"Let me tell you a story" said a
courtly man born in 1854 and not old.
when. came to Washington, that
was in 1875, an old lady used to come
here to talk with me. We would sit on
a bench in the shade of the lodge. She
was old, though sprightly and
vivacious, and there was charm in
her way of speaking, and in the eX-
preston Of her face and in her ges-
lures, which would be hard, if not i'm
possible to describe. Her hair was
white, but her eyes were bright and
merry, and her voice was clear and
musical. 1t was still the voice OF a
young woman.
1T was very easy to understand
that in her youth she had been wo-
man of exceptional beauty and charm
Of manner. We talked about many
things. especially about the old homes
and people Of Washington and George
town. She had had an extensive ac-
quaintancc and, although she told

in the bitterest social war that ever
broke out in Washington. That war
extended outside the bounds of So

the cabinet Of a President and played
i, part in thwarting the presidential
hopes of a foremost statesman and
gave the prize to his political rival.
