 Washington, January 26.-(SpeciaLj Miss Alice Robertson, congresswoman from Oklahoma, is very wise and practical, and her stock with the pro- fesslonal female politician daily sl1mps.
 She is not the petite and dainty bi. of feminity that Miss Jeanette Ram kin illustrated, but it is highly prob able that in time of stress she win not resort to tears, and, finally, will remain much longer in Congress.
 Miss Robertson has recently added additional intensity to the disfavor with whicn she is regarded by the suffragettes. She has named a man to be her plivate secretary. By such action, she has given indication of her conviction that, after all man is of some practical use in the world. The professional women of Washington, though admitting that a member of Congress has right to name any one secretary, think that she should have been "patriotic'' sufficiently 10 give employment to woman. It is held that Miss Robertson has taken issue with the professional politicians in their conclusions that women, in any capacity, can perform as accept- ably as men.
