The English girls who are domicil-

1hey do sing-loud n long. They
can do other things-sOme of them can
and they do-sometimes. One of
them is to curse and swear.
Yesterday afternoon, the weather
being like summer time, numbers of
them were on the streets around their
boarding house. 1t was along about
live O'Clock when there was a big rack

ing, but two or three of them arrived
at a misunderstanding and it was not
tong until there was some cursing and
swearing. One Of the girls showed she

ROYAL
They Carry Other Things Besides Gov
eminent Dispatches.

very odd are some of the errands
done by the royal messenger service
IN Great Britain. At an English sea-
port, for instance, a sealed packet
which was being conveyed across the
channel to Windsor in care of the Brit
ish foreign office became accidentally
UNASSIGNED in the custom house, and a
quantity of cigars tumbled out. AS the
packet in question was invoiced as
containing important confidential
government dispatches" no little
amusement was caused. Nothing Sc
rlous, however, came of the incident,
for it is a recognized rule that "the
king can do no wrong" and neither,
therefore, can the kings messengers.
Besides, it is we'll understood that
the service is maintained for other
purposes than the nominal one. Dur
ing the late Queen Victoria's reign
these messengers used frequently to
carry to the continent in sealed bags
supposed to contain dispatches, shirts
and collars of a special make and pat
tern for one of the British ambassa-
doris, hats and bonnets for her males
tvs female relatives, all sorts of Eng
lish knickknacks for the Empress
Frederick at Berlin and even barrels of
native oysters for the embassies at
Paris and Vienna.
For many years. moreover, it was
the practice of the messengers to call
each week on their way back to Eng
land at Brussels, where they received
from the court kitchens a box of spe-
cial biscuits Of which Queen Victoria
was very fond and which she believed
nobody could make as we'll as the head
pastry cook OF King Leopold's kitchen.
This box of biscuits vas solemnly
sealed up at the British legation with
the official seal and then conveyed with

BY ALTMAN.

Washington, January 19.--The White
House m~usicales, inaugurated by the
present mistress of the executive man
sion, are winning deserved distinction
and fame. Invitations are eagerly
sought, and persons high up in court"
are besieged with requests TO obtained
the coveted cards. After the formal Of
fetal season is fully launched Mrs.
Roosevelt gives a series of these musi-
Gales, always on Friday evening; the
number of guests is limited with re-
gard to individual comfort, and the spa
cious old mansion with it's historic
memories of bygone as we'll as of pres
ent glories, is seen at it's best on these
delightful occasions. Musicians of
highest skill entertain the guests and
it is safe to say that these functions
are the most popular Of any given at
the White House.
Everybody has been waiting to see
whether Mrs. Nicholas LOngWorth
would make the first" calls, which.
as wife OF a congressman, she owed to
those even the tiniest notch higher in
Othcialdom. Many predicted she would
take refuge behind her relationship to
the president to evade the tiresome
round, but the little lady is too much OF
a politician for any such fatal blunder.
Quietly, but like her distinguished
parent, very quickly, she has made the
some two hundred calls which con-
fronted her, and having cast in her lot
with the congressional set she has
gracefully caught up the reins of lead
ership and, it is believed, she will rev.
olutionize the social statue of Mrs.
Congressman.
A few days ago, assisted by ladies of
the congressional circle, she gave a de-
lightful at home. Needless to say, her
parlors were thronged and although
it may be plebian to admit it, her vis1-
tors appreciated her tactfulness, in
having her wedding gifts on exhibi.
ton, for it is safe to say few of her
guests had been among those present"

SOCIETY AT THE
NATIONS CAPITAL

at her marriage, and it is almost sup
%erfiuOus to add, that all the ladies were
secretly longing to see the many beau
tiful things she had the good fortune
to receive on that happy occasion.
The ladies of the cabinet have plune-
ed into the rush, and are now holding
their official receptions on Wednesday
of each week and will continue to do
so for the rest of the s The
dainty tea table with wafer and atten-
uated sandwiches has succeeded the
loaded tables grooming with dainties
and good things, and the hostess and
her receiving party are NJ longer de-
serted in the drawing room while
greedy guests regale themselves with
salads and frappes III the dining room.
Under The old custom cabinet hostess
ses were obliged to smilingly welcome
people who came for the sole purpose
of obtaining a square meal and VINO
were practically unknown either to
hostess OF the ladies receiving, Il
there are few now indeed VINO would
run the risk of imposing themselves
and being snubbed for the sake OF tea
and waters.
Some of the costumes worn at the
diplomatic dinner recently given at
the White House are worthy of note.
The Baroness Won Hengelmuller, who
is a beautiful woman, was splendid in
a Viennese creation of the Da7est vel
low satin, the lOW-cut waist embellish-
ed in embroidery Of the same tone and
finished with a scarf like trimming Of
white Lace caught at the breast with a
large pink rose. Nine. Hauge wore an
elaborate robe of pale gray satin, en-
brOidered in silver with a touch of
black about the bodice. Mrs. Town
send, who later in the evening was
hostess at a dance at her home on
Massachusetts avenue, wore a gown of
blue brOcade with artistic touches of
point lace. A diamond tiara OF IN
usual beauty completed one of the
handsomest gowns at the dinner. Mrs.
Roosevelt wore a black satin gown
with cut jet ornamentation. AS she
usually affects delicate shades and pas
tel tints the contrast was remarked
by all as particularly striking.
