SOCIETY IN WASHINGTON
By CONSTANCE CARRUTHERs.

some time ago. In Washington Secre- tary Knox and Senator Aldrich are pow CTS. Senator Aldrich is called Boss of the Senate" by some of the out-of-town newspapers, and 1t is unnecessary to point to the high station of Secretary Knox, But the sons of these gentlemen are unknown in Washington society.
 Neither young Mir. Knox nor young MT. Aldrich has the slightest desire for so- ciety here. The prestige of their name would have been the open sesame to any set they might have desired to enter
 Washington society is speculating whether either might, in the course of the present administration, come here to reside.
 Much interest here attends the twen- tieth annual reunion of veterans at Mo- bile on the 18th. Every effort has been made to make the affair 8 success. note that General Evans, commander -in- chief of the U. c. ", has named as chief sponsor Miss Lucy Davis Hayes, daugh- ter of the late Mrs. Joel Addison Hayes. of Colorado Springs, and granddaughter of Jefferson Davis. Another appoint- ment is that of Mrs. Harvey E. Jones of Montgomery as matron of honor for the Alabama division. Mrs. Jones is the daughter of Bishop Wilmer, who is known to fame as the war bishop of Ala bama.
 All these persons are known in Wash ington.
 Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth. who Is going to England to meet her parents. will return with Colonel and Mrs. Roose- welt. Mrs. Longworth may meet the Roosevelts upon the continent. She will doubtless be entertained lavishIy in Lon don, and in Paris, too, If she visits there.
 Miss Margaret Stewart of Seattle. who is in school here, entertained her class mates this week. Mrs. W. E. Humphrey, wife of Representative Humphrey, chap eroned the party. Girls from seven dif- ferent states were present.
 Gen. Clarence Edwards, President Tafts intimate friend, will leave early In July for a trip to the Pacific coast on official duty, and will be accompanied by Mrs. Edwards and their only daugh- ter The general will return here from Hawaii, but Mrs. Edwards and Miss Ed wards will go to Europe, where they will remain for year. Miss Edwards will be placed in school in Paris for finishing" and Mrs. Edwards will remain near her during next winter. General Edwards will join them late in the summer fol- lowing and return with them. General and Mrs. Edwards will give up their house in Lafayette square, where they have spent the last few years. Their last dinner party was given in honor of the German ambassador and Countess von Bernstorff. Mrs. Edwards will join her relatives near Buffalo for a few weeks before leaving with the general
 I understand that Miss Katherine Elk ins. who is 'oi ardent horsewoman, may ol.~ f.. H-- horse show in London. Senator Elkins hasn't time for horse shows so his daughter may be accompanied by Mrs. Elkins. Incidentally, if this comes to pass. Miss Elkins may have the oppor- tunity of applauding the achievements of a fellow resident of West Virginia, for c. w. Watson of Fairmont, w. Va, will have several exhibits, and 1t is pretty safe to guess that he will take some blue ribbons. If he fails to do so 1t will be the first time.
 Brigadier General Theodore Bingham, formerly police commissioner of New York will make his future home in Washington. For fortnight General Bingham has been casting about for a suitable residence
