house when he first took up humble
position there. And we all know"
said this old fellow, that as weather
prophet he can give cards and spades
to the bureau officers and beat them"
There is no one of the officials, high
or low, who will venture conjecture
concerning this crows age. Their
guesses range anywhere from 27 years
to time when the memory of man run
meth not to the contrary, but there is
a consensus that no matter how old
he is he is Il wise bird
That he possesses some influence is
evident from the fact that his forecast
of the weather for Easter prevented
the ladies OF some of the members
of the minor offices about the White
Nouse from venturing out and risk
ing a detriment TO their headgear.
"How long this old fellow will re-
main with us no one can tell" said
one of the clerks. He knows he has

take a pot shot at him and no wanton
| little boy can hurl rock at him, so
he is wise enough to stand pat"

Mr. Hunnewell took his bride off for
a honeymoon trip to China and Japan,

Among the few guests were Mrs.
Nelson, the mother of the bride, and
her other daughter, young Mrs. Van

Frederick Gebhard. Among the friends
were Mrs. Sallie Duncan Elliott and
Mrs. Victor Sorchan, who had been

Her name is on the list of patrons OF
art and music She is pledged, when
her husband leaves office. to aid in the
establishment of National Academy
of Art and of National Conservatory,
both to be supported by government
funds. She keeps up her membership
with the Spanish-American War Keller
society, and performs her part of the
labors. Likewise the Army and Navy
Relief society and the Cooperative So
ciety know her as a faithful contrib
uting member, just as she was when
her husband was in less exalted sta
ton. A few minor fads Mrs. Roose-
welt also confesses. She wishes to go
down in White House annals as the
most intelligent and conscientious col
lector of historic china who has ever
graced the stately mansion. She is
making this claim good by delving and
digging everywhere for pieces of the
china used by presidential families
since George slipped his tea out OF
gold-rimmed cups of Martha's best set.
Every administration is now repre-
sented in the cabinet which adorns
the portrait gallery in the lower floor
of the White House.

ter-chatter of many guests. Some OF
the smartest men in society and the
pick of clubdom served as grooms-
men, and the prettiest girls in town
were the bridesmaids.
And they remembered young Mr..
Kemp's bachelor dinner, too. 1t was
the smartest thing ever seen, so those
who were present declared. The room
was set to represent barnyard and
there were all sorts of high jinks, be-
sides a special vintage of champagne,
in which numerous toasts to the bride
to-be were tossed off.
But all that iollity is with the dead
now-both sides would forget ia a
new love. Mrs. Kemp has another
husband, and even Mrs. Hunnewell No.
has married again-the Maude Jaf-
fray that was Mrs. Hunnewell is now
the wife of j. S. Tooker. So of the
three marriages and the six persons
involved, only Miss Kaye has not been
married twice.

KEPT PROMISE TO
MOTHER TO MARRY
ONLY AN AMERICAN
ROMANCE OF SYBIL KANE AND A. I. KEMP

travelled extensively. And from the
first the foreigners were smitten and
more than one heart was laid at her
feet.
The Wooina of the Count.
The most ardent of them followed
Miss Kaye and her chum, Miss Mil
dred Harrison, of Philadelphia, across
this continent and all the way to Eu-
rope. but in vain. He was Count Carl
Hohnstein, whose mother was lady-in-
waiting to the wife Of the prince re-
gent of Bavaria.
Miss Kaye met him in the west,
where she was travelling with Miss
Harrison, just before leaving for Paris.
Count Holstein appeared at every city
and always at the same hotel where
Miss Kaye was stopping. The counts
mother was with him; the transconti-
mental chase of the nobleman after
the American girls was chronicled in
the newspapers at the time.
But when it was over Miss Kaye
was heart whole and fancy-free. She
| finally eluded the count and his moth
er at Colorado Springs. She hired a
| special car and before the count or
his mother was aware of it the Amer
ican girls and their chaperon were
in New York.
The next steamer took them to Eu-
rope, where Miss Kaye has been ever
since. There she travelled every
where-to the British isles, all over
the continent, even to Egypt, up the
Nile and into the Holy Land.
With her beauty and her wealth she
found it easy to be presented at the
courts of Europe. Her social sue
cess everywhere was most pro
nounced Even 1t was whispered that
the heir to one of the minor thrones
had offered to give up his prospective
kingship for the American girls
hand.
But Miss Kaye remembered he
promise to her mother.
None But an American.
81 can marry only an American,
she told them all, whether she like,
them or not.
Then Arthur Kemp appeared on tn
scene.
: He had gone to Paris three year
ago to seek relaxation from all hi
domestic troubles. He told his friend
, he would never tempt matrimon
t again; that he intended to remain
, bachelor for the rest of his day
3 All of his resolutions were changed

