chief executive Of the nation

III
l ors, who broke bread with the
II chief executive Of the nation
during the past week, and two
weddings of Importance of the
/ first day of October may be regarded as
ayant couriers of an approaching gay
II season To be sure, with the passing OF
Mr. Taft from the scene yesterday WASH
ington life lost much of Its tone, but
| then the recollection comes to us all that
shortly he will be back with Mrs. Taft
and Miss Taft, and once again the social
flame will burn brightly and washington
will indeed be itself again.
Really the past week has been a notable
one. It was an eventful one for hun
dreds of Washingtonians. Very few OF
us had ever seen q real live sultan, ana
when we looked upon his royal high
ness Hail Mohammed Jamabul Hiram III,
by the grace of the United States and
of the Prophet Mohammed Sultan of Sulu,
we marveled-at least many of us looked
twice and then some. Not very good
taste to stare. but, nevertheless, staring.
And, too, when we consider Hiram IL we
must not forget his brother with the
surname of "Wasit," three hajis and a
salip-whatever that may be. But then
Hiram and his brother, as we'll as the
rest of us, look toward the same Capitol
l.
Court for the never-failing fountains of
wisdom. In this line, at least, We are
related and should be happy to have
them with us, even though they may con-
tribute to the gayety.
Prince Sum was the big man, how
