committee much trouble.
In these days of many clubs
and organizations no one can
escape duty on this or that COM

one from promising to play bridge
on the same day and then can

Book clubs are satisfactory
only when everyone remembers to

There are many other seasonal

these are the family birthdays

to finish the unexpired term of the late
Andrieus A. Jones. An unusually virile
and successful Governor of New Mex
leo, the new Senator is distinguished
lawyer with home and offices in the
most progressive and well populated
city of the State. A native Of Chichua-
hua, old Mexico, the statesman first
came to the United States in 1870 to
pursue his studies in the ancient coll
lege of San Miguel at Santa Fe, the
most venerable seat of learning in the
Southwest. He decided to become a
citizen of the republic and selected Las
Vegas as his home. The new Senator
has been twice married and has large
family. Both his wives were of Mexi-
can descent, although natives of the
United States. The present Mrs. Lar
razola was before her marriage in 1892

Illinois Now May Claim
Constitutional Quota.
Illinois will have two Senators for
the first time since the passing Of the
lamented William B. Mckinley, the
successor Of that statesman having fall
ed to obtain his seat. Senator and Mrs.
Otis F. Glenn, though now listed as
coming from Chicago, are from the
flourishing township Of Murphysboro
and they are rather younger than
people are when they enter this sedate
and seasoned division of official and
social Washington. Mrs. Glenn be-
fore her marriage, which occurred in
Murphysboro, also the natal place of
the Senator, was Miss Anna Martin.
There are two children in their early
teens and while 1t is quite assured that
Mrs. Glenn will come to Washington to
see her husband take the oath of Office,
it is probable the children will continue
their studies in Chicago at least until
after the Christmas holidays.
