TILTRA-SMART women in the con-
~ gressional set in Washington have
virtually withdrawn their support
from the Congressional club, and the
organization faces either extinction or
humdrum monotony, which nobody
dared to predict when the club was
formed just before the close of the
last session of congress.
Trouble has been brewing in the
club these many months, but it was
formally brought before the! body only
at the last meeting, just before many
of the officers were about to leave the
city for the summer. 1t came to a
crisis when certain members failed to
pay their annual dues. AS the club has
leased fashionable home in K street
and the rent man and the grocer have
to be dealt with before long, dues are
a matter of vital Importance.

situation lies another, which Is casting

WASHINGTON. - The Roosevelt
w tennis cabinet" is to make one
more bid for public recognition before
1t takes permanently to the shelf
where it was laid upon the departure
of it's chief from the White House.
Two of it's most prominent members
in the persons of James Rudolph Gar
field, late secretary of the interior,
and Clifford Pinchot, chief forester of
the department of agriculture, have
put their heads together and the
fruits of their conniving will be a
large and interesting volume entitled
"Roosevelt's Administration"
1t is whispered about Washington
that other members of the now ia
nous aggregation of comparatively
young federal oficeholders and all
around hustlers from all walks of
life whom Mr.. Roosevelt invited by
successive stages to his council room,
luncheon table and tennis court, are
preparing to give the public some in
side facts concerning the great seven
years of the administration recently
closed. Mr.. Garfield and Mr.. Pinchot,
however, are the first to be actually
discovered at their task.

MAJ Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, and had
become captain when honorably
mustered out of the Third United
States volunteer infantry, at the
end of the war.
In June, 1904, he married Mile.
Germaine Cecile Noufflard, grand
daughter of Sir Charles Halle, a dis
tinguished English musician. Before
the marriage Mr.. Sartoris joined the
Catholic church.
The origin of the feud in the Grant
family is not related by those of the
ex-president's descendants who admit
it's existence. It is asserted, however,
that the quarrel has been on for some
years, and that the family is divided
into two bitterly hostile camps. At
the head of one faction is Mrs. Nellie
Grant Sartoris, favorite daughter Of
President Grant and almost idolized
by the American public at the time
of her marriage to Sartoris, the Brit
ish diplomat, during her fathers stay
at the White House. The other fac
ton is led by Gen. F. D. Grant, whose
popularity with the American public
is a matter of more recent growth

they are opposite in temperament,
character, training, and every other
respect.
Senator Aldrich punched a few
street railroads in his native state,
sold and resold them until he can
afford to be United States senator
as long as he lives. Senator La Fol
lette grabbed at fame with one hand
and carved out lecture career with
the other in order to make living on
the side. He wants money only to
blow it in on his show.
Senator Aldrich has sublime faith
in the wisdom of men with money,
and he fights for them as he would
for principles. What is best for them
he considers best for the whole coun-
try. il they prosper and are salts
fed, H. follows, according to his doc
trine. that all must be prosperous and
contented. Senator La Toilette takes
the other end of the game. He is for
the man who has very little money,
for the one who individually works for
every dollar he gets. And they stand
up in the senate about six feet apart
and fight it out along these lines.

CENATORS ALDRICH and La Fol-
- lette do the glazing for the senate,
while the tariff fight is on. The Rhode
Island senator has a cold, glittering
glare, as becomes man who believes
in money and lots of it. The Wiscon-
sin senator has a fussy, fighting glare.
1t is both glare and gloat, and if
the senate can stand for the phrase,
it "gets Aldrich's goat" The senate
leader begins to get nervous just the
moment the Wisconsin glare is turned
on him. He tries to glare in return,
but soon leaves for the senate cloak

is not dignified to sputter in the senate

dress party in which the guests were
requested to come dressed as famous
lovers" Husbands and wives, broth
ers and sisters, maids and their ia
vorite SWANS came together and great
was the fun trying to guess who was
who. There were John Alden and Pris-
ella, Hiawatha and Minr ehaha, Paul
and Vidginia, Queen Elizabeth and

q successful hostess upon being asked
the best color scheme. Pink bears
both the daylight and the artificial
light equally we'll, and is always be-
coming, fact not to be overlooked by
q thoughtful hostess.
Blue changes to green at night, but
under certain conditions it is a rather
good scheme to use it. Yellow is not
satisfactory color to have at night,
as it is apt to look faded from the
sunlight. Violet is not good at night,
but at present is much in favor for
spring luncheons, with corsage bou-
quets at each place for the guests.
Red is rarely used in warm weather,
but is always delightful in winter time,
carrying with a suggestion of warmth
and welcome that is grateful. A North
side hostess invariably uses red the
year round, as it harmonizes with her
furnishings and service, so that the
color has come to be recognized as
her own individually and her red din
ners are noted.
Green alone and combined with
white is always pleasing and is a sum-
mer time favOrite.
Ferns are always good and may be-
kept fresh long time if placed one
over the other on a flat board, then
immersed in cold water and kept in
cool, dry place. 1t is in good form
to use the flower that is in season,
and the Japanese method of using
flowers is being adopted more and
more, as the flower holders are on sale
now at nearly all of the department
stores.

