much interchange of civilities
among the official, civilian and
diplomatic society. Officials and
private citizens are very attentive
to the foreigners, who always ac
Cept invitations if honors are easy,
but they do not trouble themselves
by over-much hospitality in re-
turn. Some Of the embassies and
legations are very hospitable and
do as much for society as society
does for them, but others are less
liberal and more indifferent about
cancelling social obligations.
1t is to be hoped that the incom-
ing administration will establish
in the White House some of the
customs that began in the early
days of the republic, and were
kept up until within a few years.
The White House strikes the key
note for social affairs, which the
denizens Of the capital are ready
to follow. What is required is
consistency in extending to every
one the consideration due. There
is no excuse for cordially welcom-
ing boor or a person who would
not be received in private homes,
and neglecting those who are en-
titled to courtesies from the execu-
tive mansion. Let ali functions
be characterized by genuine cor
diality and dignity ifthey must be
simple in the matter of appoint
ment.
Washington is without doubt
the most delightful residential city
in the world, and there is no rea-
son why its society should not be
the best that ever existed any
where.
John c. Calhoun said; Society
and government are intimately
connected with and dependent on
each other, of the two society is
the greater.

two will prevent any substantial
cut in the naval budget. Advo-
Gates of additional regiments for
the army promise to enliven the
session. while the needs of the in
terstate commerce commission will
make an additional drain on the
federal funds.
The new movement for water
way Improvements is to be reckon
ed with, inasmuch as the slogan OF
the permanent waterways congress
is $50, DOC, 900 a year for waterways,
and in addition the demand for the
conservation of the country's ma
tional resources involves a consid-
cradle appropriation. The next
Decennial census which requires
much line and money, must be
appropriated for. Economists in
congress have a hard row to hoe.
Speaking ofeconomy, Chairman
Serene Payne, Of the house com
mittee on ways and means, no long
er feels injured because, like the
ordinary member of congress, he
has been relegated to the new
s. 900, 900 Office building.
Elliott Woods, superintendent
of the capitol building, has provid-
ed the balm in the shape Of the
most elaborate committee rooms
that have ever been planned in the
history of the United Snates. And
the end is not yet. Air eady more
than $50 900 has been spent in fit
ting up the quarters for the com
mittee of which Payne is chair
man.
Beautiful red velvet carpets
cover the white marble floors, ma
hogany furniture fills each of the

upholstered chairs are provided for

Although the hearing room at
present looks almost impressive as
the chamber Of the United States
Supreme court, decoration is not
yet complete.
The committee sits behind a
semi-CirCular desk or work table,
with places for nineteen members.
The base of this semi-Circular
desk is Of Vermont marble, eigh-
teen inches high. Above the base
are mahogany panels, in which is
a hand carved shield of the United

The chairs are proportionately
expensive. The frame work is OF
mahogany, with brass trimmings
and upholstered in Spanish leather.
Temporary chandeliers serve for
