WAsH1NGTON.-After a seven-year
" lapse during the Roosevelt ad-
m1nistration men are again giving
teas, because President Taft does not
consider tea drinking mollycoddish.
During the last year of the Roose-
welt administration men at teas were
very scarce. Even the diplomats who
were careless of Roosevelt's vigorous
~ expressed views (which often they
did not understand) finally yielded to
the influence that eventually caused
but handful of them to be present.
Teas in the afternoon practically were
wiped off the social slate.
Now this Is all changed. Even the
United States army is becoming host
at teas, and Capt. Sherwood A. Cheney
gave a tea recently to Miss Roosevelt,
daughter Of the man who believed that
an officer who would be host at tea
was no soldier. The officers at Fort
Myer and the Marine barracks expect
soon to give teas.
That tea Of Capt. Cheney was the
third big tea Of the season, although
the first to be given by an American.
Two other. large affairs were presided
over, one by the secretaries of the
German embassy on the occasion OF
the Emperor Williams birthday and
the other by the Marquis de Villalobar

Teas at the Chevy Chase club, at

First, the distance is too great, and
attendance at them and the return

much time.
Hostesses in the capital do not
deny that teas without men are very
insipid.
With the presidential approval OF
this revival Of afternoon teas-in fact
with the desire of Mr.. Taft to see his
assistants and the naval and military
officers sparkle a little more in thu
social firmament-there Is no question
that the tea will become within thu

OF the pond. Beaver houses do not
have any other openings, except some
very small air holes in the top of the
structure.
The room in this house was like the
rooms OF most beaver houses; it was
circular, four feet across and az feet
high; while the floor. with two en-
trance holes in it, was about three
inches above water or pond level.
Beavers do most of their work by
night. but occasionally work in the
daytime. One autumn afternoon I
hid on top Of rock pile close to this
beaver pond and watched three beav-
ers at work. They were cutting down
aspens for winter. One beaver con-
cluded to cut down an aspen that was
five inches in diameter. In the be-
ginning OF his labors he raised up and
placed his fOrepaws against the aspen
tree, propped himself by extending
his hind legs wide apart, and began
cutting. He worked steadily until he
had deep notch in the tree. Then
he stopped, tucked his tail between
his legs, sat down on it and continued
cutting. After gnawing away for one
hour and Is minutes he stopped and
thumped the ground three or four
times with his tail, then scampered
away, and with him scampered the
other two beavers just in time to es-
cape injury from the falling tree.
which came to earth with a resound-
ing crash.
Our beaver then removed the limbs
OF the tree and gnawed the trunk into
short lengths so that he would be able
to carry them away. While he was
working on the fallen tree one of the
other beavers, who had felled a verv
small aspen, was dragging it, limbs
and all, to the pond. This was hard
work and it consumed much time.
When the tree was finally placed in
the water the beaver caught one of
the limbs in his teeth and swan away.

water to the pile of other green trees

however, fed for the pond and jumped
in just as the coyote snapped for his
tail. He escaped, but it was a close
call. Once in the water he was safe.
Beavers have very short legs and
on land are SO slow and clumsy that
their enemies often catch them. In
water, however, they swim and dive
so easily that they usually escape
their foes.

RUDE TYPICAL BEAVER HOME

Up In the mountains at the scource
of the North st. Vrain, in Colorado, ia
a typical beaver home. The house il
a rude cone in form and stands in the
upper edge Of the pond near where q
brook enters.
Most wild animals are homeless
wanderers; the beaver, however, lives
in home of his own building and does
so many interesting.- useful things
that like him better than any of our

had long wantet: to have 4 close
look at the house and to take some
measurements. The opportunity came
one November few days after the
pond was frozen over. The pond was
120 feet wide, and. measuring from
the place where the brook came in, to
the dam, it was so feet long. The
house was made Of mixture of mud
and long willow sticks. I measured
the house around the bottom on top
OF the ice. It took 26 feet of rope to
go around 1t, while the top Of the
house was exactly five feet above the
Ice. Wondering how much of the
house was in the water under the ice,
l thought to measure by thrusting a
pole to the bottom. Since the ice
was not very thick I attempted to &C.
complish this by holding the pole in a
vertical position, raising it, then
bringing it down with all my strength
to force it through the ice. It went
through the Iceland so did l. The
water was III feet deep; so altogeth-
er the house was IN feet high.
Most beaver houses have two en-
frances. These usually consist of two
holes about one foot in diameter that
extend from the floor to the bottom
