SiuoS, WulCu iuCluue III luelI LHeuJbcl' ship many women high in official and social life. The Woman's Anti Food Trust league has Mrs. j. B. Tender son. wife of former Senator Hender- son of Missouri. as president
 Among other reforms the members or the society pledged themselves to abstain from purchasing meat This will be Do hardship for Mrs. Tender son. who for years has been d vege- tarfan and an advocate of simple Lv- Ing. Her dinners are among the smartest affairs in Washington, but neither meat nor wine Is served.
 The Henderson home Is always spoken of as Boundary Castle. as 1t Is just beyond Florida avenue. the for mer boundary line of the city. and 1t Is perched on top of Sixteenth street Dill. MT. and Mrs. Henderson have built dozen handsome homes near them, some of which are occupied by representatives of foreign powers as legations and embassies. One of the largest houses Is the residence of Sec retary MacVeagh.
 Poured Her Wines Into Cutters.
 Two or three years ago Mrs. Hen derson invited to her residence a tent Of the Order of Rechabites. of which she Is member. The guests poured into the gutters of Sixteenth street the priceless wines from her cellars, since which time she has stood for total abstinence as well as vegetarian ism. Mrs. Henderson has convictions and the courage that should go with them. and in making her the presi dent of the Anti-Food Trust league success for the movement was prom ised.
 Mrs. Henderson several years ago put her ideas into a book which she called The Aristocracy of Health" The book has been translated into Chinese through the influence Of for mer Minister Wu Ting-fang, who is great admirer of Mrs. Henderson's views on simple living. Mrs. Belva Lockwood, who at one time was a candidate for the presidency of the United States. Is also a member of the organization, as is also Mrs. Mary s. Lockwood. who is prominent in D A. R circles.
 Sunday Entertaining Discussed.
 The question of Sunday entertain. taining is being discussed again in Washington. The "wide-open" Sun day came to the capital with the for eign element and has steadily spread until the Americans who give din. ners, breakfasts and parties on the hrst day of the week outnumber the aliens.
 There was one notable obJector in tha diplomatic Set to the continental Sunday, and that was the wife of the former Norwegian minister. Mme. G2de, who established in the Nor. wegian legation strict observance ot the Sabbath day. She neither accept ed nor extended invitations to testivi- ties on Sunday.
 It IS well known that Mrs. Taft de plores the increasing tendency toward Sunday merry making She attends regularly either St. Johns church on Lafayette square or All Souls Uni tarian church. where the president worships
 To Honor Lundy's Lane Hero.
 Senator Jacob II. Gallinger of New Hampshire was born in Can ada, where his mother and father were born before him The fact did no, prevent Mir. Gallinger from intro ducing bill in congress for the erec- ton of the statue 10 the memory of Gen. James Miller, the hero of Lundy's Lane. In pretty nearly every school history of the United States is told the story of Gen. Miller's charge on a bat tery, and his capture thereof If mem ory serves. Miller at that time was a captain, but the chances are that most Americans remember neither his title nor his first name. but know him only as "I'll Try, Sir" Miller When Miller was asked if he could charge and take the battery his answer was I'll try, sir and the answer has stood him as front name ever since.
 It may be that some of Senator Gal. fingers immediate ancestry fought on the British side against Scott and Miller and the rest at Lundy's Lane. but back of the immediate ancestors the senator had other ancestors who fought oa the American side in the Revolutionary war. He gets his Amer icanism from an original pure font.
 Taft Didn't Care About Wolves.
 Since William Howard Taft has been president of the United States there have been no articles on natural history written in the White House In the days when MT. Taft and Mr Roosevelt were close friends and when the legislative policies of one were he lieved to be absolutely the legislative policies of the other, the great "faunal naturalist" attempted to interest Mir Taft. who was then secretary of war Tn the subject of natural history
