AS TO SOCIETY IN THE
CITY OF WASHINGTON

All American cities are Loyalty glad
to yield the palm to Washington in
point of being. if not the most repre-
sentative American city, then the most
delightful. as it is pronounced by a re-
cent article in the Fortnightly Review.
Yet since the representatives of all the
United States are found in Washington
perhaps the real secret ~ef the delight

A one-sided representa-
tion OF an individual or of a nation is
never true. Americanism must mean
all the things which are found desir-
able in Washington, as well as the
things for which other cities stand.

by the atmosphere which ENJOYS from
abroad bring with them, it is in this,

idea seems to be that an equality Of the
sexes exists in Washington society as
in no other American community,
where for so long woman has had the
lead socially. while man has been lab
sorbed in business. In Washington
there is leisure, and men are not shy
Of being cultured and polished and ex-
hibiting the various social graces
which by tradition have seemed rather
beneath the sterner dignities of Amer
lean manhood.
This writer's point Of view is limited
in the following: There is a flavor and
a distinction about Washington society
that no other American city quite
commands. 1t surpasses the society OF
New York and Boston and Philadelphia
and Chicago in that quality which sep
arates French literature from the lit
erature of all other lands: the quality,
above all things, Of agreeableness.

Decrease About 20 Per Cent in a Year,
But Prices Rise.
Chicago Cor. New York Times: All
retail butchers in this city were mott
fed by the Chicago packers today that
the price of beef would be advanced
from one-half to / cent a pound in
the next few days. the price of meat
is to be increased correspondingly in
New York, Philadelphia, and Boston.
John T. Russell, president of tho
United Master Butchers association
of America, confirming the announce
ment tonight, said the proposed adj
vance would be communicated to the
retail butchers throughout the coun-
try, and within a short time the con-
sumers everywhere would feel the eff
fects of the increase. The scarcity of
cattle and the action of commission
merchants in putting UP the price of
beef on the hoof are said to be re-
sponsible for the move on the part of
the packers.
"The commission dealer" said Mr..
Russell, sis trying to stand in with
the farmer. The retail butcher has
been endeavoring to keep the price of
meat down. 1t is to his interest to do
this, because he deals with the con
sumner, while the commission man,
sumner, lis looking out for his
customers.
During the past year the meat
sales have fallen off from IS t 40
per cent. This is due to the fact that
people will not stand the high prices
for which the middle man Is re-
ssponsible.,'
