! Frankly. I do nol," declared Mrs.
Owen. This is, as have just said, a
cosmopolitan place The Southern wo-
men who come here have always
brought, AMI will continue to bring,
their beautiful qualities of charm and
generosity. They will continue to be,
as they have been, the very incarnation
Of the true spirit of hospitality.
But 1 cannot say that the Southern
hostess, or the Western hostess. will
add to the renown OF the Northern host
ess. I do not see how the hospitality,
or the elegance. or the good taste Of
certain Northern women now residing In
Washington. could be eclipsed by wo-
men from any other section of the couE-
try, or the world. You see. the women
OF the North have had for years and
wears the money which is necessary to
the enjoyment of the brilliant social
career And il they entertain Iavishiy,
that does not necessarily means that
they entertain :nelegantly or with vuI-
gar display. So, you see. the charm,
and open heartedness Of. the Southern
woman of limited means, and the ex-
pensive, but elegant and refined. enter

both needed, whether we are living un-

Another Southern woman, "and .

explains. is Mrs. Edward B White,
wife OF the new Chief Justice She
is a sister of the late Senator Gibson
of Louisiana, and is a charming wom-
an who will fill gracefully the official
social duties that now devolve upon
her as wife of the Chief Justice OF
the Supreme Court. other Supreme
Court hostesses of the Democratic
party are Mrs Horace Lurton, a na-
tive of Tennessee; Mrs. Justice La
mar, of Georgia. and Mrs. Van Devan-
ter, of Tennessee.
Mrs. Richmond Pearson Hobson, Mrs
Henry D. Clayton, of Alabama, and Mrs.
Martin Litileton, now of New York, but
of Texas, are other Southern
women who will be among the most
popular of the young hostesses in the
set.
The West contributes Mrs. Henry T.

the Congressional Club. She is a leader
IN progressive thought, and is a hostess
Of great originality.
Mrs. Robert L. Owen herself has spent

BROOKLYN DISCOVERS THAT
IT HAS A SHRINE.

A citizen of Brooklyn, n. Y, has
offered a prize of $500 for the. best
poem on the Battle of Brooklyn, and
5000 for the second best. The circular
which tells about it says among other
things that a. have within the heart
of our old Brooklyn the greatest his
torical shrine that exists anywhere in
this country. For here, indeed, was
fought our first BATTLE as a nation."-
All of which is respectfully referred
to the citizens of Charlestown, Mass,
for appropriate action through their
local improvement association. If we
are not in error there is a shrine on
Breeds Hill in that section of Boston
which, in the opinion of Charlestown
citizens, past and present, is at least
as great as any shrine now or to be
erected in Brooklyn. The Battle of
Bunker Hill was fought on June II,
ITS, which was some time prior to
that first battle as a nation" which
was fought in Brooklyn on August q,
l776. It is true that independence had
not been formally declared when the
Battle of Bunker Hill was fought, but
a nation was born on April TO-. IT'S,
and was formally baptized in Charles
town less than two months later.
1t is to be hoped that the liberal
Brooklyn citizen will receive worthy
poems on the Battle of Brooklyn. He
won't get anything half as stirring as

Second Delegation to
Texas Not Yet Named

According to statement made this
morning by Lieut.. Col. Samuel E.
Smiley, adJutant general of the District
National Guard, he does not expect that
the War Department will make known
its selection of the second groupof o1ncers
to be sent to the Texas border until next
week The three officers already named
will not return from their two weeks
service on the boundary until April 10,
and the second lot will not be detailed
until the return of the first.
Attention of the National Guard Of
ficials is now being confined to prepara-
tions for the pending inspections.
Colonel Smiley explained this morning
that the reason the prejudice against
Sunday inspection had been ignored this
wear was that most of the men who are
rarements to ,play every evening ana
cannot be inspected then. The musical
organizations win be inspected Sunday
afternoon. S.

Question Is Whether Afluence Can
Learn New Ideas From
Hospitality.
By sELENE ARMSTRONG.

Mrs. Robert L. Owen, wife of Senator
Owen, simply flibustered when I asked
her.
Really, now, do you think it is quite
fair to expect me to answer that ques-
ton?' she laughingly protested.
Couldn't you let the subject-well,
couldn't you let IL mellow for a while,
and ask me about It another day?H
And as she spoke, noted that.it was
with the cultured enunciation of the
woman of the world. Her words did not
trail after each other, with what every
body calls that soft, Southern drawL
! She did not speak the raw-boned, angu-
lar language of the true Westerner, nor
did her RS buzz like those Of the

But that question! began to wonder,

which we sat talking did not decide the
question for me. The mellow tones OF

however, was its pictures. From dozens

they have started, the $300OO will be

Synopsis OF sermon preached by Rev.
j. M. Glenn on last Saturday at the Lees
burg Methodist Church. Text: Gen 49,
10. Scripture Lesson: Eph. 5: 22-2S.
Marriage and the Making of Home.
|. A Home Defined.
Not mere enclosure, whether simple
or elegant, furnishing food and shelter.
It is the seat of those affections arising
out of the relations of man in families.
It's foundation is the union, ACCORDING
TO THE LAWS OF GOD, of one man and one
woman or husband and wife.
H. The Making of Home.
The foundation ofsuch structure must
be well laid. The first stone is
(a) Choosing companion.
4. Consider in this important matter
heredity, and
2. Environment.
(b) Rearing children
(a) Importance Of it.
(b) How to train them.
l. Parental influences.
2. Example.
3. Good wholesome parental authority.
Had we space we would gladly
print the entire sermon, but our
space is limited and tho. we are i'm
pressed with the thought that a
perusal of the whole sermon would
be good for all yet we have to be
governed by these limitations. 1t is
truth to say that the influence Of
such a sermon upon every one is
elevating and surly points our
thoughts and aspirations to better
lives, nobler aspirations. 1t eyi-
IDENTIFY made q profound impression
