Clark have filled their places SO I'M
ostentatiously and SO well. Few have
such entertaining family histories or
can claim such interesting descent
Senator Clark comes from somewhere
else. as do nearly all of his generation
In the western country. He is a native
of Illinois. but has long been identified
with the far west and is now absolute
~ western in ideals. Mrs. Clark de-
lights in the glories OF her adopted
state, and unlike many who get IN
fatuated with eastern life, she becomes
more and more attached to her west
ern home. Senator and Mrs. Clark
leave Washington for Evanston just
as soon as congress adjourns, and they
generally remain the entire summer.
Three Daughters.
Senator and Mrs. Clark have three
daughters They are well educated
None Of the family lean toward clubs,
though Mrs. Clark remarks. her
daughters claim lineage with the first
club woman in America, Anne Hutch
inson. Senator Clark comes in direct
line on the distant side from sir John
King, Of Northampton, who came TO
Massachusetts, in its earliest history
and gave the name Of that ancient
borough to the town of the old Bay
state which still retains It. Two wo-
men OF his line have written their
names in large letters on the history
OF the country. Anne Hutchinson, cf
whose adventurous life Ebert Hob
bard has written so entertainingly,
and Mary Dyer. the Quaker martyr
burned by the Puritans on Boston COM
mon on June 1, 1860. Mrs Clark traces
many Of the indomitable traits OF
Anne Hutchinson in her husbands de-
votion to the cause of women in poll
tics to this distinguished kinswoman.
Anne Hutchinson, as history draws her
was a political as well as religious
leader and controversial one and was
a power for good In her day Her
memory is reverent1y kept green among
her distant kindred Of Wyoming and
many stories and historical sketches
bearing on her time may be found in
Senator Clarks' library The senator
has recently become interested in trac-
ing his lineage in England and Scot
land and he has gathered a most en-
tertaining and valuable lot Of books
on these themes.

Mrs. Clark is a member Of the Epis-
copalian faith, and with her 6augh-
ters IS a regular attendant at the
Church of the Incarnation She is s.

ones. She is also a woman OF wide
culture and interested In progress in
every direction. She has encourag ed
her daughters to pursue more satis-
flying existence than giving the entire
time to social diversions. Her second

so many interests in life that I coul1

family, nor I may say any one living
