While the newspapers throughout
q the United States were busily an
npuncing the warlike operations OF
Gen Sancho Fernandez here, there
I and elsewhere that December, it was
fact that the revolutionary dictator
sof Mexico was really in Washington,
ID where he had been peremptor-
ily Summoned by the president.
His conference at the capitol was
short and very much to the point. It
was pointed out with painful decisive
ness 20 the Senior General Fernandez
that hereinafter he would have to
make his ragged army respect the
rights Of u. s. A.
The pill that General Fernandez was
thus made to swallow was not sugar
coated but il unquestionably did him
good. He went down the White House
steps that day before Christmas a
eEdler and q wiser man. However
lie dictator Of Mexico was philoso-
sNNef
General Fernandez mufled his face
deep ID the soft warmth Of his fur
seollaed greatcoat, and started of
down the avenue.
and by he came to the business
siatttct where throngs Of last-minute
3 choppers were bustling about. Snow
had begun to fall heavily great feecy
fakes that filed the whole air and,

first the dictator scowled; then
ssmiled queerly and approached the
ragged waif at the newsstand. She
was blue with cold and a-shiver be-
meath scanty rags. Below an old
shawl, her thin, prematurely-aged face
looked wan and pinched.

ladies were entertained at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. Frank Jackson in honor
of Mrs. George Gage. Mrs. Gage was in
vited to the Jackson home supposedly to

archway between the parlor and dining
room and before her on a small table she

the reading of which caused much amuse-
ment and proved the composers to be
most original.
Across the archway was suspended a
large wedding bell made from hydrangea
blossoms, the tongue of the bell being a
large red gladiola, and the posts of the
archway were twined with hydrangea
blossoms, while at the base of the posts
were large bouquets of red gladiolas.
