Senator Shafroth, of Colorado, de-
clared Secretary Bryan had assured
him he did not desire an increase of
salary.
Secretary Bryan's home in Washing
ton is the old mansion Of Gen. john
A. Logan, for which he pays $4,000 a
year. Former Secretary Knox, who
rented house in diplomatic row on
fashionable K street, paid $1,000 a
year, though during his term of office
he received but a salary of $4,000, be-
cause the salary of secretary of state
was increased while he was a sena-
tor and he was debarred from enjoying
the increase by constitutional pro-
vision.
The historians of Washington point
out that many of Mr.. Bryan's predec-
essors in comparatively recent years
were wealthy. John Hays house, on
the Avenue of the Presidents, was one
of the show places of Washington

that when you look in the glass and

The principal thing to say in the mat

black velvet which has held the favor
for some time past and promises to

however. is the variety OF shapes and
