THE season of social gayeties which
1 was ushered in by the opening of
congress again calls attention to an
en1inently useful parsonage in the
realm of fashion-the social secretary.
Although the social secretary is a
creature of modern development, and
a most interesting one at that, her
place in the fashionable universe of
the national capital has become firmly
fixed and there are more positions at
good salaries than there are social Sec
retaries to fill them The demand is
so great and the pay is often so al
Turing that a number of Washington
girls whose social status is near the
upper edge of the top crust, but who
are not as we'll favored financially as
some of their sisters in society, are
preparing to take up this as their life
work
Some one has said that good social
secretaries are born, not made" and
there is much truth in the observation.
She must be a natural born diplomat
or she will not be success, but she
must be more than that 1t is neces-
sary that she shall know intimately

WASH1NGTON.-T Fulton family
w is we'll represented in the Sixtieth
congress. There is a Fulton among
the Republicans in the senate and a
Fulton among the Democrats of the
house. The senator is Charles Viii.
liam Fulton, of the state of Oregon,
the member of the house, Elmer l..
Fulton, who comes to Washington as
member of the first congressional
delegation from the state of Oklahoma.
The oldest oficeholder at the capital
fails to recall another case just like
that of the Fultons Brothers have
served in congress before. In the last
congress Charles B. Lands and his
brother, Frederick Lands, represented
districts in Indiana. But both are Re-
publicans.
Some years ago there were two
brothers In congress at the same time
one in the senate and the other in the
house. They, too, belonged to the same
political party. But the Fultons are
the only brothers who have come to
congress together but divided against
themselves politically.

able to segregate the social mounte-
banks from the real factors of society
but she must have an exhaustive &C.
quaintance with the maze of prece-
dents and formulas and distinctions
for which Washington society is noted.
A good social secretary has all of this
information at her tongues end and is
able to steer her patrons social bark
past all the reefs and rocks that rem.
der navigation so uncertain and dan
gerous for the tyro.
Fashionable Washington is com.

BALLOONS may soon be as common
- in the sky as clouds, even if the
rest of the country does not follow the
example of this city, which appears
suddenly to have become balloon
crazy. In the recent international bal
loon races at st. Louis, together with
the numerous ascensions hereabouts,
local amateurs who have begun to
find automobiling unexciting even at
90 miles an hour, have discovered the
lead for a new sport, and, leaving ter
ra firma, expect to have their nerves
stimulated hereafter in the air.
The strength of this sudden craze
for ballooning as pastime is sutfi-
ciently indicated by the fact that at
the auto show now being held here
ten balloons have been actually sold,
with many others ordered Balloon
men have been kept busy arranging
for demonstrations of their gas bags,
necessarily little more difficult of

ltinerant. and Auto Tinker.

A new vocation has sprung UP on
some of the large country roads lead
ing out of town. It is that of the
itinerant repairer of automobiles.
It's first exponent was seen on the
Old York road, near Jenkintown,,
where, his whole equipment in a bag,
he walked along the highway bearing
a sign "Autos Repaired" -!
The man is a clever machinist who
has made special study of automo-
biles and whose services are at the
command of any motorist who needs
them-as many automobile owners
who drive their own machines are like
ly to do: . .,..~... j.
In the case of a breakdown he is
apt soon to be along, for things have
prospered with him and he now trav-
els and carries his tools in a striped
runabout, which shows evidences that
it is out for business.
In effect he is travelling automobile

There is some compensation in not
being king if a man can be captain
Of industry or retired diamond mine
owner. There is too much ceremony
about the job of king to suit the av-
erage mortal. Does royalty never get
a chance to relax? The king not only
must be every inch a king, but he
must be king every minute. Some
body whom he has never met, but who
must have had a grim sense Of humor,
has prescribed etiquette for him which
he must follow every waking minute.
We fancy there is some formula which
he must snore by Also Even when he
travels incognito he has to send ahead
a description of his clothes and the
way he spells his name to the chiefs
of police Of the cities in which he ex-
poets to stop. No wonder the king of
Spain took off his coat and threw it
away when out hunting. The only
wonder is that he did not throw a
brick at the person who reproved him
for it.

