THE PRESIDENTS SECRETARY.
He Must Be a Diplomat, and His Posi-
ton 10 Not an Easy One.

The duties Of u secretary to a presi-
dent of the United States are not Goa
sidered at all secondary in importance
to those of IA cabinet officer. He is the
man who first meets the thousands of
visitors to the president. He must know
just whom the president desires to see
or should see without bothering the
president. These visitors come from
all parts of the United States on all
sorts OF missions, some important, but
mostly Of very trivial character. and
they come bringing all sorts Of letters
Of Introduction from all sorts of people.
Were the president to see all these
folks he would not have time for any
thing else, and the secretary must win
now the wheat from the chaff and
send the chaff away actually delighted
because they haven't seen the presi-
dent. The presidents secretary is a
buffer between his chief and the Unit
ed States senators and members of the
house Of representatives with myriad
axes to grind. He must be diplomat
with the most famous diplomats Of the
world when they call at the White
House to take up the time of the presi-
dent. Indeed, 1t has been often said in
Washington that the presidents secre-
tary must be us much Of a diplomat as
any member Of the diplomatic corps if
he is to be OF substantial value to his
chief.
Again, the secretary must have rela-
tons with the hundreds of correspond
ents who represent the great newspa-
pers Of the country. Public opinion is
nodded by these correspondents, and
they are keenly affirmative in their
characteristics. In their ambition to
serve their newspapers they always
know exactly why they visit the White
House. Frequently matters are not
exactly ripe, and it is one duty Of the
presidents secretary to parry the Incl
sive and probing questions of these
alert correspondents. This must be
done smilingly and in good form.
Then, too. invariably the presidents
secretary accompanies his chief on
trips through the country. Hundreds
Of details come up on these tours of
which the president is not expected to
know, but it is the absolute duty of his
secretary to be familiar with them

THE EVENING STORY.
ITALIAN LlLACS.
Copyright. 1913, by W. Werner.)

In Westmore the name of Currence
Clay was instantly associated in every
body's mind with italian lilacs, especially
on May morning. For in May the lilacs
came to rich, odorous bloom and lasted
amazingly. You could not walk past
Caper street without getting Whit of
their delightful fragrance. That fragrance
permeated the air as delicately yet de-
cidedly as the influence Of Currence per-
meated the languid atmosphere OF her
particular locality.
The lilac tree was very old. 1t had
been planted when the house was built,
in the bride days Of Currences mother.
It had grown strong and high: its trunk
was thick and solid, and 1t dropped it's
long branches like protecting arms over
the quaint porch. It's Towering had the
purity of snow, the delicacy Of lace. It
was the one valuable, luxurious thing
about the little old house and in Cur
rences life.
Currence had lived in that house all
her days, and she was now fifty years
old. She had never been beautiful, but
age had given her a curious charm. She

was girlishly Immature of shape. and her
faded face under its gray hair was very
gentle and sweet. She showed that she
had lived with lovely thoughts all her
life: She also showed that she had lived
with great sorrow.
Currence'S sorrow had come of her
nrst ana only romance. She was eighteen
when 1t happened, and Susannah, her Sis
ter was nineteen. Susannah was won
derful young beauty. The gift had come
cestry. She was dark. flashing, opulent
IN color and vigor. She put out Cur
rence's pale grace as the sun puts out a
candle: and she gloried In it. 1t CHANGED
when Hugh Lent came that springtime
to Westmore. Hugh Lent was the ia
vored grandson OF Mrs. Landford-Lent,
and 1t was generally surmised that. since
he had just come into his money. he was
looking for wife. Mrs. Landford-Lent
introduced him to all the nice girls, and
among them was little Currence Clay.
There were vastly prettier girls and
smarter girls than Currence, but some
how Hugh Lent liked her best. And Cur
renee liked him-oh, SO much! When she
sat with him on the low, white steps
under the lilac tree. which breathed in
waves OF scent, and saw the moonlight
In his eyes and heard his voice she was
80 happy that she was afraid. She was
under the magic spell of her youth, and
her first lover and the springtime.
One night as they sat thus the gate
opened and Susannah came out of the
shadow into the white moonlight, facing
them. She had come home unannounced.
