fair sex and make their society much

Social intrigue was exhausted in the
efforts to secure invitations to this
acknowledgement reception.
Ambitious mothers with eligible
daughters were especially eager to
have their fair ones adorn the galaxy
of beautiful women and gallant men.
The beauty and brilliancy of the dip
lomats' gold and jewelled grand crosses
is best seen at this reception. Here
are given Illustrations of some of the
decorations which delighted the eyes
of President Roosevelt's guests.
The Order of St. StanislaEs.
The newly appointed Russian Am
bassador, Baron Rosen, was decorated
with the famous Polish Order of st.
Stanislaus, founded in 1865 in honor of
Poland's patron saint by Stanislaus
Augustus Peniatowski. In 1915 EN-
peror Alexander confirmed the order,
and Tsar Nicholas, In 1881, united it
with the Russian orders. Russian
priests are excluded from the order.
1t is one of the few to which pension
is attached, which does not detract
from its popularity.

Story of the Indian Maiden Who Pilot
ed Lewis and CIark-Result of
Moman's Work.

Mrs. Eva Emery Dye, of Oregon
City, Ore, wrote a book on q very old
subject, but she treated it ii. another
way. This book, 'The Conquest" was
the history of the Lewis and Clark ex
petition, with which every school
child is familiar, but she brought out
most refreshing incident showing
the invaluable services rendered the
expedition by one woman.
A number of women of Portland
Gre, banded together under the name
of the Woman's Club, felt in duty
bound to honor the memory of that
one woman, Sacajawea. Mrs. Dye was
elected president of Sacajawea
Statue Association. With womans wit
they found various methods to acquire
the necessary $1,000 to erect the
statue. Even with all the money pro.
cured the association found itself in
a quandary until Mrs. Henry Waldo
Coe, through the generosity of her
husband, came to the rescue with the
copper for the casting. And this lat
ter gift was by no means inconsider
able, for 1t means nearly ten tons of
pure copper, not to speak of the ex-
penses for smelling and shipping the
ore across the continent.
And after all it was but fitting that
this statue should be erected, for had it
not been for Sacajawea the Lewis and
Clark expedition would never have
lived to bring under the American flag

class in lip-reading by deaf mutes in
his committee room in the Capitol the
other day. His pupils were half a
dozen youngsters of both sexes from
the Philadelphia Home for Training
Deaf Children in Speech, an institu-
ton supported by Miss Nary Garrett,
who has devoted her life to the work.
Miss Garrett wishes to broaden the
scope of the institution by turning 1t
into a sort of national normal school
for the instruction of teachers In the
art of lip-reading. With this object in
view, she is seeking an appropriation
of 100000 from Congress, and her
visit to washington with half dozen
OF her pupils was to interest Senator
Knox In the project.
She told the Senator what she had

Paris Statue of FrankIin.

The two hundredth anniversary OF
the birth of Benjamin Franklin on the
18th of January has brought to light
the regard with which that philosopher
and statesman is esteemed, not only by
Americans, but by foreigners as well.
The memory of Franklin, as first min
lister of the United States to France, is
much revered in the capital of that
country, and it is quite fitting that the
first statue to him in a foreign cline
