she would melt. She was so white they
could not understand it. and because they

her milky skin they thought of her as

Miss Peary has not spent a vacation
IN the polar regions since she was ten
years old. but two trips-one at that
age and one earlier-have served to
furnish her with a number of more in
teresting experiences than can be
credited to great many professional
g Sportsmen.
She tells them fully and frankly, her
big eyes-the color of blue moonlight
on distant snowy misunderstanding
with pleasure as the memories of her
childhood crowd one upon the other.
On the first trip that I remember

the chief victims of Washington petticoat
wars during the last generation. So
cially, they have also been the most
overworked women in official life. Dur
ing each social season they keep open
house once a week. when they receive
and serve refreshments to vast assem-
blages of callers. The cabinet wives
also receive with the Presidents wife at
all of the many formal White House
functions. On account of these many
social obligations they have hitherto been
excepted from returning calls in person.
except upon persons of higher official
rank. Usage has permitted them to re-
turn other calls by card only. In other
words, instead Of presenting themselves
in the drawing rooms Of callers of lower
social rank, they have sent their fiunkies
to the latterS' doors to leave their cards.
Unquestionably, the wives of the House
of Representatives rank below the wives
of the cabinet in the official order of
precedence according to which a mans
wife shares his official rank. No one
has disputed this social superiority of
cabinet wives over representatives wives,
nor have the latter presumed to demand
first calls of the former But it so befell
that some scribe, seeking a sensation,
raked up the old rule that cabinet women
should not return calls, in person, upon
their social interiors, and by comforting
the facts so aimed them at the women
of the House circle that the latter took
offense.
There are more new women in the House
circle this winter than within many
wears. Few OF the tried and tested social
leaders of the old House circle remained
in Washington. So the liveliest petticoat
war that Washington has seen in u dozen
years was brewed- Social war CORE

was the great Napoleon's warning TO
the wife of his ambassador departing for
Lisbon. The emperor had diplomatic
woes generally in mind when he thus adj
monshed the Duchess d'Abrantes. And
that sensitiveness which he feared in hts
day is ever dreaded by our State Depart
ment when II makes out the schedule OF
precedence for all executive functions or
an official nature.
SO the diplomatic corps causes more
anxiety than any body of officials rest
dent in Washington. Ambassadors and
their wives refuse invitations Ito meet
any one In Washington lower than the
President and Vice President or their
wives, and they make first calls only at
these two households and that of the
Secretary of State. For some time this
amhassadorial prerogative Was disputed
by the late Chief Justice Fuller. but
when the point was referred TO Mrs
Roosevelt she ruled in favor Of the ann
bassadors.
A pretty fuss was brewed some years
ago by an official dinner host who con
fcrred the seat of honor upon the British
envoy, although tho Spanish represent
ativc, who was dean of the diplomats
corps was present The Spaniard pro
tested forthwith. but our Secretary OF
State. who was luckily present. restored
the entente cord,alc by inducing his
hostess to yield the honor place to the
dean-always so-called because he is the
foreign representative Of longest service
in Washington.
A row between the cabinet and diplo-
matte corps broke out during the so
cially chaotic regime of Jackson. one Of
whose cabinet members outraged the
delicate sensibilties of the French min
lister, Count Serrurier. by disputing hlS
place in a state dinner procession. Ana
the upshot of il all was that the count

Mr.. Mckinley, one Of our few Presidents
who had not suspected his Vice Presi-
dent-reversed the ruling on the ground
that the offices of President and Vice
President were inseparable. and that our
Vice President bears the same relative
rank as the heir apparent to foreign
throne.
