T WENTY consecutive years of Of
L fetal life in Washington. This is
l the interesting social career of Mrs.
Dalzell. wife of Representative John Dal-
zeu of Pennsylvania, leader of the ma
jority of the House.
Mrs. Serene Payne. wife of Representa-
tive Payne of New York, has one more
term of official life both to her and her
husbands credit. but their period of life
at the National capital, unlike Mrs. Dali
zelfs is not continuous. Mr.. Payne hav-
ing failed TO be reelected to the Fiftieth
Congress. This leaves Mrs. Dalzell the
only woman in official society with such
an unbroken record.
Uncle Joe Cannon, of course comes
first in point of service, having seventeen
terms to his credit with Representative
H. H. Bingham of Philadelphia, COM
monty known as father of the House. -
next. with fifteen. But. as both the wives
of Mr.. Cannon and Mr.. Bingham died
some years ago, Mrs. DalZell is the only
woman who can point to SO long a reign
as an official hostess of the Capital city.
Mrs. DalZell has not missed a single
New Year reception at the White House
in nineteen years She has received with
the wives of the Presidents and the wives
of the cabinet officers at every New Year
White House reception during this period
of interesting years. She has also at
tended all the notable social functions at
the capital within the last two decades
and her wide acquaintance in Washing
ton has made her one of the most popular
women in the inner official circles at the
capital
In spite of her multitudinous social
duties, Mrs. Dalzell is first of all an ideal
home woman. who loves her home and
family.
She has one beautiful daughter who is
married to Col. George Dunn. stationed
now in the Philippines The Dunns have

fined strictly. under the organic law of
the order, to the thirteen original state So
cieties, into which 1.-The general society is
divided for the sake of frequent commu-
nications.'' These state societies are the
societies in the thirteen original states of
the American Union. viz: New Hampshire,
Massachusetts. Rhode Island. Connecti-
cut. New York, New Jersey, Pennsylva-
MIA, Delaware. Maryland. Virginia, North
Carolina. South Carolina and Georgia.
Hereditary membership is rigidly limited
by the institution of the order to eligible
descendants OF qualified officers of the
American army and navy of the revolu-
tionary war Men in the respective
states" of the American Union eminent
for their abilities and patriotism" are
admitted as honorary members In the
proportion of one to four of the hereditary
members.
1t has been often enormously stated
and by some believed, that the officers
of the French auxiliary army under Count
de Rpchambeau, took part in the founding
OF the society. and became hereditary
members thereof but such was not the
fact. as the French officers named in the
institution had no part in the organiza-
ton of the Society of the Cincinnati. but
were made by the founders honorary
members merely. without hereditable sue
ce ession after the society was formed in
1888. and no legal French state society
of the Cincinnati ever existed.
The Virginia Society of the Cincinnati
was one of the largest of the original
state Societies of the Cincinnati but. like
many OF the other thirteen original
state societies. was permitted TO become
dormant for various reasons. The Nir-
ginia society was revived July 26. 1880
by descendants of original members and
an organiza ton perfected at a meeting in
Richmond. Va. at the Westmoreland
Club. All the original state Societies of
the Cincinnati are now fully revived and
IN regular working order.
For a long time after its revival the
Virginia society remained the smallest of
the state societies. but during the past
two years its standing committee. by hard,
I patient work. has largely increased the
membership. and the roster for 19O7-19OS
shows that the Virginia Society of the
Cincinnati is next TO the largest of all
| the state societies of the order.

the New York newspapers for the two
months covering the racing season. 1t
was like searching for the needle in the
proverbial haystack, but il bore fruit. for
in the New York Herald of May ~ the
searchers discovered this advertisement:

nal copy was found in the records of the
office. and it was in the handwriting Of
Marcus Graham.
The government was now in possession
of sufficient evidence to convict Graham,
both of passing and having in his pos
session counterfeit money. but the author
tiles did not know where the plates were
and how the money had been printed.
The big problem was to locate the plant.

stop the circulation of these spurious
notes. Graham might have confederates

He Immediately took train for ST
Louis and after number of interviews
with his associates in that city began to
consider how to reach the weakest LINK in
the strong chain of probability with which
Mr.. Graham was surrounded. One of the
earliest movements made in the investi-
CATION was to discover the exact hour at
which the electric lights were turned on
in the Union station. The engineer of the
electric plant was consulted, and his rec
ords showed that on this particular date
the switch which put the lights into
operation had been turned on at $40.
Wilkie next sent to the newspaper Office
which had printed the found "ad.' and
requested a report upon the exact time
at which the advertisement was accepted.
The clerk who received the notice was
finally located, and he Remembered dis
tinctly that he had stopped work on that
afternoon at o'clock; the ad. which he
had received was the fifth or sixth above
the last one. and. according to his own
calculation. it must have been handed In
at 43O o'clock. This pointed to a dis
crepancy in Crahan's statement of one
hour and ten minutes.

