scratched his head and thought a
minute. and then said: Mr.. Tom,

matter of good faith, the Senator did
not tell this story apropos of his rea-
son for single blessedness.
Are congressman Sensitive
About Their Ages?
The Congressional Directory, by the
way. shows that men are as sensitive
! about telling their ages as women.
for there are number of both Sem
ators and Representatives who skip
that fact in their biographies. The
senior Senator from Tennessee tells
that he is lawyer, bachelor and
Presbyterian. He is very proud of his
university degrees. of which he has
many. and politics are his meter. but
he does not mention his age. The
handsome Senator Guffey of Pennsyl-
vania. another of those likely
bachelors, has perhaps the shortest
biography in the entire directory. He
says he is a Democrat and bachelor
no age given-the two bits of in
formation of which he seems very
proud. Perhaps had he not been a
politician he would have devoted his
life to seeing how the other half

Senator David Ignatius Walsh, that
distinguished looking bachelor, would

her seat in the House-the clever,
good looking Mrs Jenckes from
Indiana-who knows her farm stuff
and what the coal miners want-all
these temptations are somewhat re-
moved. OF course, there are bachelors
IN the lower chamber, too, and gay
vidowers as we'll. But the plums are
higher up-and there is something
quite distingue in "Mr. Senator"
Senators Russell and
Holt Are Eligibles.
Far be it from this seemingly
matrimonial bureau to overlook those
two young blades in the Senate. who
are outstanding for several reasons,
Senator Dick Russell of Georgia and
the baby Senator, Rush Holt of West
Virginia. Then those distinguished
widowers from North Carolina, Texas,
New York and Kansas, who are in the
running when it comes to assembling
matrimonial prospects.
