| admitted, was adorable-an obvious
ignorance of evil, a lovely Innocence,
which revealed itself readily to the ex-
.perienced eyes of a man of the world.
Sir Percy hated knowing ONE and
that recalled Alicia Vernon. He doubted
if she, even as a young girl, had ever
been truly innocent in mind.
The afternoon WAS warm and bright,
though it was December, and carriages
fun of deliberately dressed women were
dashing about the streets and standing
in long lines before houses which We're
open on that day. Sir Percy found,
when he reached the downtown hotel.
that visitors were plentiful there also,
and thronged the halls and ~staircases.
He was shown up to the great public
dra wing-room, in which lights were al
ready blazing, and where a bevy of
Congressmen's wifes and daughters
We're holding a joint reception. The
huge room was well filled, the ladies
being in the majority. Sir Percy, stand
ing in the doorway, was searching for
Lucy Arnytage when a hand was laid
upon his arm.
II am delighted to see you, Sir
Percy" said Colonel Armytage. Lucy
will be delighted. too. She. has talked
about you necessarily since she met
you.",
r. the uncle of an English girl had
confded to Sir Percy that she had
talked about him necessarily since their
first meeting. Sir Percy would have
thought it time to ask for leave to
hunt big game i'll the Rockies. But, be-
ing a man OF brains, he recognized tie
mental attitude of Colonel Armytage
and found himself rather pleased at
the thought that this dark-eyed girl
had chatted about him. Probably he
was the first Englishman Of his kind
she had ever met. The next moment
he was being introduced to Mrs. Army
tage, a motherly soul, In a black vel
vet gown, which was the twin of Mrs.
Vereker's robeSof state. A little way
off Lucy, in a white gown, was talking
earnestly with a group of plain. elderly
persons. She turned her head and
caught sight of Sir Percy, but with a
little nod and a CLINT of a smile she
continued her conversation, and even
escorted the little group to the door,,
she said good-by Then she
came up to Sir Percy.
They were constituents" she said.
"They are very nice people at home,
but they are not much accustomed to
society, n naturally they feel a little
awkward in a room full of strangers
like this. II one takes them in hand
and is a little pleasant they are eternal

Mistress OF White House VIII
'ssfss.FP Prepare Thonksgiui ng Dinner
Real Old-fashioned Turkey Feast
viii Be Held in Washing
ton This Year.

The installation of the housekeeper was
an innovation. but Mrs Taft plans
every meal served within the walls of
the executive mansion and the Thanks
giving dinner this year promises to be
a wonder in it's way, says the writer in
Norman e. Mack's National Magazine.
The President of the United States
Is one of the few fortunate individuals
In the country who need not bother
about where the Thanksgiving meal
is going to come from. 1t Is sure to
come; in fact, It comes In such great
quantities and In such great variety
that It would take a man of more than
Mr.. Taft's ample build and considera-
bly, more than his capacity for enjoy
Ing good things to eat to get through
the menu his friends would provide.
There Is q man up In New England
who prides himself on raising turkeys.
Some years ago he sent a monster bird
to the White House for the Presidents
dinner. The turkey had been fed up
in great style. 1t had been the pride
Of the farm and the neIghborhood
throughout thai part of the country
had watched the turkey grow Into q
proper state of perfection for the
palate of the President OF the United
States. Tie turkey made a great hit
at the White House, and since that
day one prize bird several others,
just for good measure, have been sent
down from the New England farm for
the Thanksgiving dinner at the White
House. Other turkeys, to be sure, have
been laid before. the Presidents at this
season but none has seemed to COM
pare with the New England fowl, and
so each year the gift is repeated.
AS for vegetables, they come by
the barrel. and for this one day. at
least, the ~housekeeper to the Presi-
dent need not give a single thought to
the market house.
Thanksgiving at the White House,
much the same as at Christmas, Is a
happy time, indeed. For a family in
which there are young people, thct
great big colonial house offers the most
enhancing opportunities for giving vent
to the holiday spirit. It's great wide
halls, immense guest chambers which
would make at least four good, sized
bedrooms II they were partitioned off
as such. the high colonial fire places,
blazing with their sparkling logs and
the big l~ibrary-the White House liv-
ing-room-are ideal.