ferenceS of opinion regarding entertain
ments and social distinctions TO be made.
But on the whole | do not think Wash
ington society has changed SO very much
with the years.
When Mrs. Dalzell was asked whether
she regarded the influx of many of the
called new rich families to Wash
ington as adding to the brilliancy of the
national social life. she said:
NO I do not think that the social af-
fairs of recent years as general thing
excel in brilliancy many of the enter
tainmentS / attended in Washington some
years ago. / might mention the gorgeous
receptions given by some of the cabinet
officers wives in the past. There was
nothing ever given before or since in
Washington that equaled their magniii-
cence.
Referring particularly To these events.
Mrs. DalZell said she especially recalled
the receptions given by Mrs. John Wanna
maker when Mr.. Wanamaker was Post
master General under the Harrison ad-
ministration. Also the receptions rendered
by the w. c.. Whitney when Mr.. Whit
ney was Secretary of the Navy dur
ing Cleveland'S reign in the White House
"'There was never anything that COM
pared to these great events in Washing

early Romans Greeks might have
given. The refreshments We're of the
most lavish in quantity and kind. and

Mrs DalZelis home is filled with many
interesting and beautiful "reminiscences OF
her long social lie at the capital. Among
the most highly priced of these are sew
eral autograph letters from Presidents
and a number from the great leaders and
statesmen who have passed away. These
are especially valued by Mrs. Dalzell. in
view Of the passing of the autograph let
ter In these days of secretaries and
typewriters the autograph letter has be-
come relic of bygone times. To receive
a letter signed by the President or even
one of the cabint officers is rare indeed.
Their signatures are seldom seen on let
ters pertaining to matters of state or busi-
ness and less seldom on what are sup
posed to be personal communications. So
these notes and letters and Informal COM
munications written the White House

the chief executives and men notable in
the history of the country are priced by
the DaiZellS above many autograph pho-

One of the significant discoveries among
Crahans effects was number of pro-
grams of races at Gravesend and two or
three of the eastern tracks, not to speak
of one particular program which con-
tanned the entries of the races where the
first bookmaker had received the $100 bill
which he deposited with his roll in the
Broadway trust company. Graham calmly
admitted that he had attended all of these
races; that he was a lover of horsefesh,
and that he occasionally made small
wagers on the results; but he denied posi-
lively having passed any of the other 500
bills, and said that he had never had
them in his possession until he found the
white envelope at the Union station in
ST. Louis.
Wilkie did some very severe thinking
at this stage of the game. and out of it
all came the theory that if Graham was
guilty he might have used similar subter-
fuges in passing counterfeit money at the
eastern tracks. The chief thereupon tele-
graphed to New York and ordered that a

of society must be perfectly fabricated.
where the least mistake may cause all
sorts of friction and be echoed later in a
campaign period or an international con-
troversy. Washington social life calls for
more than the average intelligence and
good Judgment to be exercised at all
times.
No other woman in Washington has won
more enviable reputation as a tactful
and more gracious hostess than Mrs.
DalEell.
Unlike many others. of a pronounced
social position. selfishly Indifferent to
others who have none. Mrs. DalZell has
often kindly slipped a helping hand to
many whom she has considered worthy
of social recognition.
Many younger congressmen's wives have
found an excellent friend and social guide
under the protecting friendship and kind
ness of Mrs. Dalzell In this respect Mrs.
Dalzell has won the devoted admiration
and gratitude of scores of the uninitiated
congressmen's wives who timidly took
their first peep into official society. Many
women who have won an entire into the
inner circles of Washington social life and
triumphs as brilliant entertainers look
back gratefully to the timely assistance
Mrs. DalZell gave, all unconsciously at
times to the guest, to speed her on her
social way.
With rare tact and kindness of heart
many women a bit of sugar coated advice
with lump of sugar in her afternoon tea,
One of Mrs Dalzells virtues is her natu-
raj modesty. She has always chosen to
stand by as a helpmate rather than in the
limelight of her husbands successful
career.
While Mrs Dalzell has seen the curtain
rung down on four administrations at the
White House and helped to welcome the
new and while she has witnessed all the
changes characteristic of capital social
life. she is not one to deplore the passing
of the good old times and undervalue
the new.
Il cannot say that ! find life today
lie IS enjoyable than | did twenty years ago
in Washington said Mrs. Dalzell. as she
talked of her long social career in the
pretty pink and white drawing room of
her handsome home. Il know" she said,
"one hears a great deal of those charm
ing democratic days and the beautiful
old-fashioned hospitality dispensed then.
But, truly, i can see no real difference.
