THE FRENCHMAN'S DINNER,
Happy and Care Free In the Even
ing Is the True Parfsinn


The Frenchman, with all his polite
ness and little nicetles. is not a good
dresser. He is nowhere near the class
of the London man, nor can he equal
the Baltimore man who gives thought
to his wardrobe. This. of course, ap-
plies to generalities. There are ex-
ceptions where the Frenchman is a
model of the tailor's and haberdasher's
skill.
AS a rule, however, there are other
things that mean much more to him
than mere clothes. For instance, he
likes to dine. Every Frenchman, in
the proper sense of the word, dimes
in the evening. He prefers highly sea-
soned food If he can get it and service
of corresponding degree of excel
lence. But dine he must and dine he
will-if not good dinner, then a poor
one. He must have his soup, his fish,
roast, an entree, some salad, dessert
and bit Of cheese. With this he has
wine, the vintage regulated by the
size Of his bank roll. His coffee, in
the summer time, he will take outside
with cigarette or cigar. and his en-
joyment is not complete unless he
hears the strains of an orchestra.
He is not, perhaps, so passionately
fond OF music as the German, but still
he likes it and will have it If he can
afford it. He is gay andihappy in the
evenings. is the Frenchman, and his
cares, whatever they are, he dismisses
temporarily. He rises late, and he
dimes late. Nine o'clock, is about the
proper hour for the coffee, after he has
paid his respects to the various
courses. Then he is ready for the gay
life. When London is going TO bed
Paris is just beginning to warm up

WOMEN MEET IN
GREAT CONVENTION
General Federation of Clubs
Begins in Boston To-
morrow.
MANY REPRESENTATIVES.
WOMEN FROM ALL PARTS OF THE
COUNTRY ARE NOW cRoWDlNo
INTO THE AESTHETIC EASTERN
CITY.

Boston, Mass, June 22.-The ninth
biennial convention OF the General
Federation of Women's clubs which
opens in Boston this week, promises to
eclipse any meeting of women ever
held
From every section of America spe-
clal trains and special cars are pulling
into Boston with their burden of the
representative women of America. Ev-
cry state in the union will be repre-
sented when the tide has filled Boston
10 overlooking. as the outlook suggests.
Even from the Canal Zone two women
are expected to represent their isolat-
ed yet thriving club. Over 100000
club women are represented in the
present biennial
Friendly Rivals.
OF particular interest to the club wo-
men of the Middle West is the declara-
ton made by both parties to a suppos-
ed contest for the presidency of the
federation, one, st. Louis woman,
Mrs. Philip n. Moore, and the other as
pirant, Mrs. Van Alden Ward, that
there will be no political fight for the
office.
Persistent rumors that the Missouri
women intended to wage a warm war
fare are denied, and the two supposed
rivals declare they are the best of
friends
The contention will formally open
evening, June %. in Sympho-
ny Hall, and will continue until the
following Tuesday evening, June 80.
For two years the local biennial COM |
mittee has been busy planning and |
working out the details necessary for
such a large organization. !
This involved the appointment of
like $500 women to serve (
IN the various committees of enter
ainment.
Thousands Expected.
There will be 5000 delegates and al
ernates to the convention. But so .
great is the interest in the Boston con-
7ention that hundreds of club women
who are not delegates will come with |
he official parties from the different
states.
The convention will convene in
hall. and there will be over
low meetings in Chickering Hall, and
lso duplicate meetings. The Off
ial headquarters will be at the Hotel
Iendome. There will also be various
places assigned as official headquar-
ers OF the different state declarations.

DENIES THE LOEB STORY.
SAYS THAT THE POSITION WAS
NOT RENDERED TO PRESIDENT
RoosEvELT's SECRETARY AS
WAS ANNOUNCED.

Washington, June 29.vAs all God
fearing men perhaps should do, Secre-
tary Taft, republican presidential
nominee, spurned the heat of Wash
ington summer Sunday and went to
church. He worshiped at a Unitarian
shrine, while Mrs. Taft. accompanied
by her son Charlie. went to st. Johns
of the Episcopal denomination, across
Lafayette square from the white
house, where several presidents at
tended while presiding over the des-
TIMES of the nation.
The secretary took occasion Sunday
to correct a story sent out from Oys-
ter Bay last night, pertaining to the
Craftsmanship of the republican natio-
nal committee. This story was to the
effect that the place had been tender
ed to William Loeb, Jr, secretary of
President Roosevelt, and declined by
him: also that Mr.. Taft had offered
Loeb anything he might want under
the new administration. in the event
he We're elected president next fall.
Had Not Been Opposed.
The secretary said that the chair
manship had not been offered to Loeb,
AMI therefore had not been declined,
and that, instead of giving the presi-
dents secretary carte blanche in the
selection of an office. he had express
ed desire to give him something
good in that line. To this generous
proposal Loeb responded that he had
decided to go into business upon the
close of the Roosevelt administratio ton.
The cranks have begun to write to
Mr.. Taft. and his mail contains many
letters from this genius Of citizenship

ton the question of the selection of
national chairman except in the most
generous terms. No decision will be
announced until after he has conferr-
ed further with the subcommittee of
the republican national committee on

1t is very probable, indeed almost a
certainty, that the subcommittees

was fixed for July s, in Washington,
will be held at Hot Springs. Va,
where the secretary expects to spend
the greater part of the summer.
Mrs. Taft Busy.
Mrs. Taft has already made arrange
ments for the breaking up of house
keeping in Washington, and, while the
work incident to the cnange is con-
siderable. she has little doubt that she
will be able to complete it in time to
leave Washington next Friday for Hot
Springs.
The resort selected by Secretary and
Mrs. Taft for their summer outing is
in the very heart of the mountains, on
spur of the Chesapeake and Ohio
railway. Accommodations have been
| reserved at the Homestead Hotel.
There the Secretary, Mrs. Taft and
their son, Master Charles, will be quar-
! tered and surrounded with all possible
comforts and conveniences. Their
daughter, Miss Helen, will join them
after a visit to some friends in the
South. Their son Robert will spend
most of the summer in the North.
| At the Homestead, the Presidential
| suite, once occupied by President and
Mrs. Mckinley, is being placed in read
mess for the republican standard
bearer and his family. 1t includes
several spacious rooms, beautifully
decorated and handsomely furnished.
Convenient to the apartments are a
telegraph office and long distance tel
ephone connection. While in Hot
Springs Secretary Taft expects that
his recreation will consist chiefly in
| reading, riding and playing golf. One
of his favorite horses will be sent to
Hot Springs and General Clarence E
Edwards. who is devoting himself par
ticularly to Mr.. Taft's physical well
being, is making arrangements for an

interested in the appointment.
Thousands of letters and kilograms
of congratulation have been received
by Mr.. Taft on his nomination. His
clerical force headed by his private

Mr.. Carpenter will remain for a brief
