The Washington times., 1906-06-03

Washington-but it is a fact that
the social pace in our Capital is en-
tirely too much for the average
European woman or man, and while
they try to adapt themselves TO 1T
for a time like Lady Durand, Bar
oness HengeImuller, and others,
they have TO fall back to normal
life, or altogether quit society.
The demand here on diplomats is
almost unceasing. Baron and Par-
oness Moncheur did not enjoy half
dozen dinners at home during the
social season, being asked Out-and
expected 70 go, too-every night.
They wished 70 pay their obliga-
tions. of course, and the nights they
might otherwise have enjoyed a
family dinner they needs must have
company
The largest event of the week
which interested Washington people
generally was the lawn fete ana
band concert at Boundary Castle,
when Mrs. Henderson not only gave
her beautiful house and lawn for
the event. but had the electrical
illumination, costing several hun
dred dollars, put up at her own ex-
pense.
There was nc effort at intrOduc-
ing extravagant novelties, but TAX
ing it all in all it was one of the
most delightful affairs given for
charity this season; and may be
wisely chosen as a pattern for fu-
ture events instead of spending
money on spectacular effects. There
was something akin TO a private en-
tertainment in Mrs. Henderson, s
greeting of people at her house
Thursday night, and everybody en-
ioyed it. After meeting her they
passed on to the drawing rooms,
and gallery, then TO the exquisitely
lighted lawn and gayly decorated
barn, where the young people held
sway all evening.
Women wore their prettiest gar
den party gowns and hats, and there
were twenty-five daintily costumed
girls there to serve them with re-
freshments. Mr.. and Mrs. Fuller
gave the use OF their grounds also,
and the brilliant decoration of their
residence and lawn added much TO
the general effect of the whole en-
tertainment. Mrs. Dubois, who is
charming entertainer, gave all OF
her energies and strength for the
success of the event.
II am so tired" was the constant
refrain of the young diplomats be-
fore the season closed. They were

In an Average Middle-cIass Family
 1t Is Rather Dreary.

Roy L. McCardell tells some plain truths in his article, Help, Help! IIelpr' in the October Everybodys:
 What Is the position of a servant girl in the ordinary mlddle-class family? She is in home, but 1t is not her home. Her room is in the garret. if in house. or a dark, unventilated closet that barely holds cot, if in an apartment house. She eats what is sent from the table to the kitchen when the family is through. She hears all the sordid family quarrels, and has no respect in many cases for those who regard her as 'an inferior She is discouraged in the matter of visitors, and irregularly she has one evening a week out
 Tn any other occupation in life a work ing girl has her self-respect, and, to a greater or less degree. the respect of oth- CTS Then why do you wonder that priests and missionaries, guardians. relatives and friends of working girls listen but coldly to your appeals to get you good grl? D

JONAS SOLVED THE PROBLEM.
How Shy Sultor Made a Proposal of
 Marriage.

In all the village of Fairview there was no man quite so shy ss Jonas Brown. As a child he became speeches. with con- fusion when anyone noticed him; he stumbled and stammered his way through the gawlSy age, and when he arrived at young manhood, although he was popular among his own sex, the sight of a girl s face would throw him into an agony of self-consciouSness He usually took to the other side of the road when he saw a young woman approaching. Every one wondered what would happen should Jo- mas fall in love. Al length the day came. says the Youths Companion.
 Arabella Hawkins was an attractive girl from a nelghboring town, as pretty as she was talkative, and Jonas, who first saw her at church. was captivated by her charms. A few days later he astonished all Fairview by walking home with her. and capped that performance by several tentative evening calls. But whether he strolled down flowery lanes, or sat with her on the porch in the evening, the words he wanted to say seemed to stick in his throat
 Could you-could you" he stammered on one of these occasions
 Could I what?" she quered
 Could you-could you-go driving with me tomorrow?'
 
 say; but he vaguely felt that perhaps in a buggy 1t would be easier to ask the momentous question. Yet even there words failed him.
 Twill you-will you" he began.
 "Will I what?" encouraged Arabella again, very sweetly and patiently
 Will you'-JonaS seemed to smother will you-take a walk with me tomor- row?"
 Certainly" said Arabella. And so 1t went on Jonas was getting desperate.
 Better hurry up, Jonasl" his friends urged him. There's fellow in the town where she lives who wants her just as much as you do.'
 Jonas groaned, What was to be done He could rehearse it all right before he saw her. but in her presence words failed him. All one night he lay thinking the matter over, and rose the next morning weary, yet triumphant. He believed that he had solved the problem.
 A few days later a crate arrived for him. Looks as if 1t might be a type writer" said the station agent. Still, as Jonas was not given to literary pursuits. this guess seemed rather improbable
 That night Arabella was reused from sleep by voice beneath her window. Slipping on a lSimono, she leaned out to listen. The tones of Jonas, a bit more nasal than she had ever heard them, reached her ear
 'I love you" the voice In the dark said rapidly. 1T love you more than any one in the world. I'm not worthy of you. I know: but I'll do everything I can to make you happy. Will you marry me. Arabella?"
 'Yes, will" said Arabella, and a few moments later Jonas trudged home with his phonograph under his arm.
 "Ive always heard it was grand thing, and now I'm sure of it," he muttered.

NERVOUSNESS CAUSES
 SOME ODD DELUSIONS

turning health in her case was a whole some disgust for the tortoise, which she gave to her cook"
 This physician told the reporter that such cases or nervousness were just as genuine as others that ttok the form of lacial contortions or other more familiar symptoms Usually they come from the same causes too. Playing too hard has just as serious an effect on the nervous health as working too hard.
 One of the strangest cases of nerves that l ever had under my care, he said, was that of a very sensible and hard headed woman who came to me the min ute she realized that something was wrong. She laughed herself, worried as she was, when she told me the delusions she had begun to feel. She had found her. self at receptions or at dances at night suddenly fearing that she might get hun gry before she got home or that ahe might not find any food when she got there. This thought obsessed her to such degree that she found herself put ting cakes or biscuits into her huff. One night she carried all the way home from ball a pate sandwich that she had talk en out of the dining room and clung to for the rest of the evening. As not a day passed that did not take her to a lunch con, wedding, or a reception. and fre- , quently a dinner and two dances in the same evening, she had plenty of oppor- tunities to Indulge this strange taste. It was after the pate sandwich episode that she came to see me.
 You know there must be something wrong with me somewhere, she said, when l carry home a sandwich from a party.
 'I knew how rich she was and what an establishment she and her husband kept up and recognized that something was wrong. It proved not to be very serious voyage to Italy and a sojourn of sev- eral months at a spa abroad brought her around. I met her the other day and she laughing referred to her delusion. It seems funny enough now she said, but wait until you have an irresistible inclina- ton to carry home a chicken croquette from dinner party Then 1t won't be so amusing"
