ator Lorimer has had his title made
clear to the office Of junior United
States Senator from Illinois. Probably
there is NOT in public life a family man
of more irreproachable character than
that borne by United States Senator
Lorimer. He has a delightful wife and
whole culver full of kids of which he
is father and who are devoted to him.
Senator and Mrs. Lorimer care abso-
lutely nothing for society life, altho
Mrs. Lorimer is calculated to make a
most charming hostess and especially
when it comes to entertaining Senator
I,orimer's friends Senator Lorimer's
private and hoem life is unimpeachable,
and that cannot be said of all public
men. You could not make his wife be-

in his life. She believes that the United
States Senate honored itself in thus

fact that the wives of Cabinet Ministers
and the wives of the Chief and Asso-
cia1e Justices of the Supreme Court do
not entertain on Sunday. Among the
women in Washington who seem to Sc

John Hays Hammond, Mrs. James w.

Wadsworth; Mrs. Henry du Pont, wife
of Senator du Point; Mrs. Levi Letter,
Mrs Preston Gibson, Mrs. Oliver Crom-

vows" because of the fact that a few
rich people choose to entertain on Sun
day, II is doubtless true that the idea
will never obtain to a wide practice in
this country. Even people who do not
believe in churches at all do believe in
the Biblical order, six days shalt thou
labor" not because they have any dis
position whatever to observe a seventh

but just because they believe that ev-

nomic idea for people to pause one day
in seven and get acquainted with their
own souls. We live at such a rapid
pace that a breathing spell at least
once in seven days is almost necessity
that we may pause and oil up the ma
chinery and give 1t a chance to begin
another six days handicap.
