gency and believed in their ability to
wrestlc successfully with the problem
of living. Indeed, one of the Joys L
felt in living in Washington was to dis
cover how many useful women exist
among those who are known abroad as
butterflies, In the Congressional club
there are so many fine musicians, Wom

after years of patient study, who have

and to charitable objects, many, indeed,
still continue to labor for love of the
art and for good causes when the need
OF earning living has passed away.
The number of fine cooks among the
women In offcialdom should give new
heart to the pessimists who declare that
home keeping is passing out of exist
ence among American femininity Many
tunes during the past winter delicious
supper would be served at the club, all
the work of the members. Next winter
we intend to continue to promote the
culinary arts and to invite the law
makers Of the nation to bear witness
that In their division of society, cooking
is in its golden age, and is esteemed
above all accomplishments
Society Is Wondering.
Society is wondering how much ere

came from London that the engagement
OF Miss Katherine Elkins. daughter Of
Senator Elliins Of West Virginia, and
Lieutenant Billy Hit, son of Congre
man HIT of Illinois, exists. According
to the vague information which reaches
me, the engagement will be announced
In this city in October / doubt it very
much, but / doubt even more the latter
part Of the report which says that the
Duke Of the Abruzzi will be present at

the Italian count was sufficient to pre-
clude the possibility of Miss Ekins
Joining the house of the Abruzzis.
Mrs. Elkins and Miss EllSins have
been travelling abroad, as is their an
nnal custom. Senator Elkins has been
fitting about in a special train spend
ing some time at Hot Springs with Pres
ldent Oscar Murray of the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad, other time at Beverly and
New York.
