funny when these Southrons get to

tainted about that ballot, unless it is
cast for a Re-but that is another story.
Back TO the simple life. That is what
Charlemagne Tower says. He has been
for years our very acceptable Embassa-
dor to the Court of the Gar, and is now
out of it all. He has returned to New
York, and with his family will again
take up his residence in the Tower an
cestral home at Wateryille, few miles
south of New York, after many years
absence.
The house was erected 100 years ago
by Reuben Tower, grandfather of the
present owner. and but very few
changes have been made in it during
all these years.
Ex-Embassador Tower and family
will reside in the Waterville homestead
at least during the Summer months.

DIR. Margaret Long, daughter Of for
mer Secretary John D. Long, of the
Navy, has become a convert to equal
suffrage as a result of observing 1t in
actual operation in Colorado. She went
West a few years ago and settled in
Denver. Colorado women have accom-
plished a material amount Of good in
the brief time they have had the bal
lot" she writes. 1T seems impossible
to me that anyone can live in Colorado
long enough to get into touch with the
life here and not realize that women
count far more in all the affairs OF this
not the power which the suffrage gives.
More attention is paid to their wishes,
and much greater weight is given to
their opinions and judgment. In actual
legislation their greatest influence is
seen in the advance along humane lines.
The humane laws of Colorado surpass
those of any other State or country, and
they have only risen to that since wo-
men got the ballot"
Acting Secretary of War Oliver has
informed the authorities in charge of
the tercentenary observance of the dis
covery of Lake Champlain. July next,

aground in the engagement fought on
Lake Champlain in 1776.
Old Fort Severn, at Annapolis, Nd.
is to be demolished. Assistant Secre-
tary of the Navy Beekman Winthrop
has decided upon this, because the fort
stands obtrusively in the reservation Of
the United States Naval Academy.
Mr.. Winthrop declared that he had
the greatest reverence for anything his
torical, but as Fort Severn had never
been fired upon nor fired a hostile shot
since it was built, about 1910. he could
see no reason why it should not be de-
molished. A tablet marking the site
will be erected.
Last Friday afternoon President and
Mrs Taft gave one of the most enjoy
able garden parties at the White House
that is remembered here. 1t was q
regular Dresden sort of a thing. The
ladies were in handsome attire, and the
setting in the tender green of the White
House grounds made an exquisite pic
ture. Mrs. Taft was charmingly gowned
in old rose charmeuse, and wore
white erin turban with lark pink roses
on 1t. The Army and Navy officers
present wore white duck uniforms, and
the Marine Band members, led by Prof.
Santelmann, wore white trousers and
scarlet coats. Punch and ices were
served from a flower-ladened table. A
lot of pretty young ladies in epuisite
garden party costumes assisted at the
punch tables.