A STORY of rare heroism in connec-
"A tion with the burning of the steam.
ship General Slocum is revealed by the
inscription on an urn into which we're
put the other day, the ashes of Henry
N. Mallabar, who forfeited his life in
saving others. The inscription runs:
"Greater love hath no man than
this. that a man lay down his life for
his friends"
On June Is, 1904, Mr.. Mallabar was
chief clerk in Riverside hospital, on
North Brother island, when the i'll
fated excursion steamship General Slo-
cum, mass of flame, bore down on that
island. ,'
Mr. Mallabar was one of the first to
see the burning steamship and one
of the first at the work of rescue. A

When You Put Latchkey in Your Door,

When You Put Latchkey in Your Door.
When you put the latchkey in the
door of your home, drop your business
or profession; drop all the things
which have vexed and worried and
nagged you during the day; drop
everything disagreeable. Just say to
yourself, II will not allow these
shadows in my home. This is shrine
too sacred for discord." Resolve that
peace. harmony, contentment shall
reign there. If you insist on worrying
during the daytime, do not drag your
worries home at night. Do not bring
the black fiends which have destroyed
your peace in the office into your
home. Leave your cares and your
troubles behind when you enter its
doors. The habit which many married
people have of talking their troubles
over at night, and especially at the
dinner table, is most vicious one,
declares Orison SWEET Marden in Sue
cess Magazine. The dinner bell should
be signal for the happiest time Of
the day. Every member of the family
should go to the table with smiles
each one should bring his best, bright
est and most cheerful things to it. No
one should be allowed to complain or
relate his unfortunate experiences
there. The assembling round the din
ner table should be an occasion for
fun and laughter-the enemies of in
digestion.

With the city's debt limit almost
reached and with real estate taxes
mounting to figures which are causing
property owners to unite in protest,
these charges are attracting attention
from the usually Indifferent New
Yorker. Other statisticians have come
to the front with the assertion that
extravaganza is not confined to the
municipality, but is a habit of the
citizens as well. They produce figures
to show that New Workers. are the
most wasteful people on earth and
that among the items that they viz.
tually throw away are 45,0OO, 1000 gal.

Francis c. Blair, state superinten-
dent Of public instruction of Illinois,
has an original idea He thinks that
courtship should be taught in the pub
lie schools, in the interest of a knowl-
edge of the practical affairs of life.
He thinks great progress could be
made by having children take the
parts Of Priscilla, Miles Standish and
John Alden, or by investigating the
loverlike qualities of Enoch Arden. It
may be doubted, however, whether
there is any practical need Of this.
Most people manage to get through
the difficulties Of courtship without
much instruction. The Illinois schools
would probably get more benefit if
the boys were given instruction in the
great problem of how to be a grand.
father gracefully.

From there the family went to Paw.
nee City, Neb., where the brothers
studied law and were admitted to the
bar. Charles later went to Oregon
and was elected to lot of Offices as
Republican.
Elmer went first to Saltwater, Okla,
then to Pawnee, and finally settled
down at the practice of law in Okla

until February when he would be re-
tired by age.
Too fat, as fat as Taft, is the charge
that the Davis board has brought
against Col. w. L. Marshall, of New
York, in charge of the Ambrose chan
mel work. The preliminary examin-
ing board could find nothing the mat.
ter with Col. Marshall, but Gen. Fred
Grant excused the big fellow from the
ride out of sympathy for the horse.
The last board to examine him could
find no disability except his corpu-
lency. His retirement has been held
in abeyance until Taft's return. The
secretary and the president will decide
how fat a man can be and yet be serv-
iceable in constructing a big channel.
Meanwhile COL Marshall is said to be
reducing his weight by the delicate
process of rolling on the floor. Off,

corps and a retirement of half a dozen

accomplishment than in the case OF
an auto, since New York does not
countenance promiscuous balloon as
tensions.
Contrary to general opinion, it is
not necessary to be millionaire tc
indulge in aeronautics in ones own
balloon, as very god one, it is said,
can be purchased for about $50. A
single ascension costs about $50, or
$25 apiece if divided between two
owners, so that the new sport does not
become so financially terrifying after
all. Then, too, there will be no speed
laws, policemen or fines in the air, an
argument which will appeal to many
auto drivers hereabouts. One of the
most enthusiastic balloonists or bal
loonatics," as they have already been
dubbed, is Rear Admiral Chester, who,
having retired from the seas, has now
announced his intention of navigating
the air in his own balloon just as soon
as he has served his apprenticeship.

BLUE SUNDAY WILL. LONG
BE REMEMBERED IN CITY

AZ NEW YORK-New York's Blue Sun
~ day" will be remembered for a
long time. For the first time in the
history of the city 350,000 people, who
usually attend some form of amuse
ment on that day, were forced to
amuse themselves by walking in the
streets or in the parks. There was
not theater, not concert hail. dance
hall or lecture-room open in the city
and 400 penny and nickel arcades that
usually do an enormous business on
Sunday were closed. Even the
donkeys that carry children on their
backs for small fee in central park,
rested, the police refusing to allow
them to carry on their regular busi-
ness.
1t is estimated that actors, musicians
and employees of the various entertain
ments that are usually open on Sun
day, lost $4,000 by the forced closing
of everything and the estimated loss
to the amusement interests of the city
is placed at $150,0O0.

On the Sunday in question, and dur
