while the brain is shut and, except in a
few instances, he must avoid learning
by rote.
Attention should not be concentrated
on q book for too long a time without

draw some OF the blood OF your brain into

The other method of acquiring knowl-

conscious observation on ones subcon-

most OF the endless details of knowledge
are supplied, and without 1t we could not
understand anything worth learning.

Who's Who in
Washington Society.

There is the Army and Navy set, the
makeup of which needs no explanation.
There is the "old Washington set''--
sometimes called the "cave dwellers'--
representing old families long resident In
Washington.
Finally, there Is the fashionable
crowd" composed wholly Of rich (mainly
new-rich) people and the hansers-on of
the dch--plus the diplomats. who are
beloved by the rich because certain
social prestige envelops them. and who
seek the rich for the sake of being gor-
geously entertained and otherwise
amused.
The boundaries between set and set
are not absolutely and definitely fixed;
they merge into one another to some
extent Thus there are some members
Of Congress, a few, who belong TO the
fashionable crowd. But this is because
they have wealth and are willing 10
entertain; the circumstance that they are
In Congress (even though Senators) does
not help them materially In social way.
Many is the Congressman's wife who
comes TO Washington with the confident
expectation Oh btlub ulbh-hySf VI Adou-
ion" at the capital, only to suffer bitter
disappointment.
The fashionable crowd Is very new (as
at present constituted. and leaving the
diplomats out OF question:, but none the
less exclusive on that account II has

multi-millionaire people who having dis

Mrs Galt's Modest Dwelling at No
1908 Twentieth Street,
Washington.

Y TOTHING since the news that Fort
M Sumter had been fred on has at
- tracted so much attention In Wash
sngton society as the romance Of the Pres
ident and Mrs. Gait. Everywhere It is
the absorbing topic of conversation. but
what is said depends upon who is doing
the talking.
II you will turn the pages Of the Social
Register of washington you will search
in vain for the name Of Mrs. Norman
Gait, and yet in the next edition OF the
Social Register this same woman will be
recognized as the leader of Washington
societyI
Those who have looked superciliously
over their lorgnettes in years past and
said: MRS Gait? Er, tradesman's
widow, isn't she? We do not know her."
are in an embarrassing situation. Wash.
ington society had no interest in Mrs.
Calf To certain social elements It is
an unpardonable crime to be engaged in
retail trade. Mr.. Gait, the jeweler, was
not entitled TO social position. His widow
could not obtain social recognition, espe-
cially since it could not be denied that
she still retained an interest in the
jeweiry shop.
But the magic touch Of the occupant OF
the White House has instantly changed
all this. The question Is, Will the new
mistress OF the White House take means
to punish the social leaders who ignored
her by the distribution OF painful snubs?
That is what washington is waiting to
see.
Undoubtedly Mrs. Gait, as FIRST lady
in the land" will be in position to OBJ
tain an ample revenge II she wants 1t.
For the mistress of the White House
leads Washington society. Her decision
merely to withhold invitations from this
woman or that, where luncheons and
other exclusive entertainments are con-
cerned. would be a deadly blow to the
social prestige OF the individuals affected.
Nobody except Mrs. Calf knows what
Is going to happen. But. in order that the
whole situation may be understood, II is
necessary to explain. or at least to give
an outline Of, the rather peculiar social
conditions that govern at the capital.
There is, to begin with, the fairly ex-
tenaIve and numerous coterie known as
"officiar' society. It includes Members
Of Congress land their womenfolk), mem
bers Of the Cabinet, and all other persons
in high employment under the Govern
ment.

for the acquisition OF knowledge should
never cease until we are dead.
Real interest in what he wishes to
study Is, DR.. Dearborn finds, the first
step IN the making OF q good student.
Once this interest is really acquired you
learn almost rehexly and without any
great efrort, because It is a pleasure to
you.
Whatever you have an interest In you
enjoy doing. and that is the reason why
well-adapted work In the long run is the
most certain, II not the greatest, of hu-
man delights. Many people think Of
work as a necessary something disagree
able rather than agreeable. but 1t is GER
tainly one of life's most permanent and
substantial satisfaetions and delights. All
great. useful and original work ordinarily
is done under conditions such that the
work is enjoyable, there being always
enough interest about II to make II
pleasurable. II is under these conditions.
furthermore and generally under these
alone, that the largest amount of energy
Is expended.
There are two efficient ways Of &C
quiring knowledge-the conscious and

