Alice Was Missing.


When Princess Alice arrived from
her four months outing i'm Oriental
seas, she had barely hung up her hat
in the wardrobe. when Mrs. RooseNet
accompanied by all the available small
RooseVelts. took her valise and rushed
off 10 Old Point Comfort IN the govern
ment Yacht, the Dolphin, and remained
absent for three days Miss Alice IN
the meantime ruled the White House
i'm solitary grandeur, and had nlca
time. Then she flew 20 New York, BOs-
ton and Connecticut. Next came the
Thanksgiving day episode, when the
princess had only arrived ana very
likely expected To eat her turkey I'D
the state dining room i'm the White
House. That was what she supposen
her hurry orders meant when she was
having a good restful time at Farming
ton with her faVorite aunt, Mrs.
CowIes But she declined to ION the
heller SHELTER party which left WASH

Princess has no opinion whatever OF
rural lows, and the lonely farmhouse
heated bv smoky stoves, was not TO
be i'm hers. not while Washington re-

The presidents flight on the national
festival mas suggested the probability
that the honorable Horace Nose Of
Rhode Island will feel that his turkey

being eaten at the White House table
on Thanksgiving day. He never IN

purposes. The press dispatches did not
inform the pubic whether the presi-
dents family lived on cold turkey, tur-
KEY hash. turkey stew and soup for the
two DAYS of the sojOuTn in the wilder
ness but probably that was the case
since no mention was made Of any
other provisions accompanying the
party.
The Vice President and Mrs. Fair

This will be the initial banquet In the
series which is given each winter ny

Mrs Fairbanks is still excluded from
the boudoir conferences. but she goes
her way serenely and is making her
ARRANGEMENTS for a busy season. she
will receive this winter on Wednes-
F DAYS, and Notwithstanding the indis-
nsnt protests of Mrs. Hitchcock and
some others, she viii continue ir

other cabinet hostesses viii take their

would not only exclude refreshments
from her weekly receptions, but she
would cut off the heads of the callers,

/ Back to College.
Robert Fairbanks. the vice presi-
dents third son, has turned his back
/ on the emoluments of the Office Of sec
rotary 10 his father and hied him back

4 tary to the'vice president is not with
out honor, and some men would think

It pays something like $4,000 q year.
But il appealed not TO the handson1est
OF the vice presidents sons. He wants
to be a miner, to go to Mexico and
lead an adveuturesome life. This
thing of bowl ing and scraping to call
ers and listening to their troubles. is
not his way TO fame and fortune. 1t
is a calamity. this detection, when
there are not half a dozen eligible
young men m this whole blessed city.

college and viii be here only at brief
intervals during the holidays.
Grip Has the Sulks.
Mr. Grip. erstWhile minister from
Sweden and Norway, is sulking in New
York. This gentleman furnished an
impressive object lesson in the way
OF dropping the bone to grasp the
shadow. He first loudly proclaimed
his allegiance 10 his native land, Nor

cepted and he returned TO Washington
this autumn after an incidental So

German Spas But when he returned
to his post he made the mistake OF
claiming 10 represent both govern