Killing a Bear.

A boy named Hiram Frayson, living
in the state of Washington, had
most curious adventure a few weeks
ago. He was out hunting with shot
gun on his shoulder. Unknown to him
a bear struck his trail and followed
The beast was within 20 feet of him,
and getting ready to move up and at
tack, when the hammer of the gun
caught on the limb of tree and was
drawn back and the weapon dis,
charged.
The boy heard roar and growl
behind him and looked around to find
big black bear kicking his last. The
charge of shot had nearly blown his
head off. He wasn't out bear-hunting
that day, but he got one so big that II
took four men to load him on wagon
to be drawn home.

citizens. 1t was noted that the secre-
tary did not go to church there, and
one or more ministers of that city
have since then made inquiries of men
of the cloth in Washington as to the
secretarys church connection and
habits in this city Some of Judge
Taft's friends here say he is a Uni

copalian, but nobody seems clear as to
how often he goes to church when in

New York.-Live abroad If you want

That was the promise the mother OF
Miss Sibyl Kaye made her give, and
Miss Kaye gave it. She has married
an American, Arthur I. Kemp,
Young New York millionaire and soci-
.ety favorite. But in the track of young
Mrs. Kemp's honeymoon tour in Eu-
rope is long line of broken hearts
the hearts of earls, dukes, lords and
'barons.
And that was just what Mrs. Angus

promise.

names together. While young Mr..
Kemp had never known Miss Kaye in
his country, he found she came of
fine New Orleans family.
She was born there and when but
a young girl went to Nazareth con-
vent in Kentucky, under the tutelage
of both French and Spanish sisters.
She was already linguist of distinc-

the tender age of ten she carried off

And Mrs. Post answered.: "A moth

Mr.. Kemp and his young wife will

At present they are touring southern
France in an automobile. Mr. Kemp's
friends are legion here and so the fash
ionables are eager to see his new
bride. She has always cared little for
society, preferring music, literary and
charitable work to dinners, dances and
the opera.
The Kemp divorce three years ago

Arthur Kemp's First Love.

He was elected to the Knickerbock
er and the Union clubs, the two smart
est in town, as well .as to other clubs
of almost as much Importance. In due
season he met Miss Nelson and in
1897 he married her. The ceremony
took place at st. Patrick's cathedral,
for all the Nelson's are Roman Catho-
lies, and one of the smartest congre-
cations of the season filled the pews.
The late Archbishop Corrigan Off
ciated at the service.
A few days later the young bridal
couple were called to the bedside OF
the bridegroom's dying mother. She
expired soon afterward
The two were apparently perfectly
happy until 1902, spending their win
ters in New York and their summers
in Newport. Then there was GOSSIP
that the two had become estranged
this proved to be true when Mrs
Kemp left her husbands home ant
went back to her mothers, No. 10C
Fifth avenue. There she lay Ill ;
long while with nervous prostration
AS soon as she was well Mrs. Keml
No. determined to take matters IL
her own hands. She made up he
mind to get o divorce in Rhode Is
land. AS the law of that state re
quires person to live there yea
before attaining legal residence, Mrs
Kemp took a cottage and remaiLe
in Newpsrt for the winter. Meanwhil
there was all sorts of gossip. IN du
season Mrs. Kemp got her divorce
In the interval her sister, Kathlee
Nelson, had become Mrs, Reginald
Vanderbilt.
