiana have promised to be
present and lay the corner stone of the
first building in each of their respective
states. They have also promised that the
laying of every succeeding corner stone
shall be accompanied by appropriate cere-
monies"

About the Women Folks

country and from whom some Of the most
prominent families Of Virginia trace their
descent. There seems to be no good rea-
son for doubling the truth OF the words
Captain Smith used In the book he wrote
to tell Of his own experience in this land
when II was new and when the aboriginss
had much 20 say regarding the conduct Of
affairs. He pictures this Indian maiden as
"a child Of tenne years old, which not only
for feature, countenance and proportion
much exceedeth any Of the rest Of Pow
hatan's people. but for wit and spirits the
nonpareil Of his country" Though the
story of her rescue Of Smith did not make
its appearance until she had married and
gone to London, yet the captain seems to
have been a veracious chronicler in other
respects, and his tale Of the womans risk
OF her own life to save his is surely worthy
Of belief, at least until better and stronger
evidence Of tho falsity is brought forward
than has yet been discovered.
There is now on foot plan to honor the
memory Of this American heroine by erect
ing at jamestown, Va, in connection with
the tercentennial to be held in 1907, Po-
cahontas monument in conspicuous place
on the grounds. Though 800 years have
passed since she lived and died, no stone
except that over her English grave has
her name upon it, though she has always
been a conspicuous and romantic figure
in the early history Of the land. The move
ment is to be encouraged and the doubt
cast upon her should not be allowed to
stand in the way Of the erection of shaft
that shall tell the story of the Indian
princess, not only to thousands of people
of the present day, but to generations yet
to come.

A corporation of women in Indianapolis
has turned its attention to the subject OF
house building, realizing that women nave
succeeded so we'll as owners OF cluD-
houses, and proposes to build small artis-
tic houses for people of moderate means.
The corporation will work under the name
Of the Woman's realty company, and its
president is a woman who has built houses
before. The vice president Is the city
librarian, Miss Eliza Browning, and the
secretary is Miss Wales, woman long
associated with business interests in In

Satin, instead Of chiffon OF illusion, will
be worn by the fall brides, and their paths
will be strewn with chry nthemums, fra
grant and thoughtful, reports the Brooklyn
Eagle. The brides Of fall must go a little
more seriously to the altar than the blush
ing maidens Of rosy, dancing springtime,
but not the less does Joy wait upon them.
Autumn is the death of life. but it is also
the renewal of life, and while the leaves
are falling outside and the wind muttering
ominously in the trees, the ingleside is
drawing us together with its warmth and
brightness, homes are opening their hos
pitable doors and voices sounding along
empty corridors So the brides of fall must
turn with loving thoughts TO the homes
which await their coming, their faithful
care. There must be hands now busy with
autumn trousseaus, many hearts now plan
ming the new ways to be trod The bridal
wells are woven by the steel fingers Of ma
chinery, yet there must be fairies present
at their making even in all the noise and
clatter of the mandatory. They are not
quite like other things-those rolls of snowy
earth foam which are to mark the greatest
day in woman's life. They are bought in
stores with other things The clerk meas
ures them of in yards as she does more
common things-and yet--how wonderful It
seems, The hurried shoppers pause and
smile most gently when they see a pretty
girl with rosy cheeks and tender eyes bend
ing over the snowstorm upon the counter.
The clerk looks UP with a new interest in
her faded eyes. Perhaps she, too, is a
pretty girl and will some day wear the
symbol OF her vows. Perhaps It has gone
by for her; some tragedy unknown to any
but herself has swept her past the sacred
day of bridehood. What It must mean to
such women when they measure out the
wells for others TO wear. But autumn
wanes! What are you going to wear with
your wells. you brides Of sweet September?
Love, strength industry, purity, high
ideals, all are there, and tolerance, too,
is needed with these things in your hearts,
and the Illusion Hateful name) about your
fair young forms, you will go forth upon
roads that may be sunny, that may be
dark, but that will lead you, God willing,
to the same blest haven-true knowledge
and true acceptance of life and love.

One OF these. curiously enough. Is a

pended from her arm completing her
picturesque costume. Punctuslty, or over
unpunctuality, Is her strong point. She

lecture begins and spends the time in
knitting OF crocheting one waits with
nervous anxiety to see what the old lady
does when the lights are rung down and

cident. indeed, or a dazzling picture, which
can take the industrious old Friends at

Another golden opportunlst" Is very
pretty young woman living in West Phila-
delphia, who always takes her fancy work
with her when she goes on railroad trips.
Innumerable centerpieces and doilies have
been created while she was being carried
across mountains and rivers and valleys at
the rate Of sixty odd miles an hour.

Why Phoenix Feels Good.

The merchants and real estate men of Phoenix are entering upon the fall season with high hope They believe, and reasonably. that never before have so many factors of prosperity for the valley been combined. The combina- tion amounts to almost a cinch-like trust, though no man will say it is in contravention of the Sherman law, for it is not in restraint of trade.
 Phoenix has always been hopeful, at times, it is true, when prosperity was not obviously imminent. There was always something to mar the prospect. But now there is nothing. The season Of the merchants ia following upon the heels of a good season for the farmers. whose crops have been abundant, and whose products of grain and live stock have brought extraordinary prices. The balance between mortgages and mort gage releases has been well over on the right side.
 The progress which has been made on the Tonto dam has been such that people at home, as well as investores abroad are inclined to discount the benefcent results of that great work of the Reclamation Service, so that be- fore January 1 a great deal of realty win. without doubt, change hands.
 The absolute assurance of the opera tion of the sugar beet factory next year is another important factor in the growing prevalence of good feeling. Then there is the certainty that this town is to become Q railroad center. Another healthful and gentle stimulant Is the first territorial fair, now less than two months off.
 There is still another influence which the Salt River Valley shares with all other regions offering investment, the wonderful prosperity of the rest of the country. plethoric with money, seek ing an outlet.