The book will contain a complete

years Of Mr.. Roosevelt's occupancy Of

a fairly definite account of what took
place in the inner councils of three
years previous, for although the "ten-

in its organization until some time
after Mr.. Roosevelt's presidential ca

Cousin McDooble's natural history
knowledge came to his aid, for the
memory of the East Indian mongoose
returned to his mind. He knew that
the mongoose is kept as pet by many
Hindoos to kill serpents, and that very
minute he decided that the best thing
he could do was to be mongoose. So
he did.
The only thing that troubled him
was that he didn't know what a mon.
goose looked like or how it acted OF
what kind of a noise it made. He
couldn't, to save his life, remember
whether it was bird or beast, but
he was pretty sure it wasn't a fish.
A fish wouldn't be much good at rnn-
ming around a house chasing snakes.
But Cousin Orone McDooble did the
best he could, and it worked pretty
well, for garden-hose isn't particu.
lar what kind of noise an imitation
mongoose makes, just so it makes
a good loud noise. So Cousin Orone
McDooble got down on his hands and
knees and made a noise like mon
goose. 1t was something like dog
and something like a hyena. And every
three yelps he snarled and showed his
teeth and jumped at the garden-hose.
The garden-hose just hung there as
silent and still as the grave and glared
him in the eye! And the more it
glared the madden Cousin Mongoose
McDooble got. He fairly bounced
fhn 90 1x,y, hi
hands and knees, snarling and snap
ping, and all at once he jumped right
up and bit the garden-hose in the
neck! And the garden-hose bit
back!
That almost settled Cousin Orona
Mongoose, for all at once he remem.
bered something he had forgot, which
was that the mongoose, before fear
lessly attacking serpent, neutralizes
the poison by eating the Ophiorhiza
Mungos, and. he had forgotten to
eat any! So he dashed away and bit
piece off rhubarb plant, and then
dashed back and bit the garden-hosa,
and he kept it up until on one round
trip the spigot Of the nozzle caught in
his pocket and as he ran the garden
hose leaped out of the tree and went
leaping after him. My, but Cousin
Orone McDooble was scared! He
jumped right into the rhubarb patch
and ate three whole plants before he
was sure he had eaten enough poison
antidote, but once he was sure he was
no more afraid of that garden hose
than | would be. He lay right down
fiat and seized it by the nozzle, and
wrapped his legs around it, and
chewed it, growing like a pup with a
slippery bone.
1t was struggle for life or death.
and Cousin Orone McDooble chewe,i

fore he was sure it was dead, but when
he was sure it was dead he was the
happiest mongOose that ever killed a

yard uttering short, sharp barks of JOY
and then, not feeling sure th.t all the

that he ought to protect his poultry at
all hazards, he went into the hen house

The First Anniversary.

nC TISk SNIIIlIVCtS0tys
Wedding anniversary celebrations
are usually informal, especially when
the idea of the celebrations is carried
out, as for instance, a cotton" we'd
ding, which celebrates the first ami
versary.
A sheet and pillow case party on
this occasion is both appropriate and
enjoyable. For both men and women
the sheets may be put on in about the
same way. The width is passed
around the body just below the arm
pits, the two corners brought to the
back, crossed, then each drawn up
over the shoulders, and all secured in
front with a pin. A little practice will
enable one to don these ghostly gar
ments in really becoming manner.
The length of the sheet falls straight
all around.
Rather large sheets should be used,
that there may be plenty of fullness.
White dominoes may be worn or the
pillow cases may be used. II there
are draperies in the room, for this oc-
casion they may be replaced with
sheets or white cheesecloth.
The dining table may have doilies Of
cotton batting or runners made of it
and snowballs of cotton at each plate
may contain little souvenirs If the
bride wishes to give them.
Dancing may be the amusement or
cards after unmasking. An entire
white menue may be served with
chicken sandwiches coffee with
whipped cream, ice cream in the
shape of snowballs and white frosted
cakes.
Bales of cotton candy boxes may be
gotten in some places to which the
place cards could be attached and
south of the Mason and Dixon line the
tiny cotton bales prepared for tourists
would be just the thing for an affair
of this kind. In some parts of the
country, 90, real cotton blooms may
be had for decorating.
