Attention, mammas, and likewise as- piring daughters.
 Dan Cupid has his eye on Washing ton, D. C.. as a matrimonial market, wherein are gathered titled, noneyed and brilliant attaches of all foreign governments, besides American states men, many of them with millions of dollars at their command There are numbered among these brainy men who are doing things" and who infiu- ence the conduct and department Of the world, bachelors and widoWers galore.
 Therefore to ambitious mammas and aspiring daughters Washington is re- commended by the little god of love over Newport, Palm Beach or Ostend, whether money, social position or title be the object of the matrimonial aspiration.
 Most of the men of prominence in Washington are men of brains, not mere social fritterlings. and they turn their brains to account. That state ment based on observation. is sup plemented by statistics which show there are 11,000 futtering and expect ant feminine souls in Washington Tn excess of the eligible masculine sup ply. But this means little, for most of the surplus works for its living and hence is outside the pale
 On the other hand, not a few of the masculine eligibles who "do things and whose chief attractions are brains, sometimes accompanied by good looks. also toll for a living. The ex- perienced onlOoker at the social game ,s of the opinion that not Tn twenty years has the matrimonial market been so good as at present in the national capital.
 The number of matrimonially un- attached men in Washington is suf- fcient to astonish the most blase. Knoweldge of who these men are and what they do is sufficient to cause disciples of matrimony to cast their nets with expert hands
 Clifford Pinchot, for instance, Is Washington bait for alluring young women who might aspire to win the love of a game fighter and first con fdent of Colonel Roosevelt, on the lat ter'S triumphant homecoming. MT. Pinchot is a bachelor, possessed of considerable wealth-enough to satis- fly the aspirations of any female with charm.
 But starting as near the throne as possible-right in the present cabinet there is Taft's postmaster general, Frank H. Hitchcock. one of the most unimpressible of official bachelors. MT. Hitchcock has done nothing to warrant any ones calling him a mi sogynist, but he seems to get on ad- as a sentimental free lance, and shows a most perverted taste for the luxury of his club lounging chairs.
 Among the supreme court judges there is Moody, one of the youngest m embers of that august tribunal, and a beau of many years standing To be sure, Justice Moody has passed the half-century mark, but he still is in his prime. He has had a long experi- ence in Washington society, having served as attorney general previous to his appointment to the supreme court
 Capitol Hill simply swarnrs with eligibles. There are a dozen at least in the senate, bachelors or widowers, who like and are liked by society, and many of them belonging to the millionaire class. For instance, there is Senator Brandegee of Connecticut, one of the youngest men in the sen ate. He is good looking, comes of a fine old New England family and has 8 personal record of which any woman might we'll be proud. He is said to be worth easily $30000 900 and probably S5. 000, ,00O - Washington Correspond CIine lI-I
