1t is likely that the Esches will bring
their eldest daughter to Washington and
present her to society next winter. Mrs.
I.sch will, however, follow her regq ar
routine this session and leave all but her
two youngest children at school in La
Crosse, with NJ IS Irene as the house
mother. Mrs. Esch is a pleasant. easy
converse tionalist, genial in manner and
full of interesting information. She can
tell some enterta. ming stories about ner
little ones. but she rarely introduces that
theme herself If you ask about her chill
dren. you may get some quaint tales, but
she is the unusual mother in that she pre-
fers to hear about other child en- rather
than to laud her own. Last winter airs.
Esch came across an elder'y lady who
once taught school in her old home in
Sparta She immediately renewed the
friendship, and has invited the former
preceptress to La Crosse and in Washing
ton she bestows on her all the time she
can spare. This is one of the strong
characteristics of Mrs. Esch, her devotion
to old traditions and the obligations OF
friendship. AS a modern mother in Israel,
she Is a notable woman. She does so
many things well and nothing better or
more efficiently than the training of this
interesting group of chi 'dren. Just few

While still engaged in filing the gaps

Gen. Leslie confined to his intrenchments
There was no overrunning the country,
and there was no escape for Leslie II the
French fleet appeared. But the French
did not arrive. Washington either had
other ideas or the French had other ideas.
At any rate, Leslie was able to board
ship and sail away, his expedition a
fiasco, but the Americans more disgust
ed than he possibly could be.
In January. 1871. there was new In

Before the month closed Steuben and

tried vainly to put through a plan con-

California. Mrs. Esch did not go to col
lege, though she studied diligently at
home and to all purposes has thorough
education along the higher lines. one
feature of her children's education III
which she takes a special pride is that
they all speak German fiuently. rms Is
a rare occurrence even among the chill
dren of native Germans, and both Mr.. and
Mrs. Esch, though of German parentage,
are natives of Wisconsin.
But apart from pride in her race, Mrs.
Esch thinks highly of German from the
standpoint of culture and for commercial
training She began the study of the
language as a small child and continued
1t all through her school life. She then
took special courses in the literature and
philosophical development OF Germany,
and today reads all the reviews and best
books which come from the fatherland.
In addition to this she has studied Latin,
and that her son attained such high rat
ing when he entered the University of
Wisconsin was largely due to the firm
foundations laid by his mother in the
classics and kindred themes. Young Paul
is the particular pride of his mother, and
in La Crosse he bids fair to rival his re-
vered parent. He Is a leader in all So
cial movements and, as president of the
debating club, he has secured all the
prizes. Paul undoubtedly will follow his
fathers footsteps and select politics and
the law as a profession. He is already
well informed on the contemporaneous
history of politics and knows his state as
a good Christian should know the Bible.