Chapter In.

u IR PERCY CARLYON had declined
to be domiciled at the British en-
bassy, as Lord Baudesert urged,
but took modest chambers close at
hand. He found plenty to do. and al
though he vas supposed to be capable
of, bullying Lord Baudesert, 1t was I'M
possible to force the ambassador TO a
regular course of work every day. Sir
Percy, however, watched the chances,
and succeeded in getting more out of
Lord Baudesert than any one else a
ever done. Moreover, Sir Percy vas a
persona grata to Mrs. yereker and the
three girls, not that this mattered to
Lord Eaadesert, who. as far as. women
were concerned. was & natural and in
durable bully and brccaneer. Lord
Baudesert was neither bad-teinpered
nor bad-hearted, but it cannot be de-.
MED that he was a trying person do
mestically. 1t was in vain that Sir
Percy reminded his aunt and cousins
that lord Baudesert had no power of
life. or death over them Int could
not eat them. Mrs. Vereker was
Mortified at the suggestion that she
should exercise a little personal liberty,
and the three girls thought Sir Percy
slightly cracked when he advised them
to assert themselves boldly in the pres
ence of their uncle. On the whole, how
ever. Sir Percy Liked his new OUTLOOK
upon the world, and considered that
ne was now IN the sunshine Of good
fortune.
Mrs. Vereker, Jane, Sarah and Isa-
bella worked hard in the society grind.
and Lord Baudesert wash less lazy in
social than in official life. Sir Percy,
UP to the evening of the bali, had not
pAid a single visit, except Of an off,
cial nature, but on the Tuesday after
noon following he put on a frock-coat
and started out armed with his card
case. In front of his own door he hesi-
tated a m to think whether he
should call on the Chantreys or the
Armytages. Ridiculous to say, Sir Percy
had been haunted by the remember

eyes of this provincial coquette-for so
he classified LucyFArmytage; and, caTl-

IN HIS DENUNCIATION

Representative TaWney fell heir TO the
floor. and in an address that lasted an
hour made an elaborate defense OF the
Appropriations Committee in curtaiiing
the duties OF the Secret Service. and
wound up by denouncing the President
for misquoting and Juggling his state
ments relative to the letter from Secre-
tary CortelyOu and the ink scandal at
the Bureau OF Engraving and Printing.
1fr Tawney said:
The arbitrary and authorized use Of
the great power of any one of the
branches of our government, If allowed
TO pass Unch2llenged, VIII go further TO
undermine the confidence Of the people in
their government than all other agencies
combined Undermine the confidence of
the people in any one of the three CO.
ordinate branches Of their government
and you have done mere to DESTROY the
foundation upon which that government
rests than co1ld - accomplished in any
other way.
When. therefore. the head of the ex-
ecutiye branch OF our government de-
Hberately charges. as was done in the
message OF the President Of December

exercise Of itc constitutional functions.

Judging from the opinions expressed
BY members Of the Senate yesterday on
receipt Of the Presidents message urging
immediate action relative 10 the gas situ-
alton in the District, a bill 10 regulate

passed before the session ends
Not only members Of the District Com
mittee in both Houses. but many who
heretofore have taken little interest in
local matters. look with favor upon the
Chief Executives suggestion and declare
that Just as soon as a suitable bill IS
drafted It win be passed
VIII Prepare BILL
It IS expected the corporation counsel
will frame this measure and present Il
either TO Senator GailiHger or Represent
ative Smith In few days.
Accompanying the message are the re-
ports OF the chemists Of the Department
Of Agriculture and the special recon-
mendation Of District Attorney Baker.
Following the reading Of President
Rooseyeit's suggestion the entire docu-
T1ent was ordered 10 be printed by the
Senate and the matter referred TO the
District Committee.
The attitude taken by various Senators
s that immediate action is Imperative
20 protect the people Of Washington. II
: pointed out that the report IS OF such
a sweeping character that thousands Of
persons have already become apprehen-
sive about The Illuminating gas furnished
them and are therefore justified in seek
ing a more stringent law.
Inasmuch as the document prepared BY
or. Wiley casts a reflection upon the
zasHght company. its standing is ma
teriauy affected Surprise is manifested
that the company itself does not volun-
tariiy change the quality Of its product,
II was said by several Of the District
committeeman yesterday that prompt &C
cion viii be taken as soon as the Dill
reaches that body. It IS almost certain
hat a Jaw compelling the gaSlight COM
pany 10 manufacture standard quality
Of gas viii be enacted before March I.
Speaking OF the messsg Senator Bur
kett. Of Nebraska, yesterday said that
he vas personally in favor Of imme-
diate action on the measure. and would
push II when the bill was prepared
II the condition is as alarming as Dr.
Wuey's report indicates. I see no reason
why every member OF the COMMITTEES
should not hasten its passage, added the
senator
Other members Of the Upper House de-
clared the bill 10 remedy the existing con-
ditions IN the gas supply would have their
hearty support. and would be enacted ar
the earliest possible moment
Vet Read in House.
Although the message was not read in
the House OF Representatives. most Of
the members knew OF its arrival. and
members Of Chairman Smiths commit
tee discussed its contents Informally after
yesterdays meeting
That the measure would be favorably
acted upon and enacted into legislation
before adjournment in March Is the opln-
ion of every member who has learned Of
the dangerous condition Of the city's gas
supply
One Representative. who IS high in the
councils OF the majority Of the Lower
House. asserted that he would strive 20
