long been closely identified with the bust
ness interests of the District and have q
very large circle of friends. Mr. Herman
came to this country fifty-one years ago

he was born in 1888. He chose the District
OF Columbia as his home and in 1854 es-
tablished himself in business in this city in
a small store at the corner of Az and d
streets southwest Business prospered with
Mr.. Herman, and in 1855 he married Miss
1atta Goodman, who was living with her
brother in Baltimore, and who had come
to this country from Bavaria Just year
before Mr.. Herman's arrival. The couple
worked together in the little store, laboring
morning and night to build up a business
came to them. They were highly success
ful, and from time to time were compelled
to enlarge their establishment to keep pace
with the growth of their trade. In 1888 Mr..
Herman retired from active business turn
ing his establishment over to his two sons
Isaac and Albert, who had by that time
arrived at an age when they could relieve
their father of his cares Since 1888 Mr..
Herman and his wife have spent their time
travelling and watching their sons progress
along the path they marked out for them.
Mr.. Herman is a member of the Masonic
fraternity, a charter member of Osirus
Lodge, No. 20, and q thirty-second degree
Scottish Rite Mason. He enjoys the best
OF health and lives quietly with his faithful

from many viewpoints. The weddings on

marriage of Mr.. Frederick K Barbour and
Miss Helen n. Cooke at St Patriek's Mon
day was the first on the list and, although
the young couple desired no elaborate or
long planning ahead for their wedding. the
ceremony was a truly beautiful one, at
which assisted all the near kith and kin of
both parties as wen as their personal
friends and lifelong associates. The event
caused the same pleasurable excitement
that the announcement of the engagement
Of Miss Caroline Schroeder and DR.. john

Their wedding will take place next Sep

Mrs. Roosevelt has spent a quiet week,

The approaching marriage OF Prince de
Bearn and de Cha1ais and Miss Beatrice
Winans reyives interest in the long list of
titles to which the former has right as
well as the family jewels he can present his
bride. These latter are heirlooms of Marie
Antoinette given by that unhappy queen to
an ancestor of the prince, the Duchess de
Tourzel, her lady-in-waitlng, as a remem-
brance of their mutual suffering during the
reign of terror. The prince who went from
this post to st. Petersburg, very naturally
fell in love with the daughter of the man
whose name is linked with the construction
of the first Russian railways and whose
education and life abroad has especially fit
ted her to make foreign marriage Prince
de Eearn has many pleasant characteristics
which are considered far more valuable in a
young man in Washington society than
title, though the combination strengthens
his standing. He is to marry possibilities
or great wealth. another cons:dera ton of
value 1t is said that the couple, whose
wedding is fixed for the last of June will

Family history is recorded on the
clothes line.
There isn't enough frilling on facts
for women in a love affair.
The trouble with a fat woman is
she is it in every direction.
A married man is all sympathy
when he goes to friends wedding.
A man is brave when he will admit
he is afraid to argue with his wife.
Either a man supports his wife's
family or they support him, nowadays.
Being in public life consists chiefly
in being a target for everybody to
shoot at.
The older joke is the younger is
the fellow who gets it off for some
thing new.
Good poetry is something about
whose meaning everybody makes a
different guess.
People don't have to know very
much to get along if they only won't
talk their ignorance.
After man has run for Office being
mangled by an express train does not
seem at all brutal to him.
When man squeezes a girls hand
under the table he should be careful
1t is not some other girls.
Generally a woman is built to bor
own satisfaction when she has no no
tons about wearing common sense
clothes.
After a man has worked hard IN
make some money he can work twice
as hard to keep people from getting II
away from him.
The meanest thing a relative can do
TO a woman is to die and put her in
mourning right after she has bought
q lot of new clothes.
Some people are so mean abon4
money matters they would rather
spend more defending law suits 70
make them pay their bills than ~
would take to pay them. =

In the Other Pocket.

recounting the pile of pennies in his

"Oh, never mind" returned the munid

cent" was the moving rejoinder.
Sometimes it does happen to make
a difference If we know who owns the
cent. The New York Press tells this
story of man who, early on Monday
morning, came to the assistant treas.
urer of a church.
II attended service yesterday" said
he, land 1 made a mistake when you
took up the collection. 1 had a penny
and a five-dollar gold piece in my

Here he stopped to take breath, and
the other man interrupted him with
some impotence. He had heard just
that complaint before. Somebody's
was always hunting a fve-dollar gold
piece.
Il think you were mistaken" said
he. "We had no five-dollar god piece
in Sundays collection"
That's just what 1 am trying to
get at" said the old gentleman. you

was visiting their home and glancing
around the room he spied a portrait

cause it failed to portray his likeness
well enough for his most intimate
friend to recognize it.
"Whom does that portrait repre-

"'Well, you see,' he replied, our
family portraits are so old that l can
not now tell who they all are. They
have been in the family long time,
YOU know. But they are all numbered

By that time the guest was so great
