The White House had been twenty
eight years without a daughter of mar
riageable age when the. popular Alice
Roosevelt made her famous debut, her
direct predecessor having been Nelly
Grant.
This White House belle Of a generation
ago was kept in school the first three
years Of her fathers eight years in the
White House. Then she made her debut
at a reception which her mother, strict
Methodist, deemed a more suitable enter
tainment than a ball for the young people
of their daughters age.
Like her successor. the Princess Alice,
Miss Grant was destined to lose her heart
while crossing the ocean. While coming
over on the Russia" after European
tour, late in 1872. she met Algernon Sar-
toris, a grandson of Charles Kemble. the
actor. and nephew of Fanny Kemble.

nineteen and he twenty-three, they were
married In the east room, in the presence
of two hundred guests, including the
cabinet families and the high officers of
the army, navy and diplomatic corps. all
in their brilliant uniforms. President and
Mrs. Grant went over to New York to
see their only daughter sail for her new
home in England, whence she was to
return, before many years, widow.
Another generation had almost reached
back from Nelly Grants reign to the
time of the previous White House

suddenly called in the summer of 1850 to
succeed President Taylor. She like Nelly

Mrs. Bourne is woman of intensely
domestic nature. and much Of her time
is taken up with home duties and in
pursuits that beautify the home and
add to its comfort. But she never
possessed the courage to face the diff
ficulties Of maintaining a home here.
Since coming to the capital she has
resided at Stoneleigh Court, and given
personal attention to her household.
Both the senator and she are devoted
to foreign travel, and for this reason
they have not lived at their old home
in Portland. Ore. for several years. But

burden to me that it is to some women.
So many things that we imagine we
must have are not essential at all. I
love my garden, and 1 really miss my
roses and the trees and vines which
have been my companions these many
years. I often wish that my country
men could appreciate the old world idea
of country life, of having time to en-
JOY things. Of not rushing through at
GREATNESS pace. The English coun-
try home is ideal in this particular.
There the host prefers the few, rather
than the many. and this is the key

Washington was destined to be very

was youthful Maria Monroe who, al

satisfying. They take time to read. to
talk over books with their friends, and
their day is not rent into infinitesimal
parts by futile social cares. Another
thing that amazes me about my country
woman is the amount of time and
energy that she gives to her raiment.
II grant that a well gowned woman is
the most attractive object in the world.
and do not blame any woman for dress
ing as becomingly and as deliberately as
her means and time permit. But to en-
slave ones self for dress is another
proposition; to be compelled to spend a
large part of your existence planning
gowns, or having them fitted, makes any
well balanced person rebel. This idea Of
being ashamed to wear gown the Sec
ond season is absurd. and is merely fCl-
lowing the dictates of milliners and
modistes, whose business it is to impose
such rule. In England hostesses of the
highest distinction are not ashamed to
wear a handsome robe for the second or
third season. Here 1t amounts to
social solecism to wear the same gown
twice in one year, and to appear in the
same gown for two seasons nearly
amounts to sensation. / object to being

going into society means to add this bur-
den to the others, no wonder so many
are dropping out"

characteristic zeal she became a pupil

done some dainty work with her favorite

LITTLE BOY BLUE IS LOST

JOHNNY BROWN SPRAYS FROM HOME AND POLICE ARE ASK
 ED TO LOCATE HIM.

Johnnie Brown is a trifie over three years old and when he isn't running away from home and scar ing his parents and little brothers and sisters half to death, he lives at 213 West Madison street Yesterday Johnnie was a veritable little boy blue His clothes were blue and he himself felt blue If he had but fol- lowed the admonition of the old song and blown his horn. lot of heart aches and excitement in the neighbor- hood of his home might have been avoided But he either didn't have a horn or he neglected to sound any blasts upon it for he succeeded per fectly in concealing his whereabouts from his parents and others interest ed for several hours yesterday after noon and evening.
 It was an excited trio of children that rushed into the police station asst evening just as the shades of night were beginning to fall and ap- pealed for aid in locating the missing boy Down in the Brown neighbor- hood a dozen of men and women were securing the various streets endeavoring to locate the child and restore him to his parents. And then when hope of ever seeing the little one again had about abandoned the breasts of all. the youngster was found not such q terrible distance from where he had been last seen playing with other children. The re- union was about as affecting as though the child had been absent from home for years.

PROPERLY PEN|TENT WAS MATTHEW BLAhsHAN
CHARGE OF BURGLARY AGAINST
 HIM WAS REDUCED.

Matthew BlanShan was clothed in his right mind yesterday afternoon though it was not happy mind. He was under arrest for burglary and was brought into Justice Johnstone's court for trial. The prisoner had signified that he would like to escape that serious charge by pleading guilty to the charge of petty larceny It was the opinion of the court and all the officers who had knowledge of the case that he should be given that privilege. It was plain in that what ever Blanshan might have done he was not professional burglar but a hard working young man. He had made the mistake of getting drunk last Saturday and going to the block. He entered the room of Francisco Santasotorm, and. finding her asleep he investigated the contents of the room. He found purse containing about $17 and took that. He took such other articles as suited him and among them several letters addressed to the woman.
 No one had seen him so that he might have escaped leaving no clue but he afterward went back to the room and that time the woman awoke from sleep and screamed Blanshan ran out but was soon after captured by Marshall Moore and turned over to the county authorities ! Blanshan had spent little or none of the money he had stolen. He ex- pressed a proper pentitence for his offense' and said that it was the first time that he had ever had any trouble,
 Accordingly the burglary charge against him was dismissed and he entered a plea of guilty to a charge of petty larceny He was sentenced thirty days in the county jail or to the payment of fine of s30.