Embarrassing Position of Social Leader

wife. He came of an excellent Virginia
family. His father (who started the
business in Washington had married q
Virginia lady of good family, his cousin.
This elder Mrs. Gait, on coming to Wash
ington, made the unpleasant discovery
that, Notwithstanding the undeniabIy good
birth of herself and her husband she
could not hope to be received" in society
because the latter had a cast-iron rule
excluding persons engaged in retail trade
Like sensible woman, she made no at
tempt TO combat the restriction. and con-
tented herself with the company OF the
friends, not few, whom she liked end
who liked her.
The situation repeated itself rather
curiously in the next generation. The
elder Mrs. Galt's son, Norman (succeed-
ing with the brother to the jewelry bust
ness) married a young lady of old vir-
ginia family, Miss Edith Bolling--the
same lady whose engagement to Presi-
dent Wilson has startled Washington
society. He brought her to Washington;
she found herself confronted with exact
ly the same problem that her husbands
mother had encountered, and she solved
It in the same way. She made no at
tempt to "go out" In society, but was
satisfied with the companionship of her
own little coterie of Southern women of
good birth who recognized her a. one Of
themselves, shop or no shop.

The most snobbishly exclusive women
win forget their horror of "tradesman's

Please take note of how the matter ex-
actly stood. Mrs. Norman Galt--destined,

first lady of the land--found herself. as

fetal set, because her husband held no

son. She was impossible from the view
point OF the fashionable crowd because
she had not money enough. Besides, she
was "in trade" which. particularly in the
eyes OF the old Washington set, placed
her in the undesirable middle class, with
whom "one does not exchange vista"
In word, Mrs. Norman Gait was "out
Of It" entirely and hopeIessly. Her posi-
tion was especially peculiar because, II
she had come TO Washington unmarried,
as Edith Boiling, descendant OF one of
the very best families of the Old Domin-
ion and related by cousinship 10 all the
really truly +. +. VS., she would have
been received as q matter of course and
with open arms by the most exclusive
and conservative "cave-dwellers." AS
a tradesman's wife, however. she was un-
acceptable.
Virginia people. to-day as in former
times, are aristocratic and exclusive
But. since the civil war. and owing to
the loss OF wealth thereby caused, most
OF them have been obliged to work for
a living. In that state It is not account
ed infra-dig. TO keep q shop. Indeed,
many scions Of the best and oldest fami-
lies are employed in the stores OF cities
and towns as clerks. and none the less is
thought OF them on that account from
q social point of view.
In Washington It is different. Here
retail trade is not tolerated socially. II It
represents a means OF livelihood for the
present and immediate generation. For
a past generation, even though it be the
one directly preceding, II is politely iga
nored. Thus, for example, the Letters
are among the leaders OF fashion at the
capital Notwithstanding the fact that
"Joe" Letters father, Levi q. made his
fortune as a retail shopkeeper in Chi
cago.
It has been said that Mrs. Gait comes
of an old Virginia family; but this does
not tuiiy express the taCt IN Hef case.
She is a lineal descendant of the oldest
OF all American families, being the great
neutrality-suspicious. great -granddaugh-
ter OF the princess Pocahontas, whose
father was Powhatan. ruler OF all the
tribes OF Virginia at the time when the
first white people arrived in that part
of the country.
Powhatan in those days was military
and civil governor OF what is now the
District OF Columbia. But his lineal de-
scendant, Edith Boiling Gait, has not
found herself acceptable TO the persons of
more or less dubious immediate ancestry
who largely compose the fashionable
society Of Washington at the present time.
II proof OF this fact be wanted. look
at the Social Register OF Washington.
Her name will not be found in II, as al
ready mentioned. Not only is Mrs. Gait
not Of Washington's 400; she has not
been rated even among the more distin-
guished 4.O00I-this being approximately
the number of names included In the
Social Register.
But now II is going 70 be different II

mistress OF the White
House, have plenty of
opportunity to return
the snubs with interest,
and to infict heart
burnings upon those
who have behaved dis
agreeably toward her.
II will be for her to
wave the wand Of So
cial authority, and to
say Who is Who.
The chances are,
however. that she will
do nothing Of til Q
kind. Those who en-
Joy the privilege Of her
intimacy declare that
she is the most ami

Of women, and the like
lihood seems TO be
that she will let by
cones be bygones. treat
everybody as nicely as
she can, and set at
naught all fears of her
adopting measures of
social retaliation.
