There could be nothing more illustrative of apt
woman opportunities help her husband than the
of the young matron who at dinner sat next the
senior Senator from her State. Her husband, who
member of the lower house. was enjoying considerable
notice the newspapers the time because of speech
he had made In reply to the Senator's complimentary
references to the Representative work. the wife said:
well you know Senator my husband regards you
his teacher and sponsor in political affairs. Only the
other day he said he felt that he owed his
aid and encouragement"
That subtle appeal to the older mans vanity bore
fruit from that time He always at the call of
the Representative, and missed chance his
influence among the Representatives to get their sup
port for local bills advocated by the young from his
State To this day. the Senator looks upon the Repre-
sentative as his political ward Such an alliance is OF

@HIFFON politics? The ma
tional Capital is full of it.
~ If YOU are familiar with
Washington affairs, you can count
more than a dozen women who
exercise a political influence far
greater than welded by many
members of the House of Repre-
sentatives. This is the heyday of
chiffon politics. Some women
touch the currents of passing
events individually. Others mag
nifty their pc yer by forming coali
lions with other women.
A superficial glance at society
in the Capital shows you what
YOU see in the social circles of
other Cities storm of chiffon, a
flood of afternoon tea, and babel
of small talk. But go deeper, and
you will find the things, the great
things, that women do in Wash
ington. They have made Am
bassadors, and unmade them;
they have brought together men
of divergent views; they have
put bills through Congress; and
they have kept Congress from
enacting other bills into law.
They touch foreign and home
affairs while they tinkle spoon
;,cinst shell-like cup, and they
forward a mans ambition while
they dance a waltz.
If l were asked to define 'oll-
tics, | should call it an effec i've
combination of knowledge, intui-
ton, and tact-explaining at once
that tact is one of the highest
brain manifestations known to our
civilization. And, if this definition
is true one, it is easy to see how
women can and do attain tremen-
dous political power. Some are
given their opportunities because
they are the wives of prominent
politicians. Others make their
own opportunities. | refer not SO
much to concerted efforts for pro-
hibition and woman suffrage as |
do to the great mass of political
things that are achieved day after
dav by the big men of the Capital.

Among the leaders of the chiffon politicians are Mrs.
Taft, wife of the President; Miss Mabel Boardman;
Mrs John Hays Hammond, wife of the millionaire
mining engineer; Mrs Crane wife of Senator Winthrop
Murray Crane Mrs. Clark wife of the Speaker of the
House; Mrs. La Toilette, wife of the Senator from
Wisconsin; Mrs. Cummins, wife of the Senator from
Iowa; and Mrs Gore, wife of the Senator from Okla
homa But there many Others whose influence
on national politics is continually felt, and whose
acquaintance with public affairs makes them factors
ALWAYS to be reconed with. All of them distinctly
womanly proving that the habits of thought among
women are essentially, in themselves valuable political
assets.
Seeking Woman's Influence
HERE is an illustration of the estimation in which
IL a womans influence may be held by a man in
Washington:
She was society woman, versed in current events
and making her knowledge attractive by her ready wit
and sp; lg comment. Men were always entertained
when could get within earshot of her conversation
and hosesses counted themselves lucky when they could
have her their dinner tables Her popularity among
diplomats and statesmen proverbial
