WASHINGTON mm.
The long standing occupation of one
of the White House clerks is gone.
Back through several Administrations
it has been the duty of one man to read
the newspapers for the President. This
man read and clipped and pasted. He
filled scrap books with such articles,
on the Administration as he thought
the President might want to see at
some future time. But. besides this,
he read with reference to what might
be of immediate concern_to the Presi-
dent. When he found anything he
thought the President would like to see
:Lt once, he clipped it and pasted it on
a. sheet with the date and the name
of the paper. These sheets were laid
before the President as regularly as
the mail requiring his attention. The
reader for the President had a place on
the White House staff as far back as
Grant’s time if not earlier. He went
through all of the principal papers of
the country. It was in this way that
Mrs. Grant saw the beautiful tribute
to her daughter at the time of the Sar—
toris wedding, written by the late John
N. Edwards of Missouri, which she
acknowledged gracefully as the expres-
sion which touched her most deeply.
The reader for the President is a news—
paper man. and believes he has a bet-
ter way to accomplish the same pur-
pose. Furthermore, the President has
a select number of newspapers which
he prefers to go through himself.
DIl‘s. Secretary Gage. _
Mrs. Lyman J. Cage is fond of home
life and simplicity. The erstwhile Gage
house in Chicago was essentially an
old-fashioned homestead. Not that it
lost anything by not being modern and
smart. Nothing yet has been discov~
ered finer than a suite of apartments
with southern exposure, wide veran—
das and broad lawn. Inside'all was
quiet in color and appointments, and
most refreshing, even to the admirers
of roceco.

MRS. GAGE.
Mrs. Gage’s hospitality was generous,
simple and dignified. Her surround~
ings in W'ashington show her taste to
be the best, and she has already dem-
onstrated her ability to keep the set
pace in that city of large, lavish and
continuous entertainments.
The Cabinet set is, of course, the cen-
tre of the social world of Washington,
and among all the hostesses in the
group there is none more popular than
Mrs. Gage whose reputation as a host-
eSS has followed her to the national -
capital. 5
Gun Foundries and Peace. ,
When Benjamin Harrison was Pres!
ident he was asked to address the ecu-
menical conference of the Methodist
Church. Delegates were present from
all parts of the world. What he said'
mediate occasion, and is worth recall-
ing in connection with the voting by
Congress of $50,000,000 for national de-
fense. President Harrison said: ‘
“It is a, curious incident that some
days ago, and before I was aware of
the theme or the occasion we have here
this morning I had appointed this af-
ternoon to visit the great gun foundry
of the United States at the navy yard.
These things have come in their regu-
lar sequence. I am here at this arbi-
tration meeting before I go to the gun
factory. This subject is one that has
long attracted the attention and I think
I may say has, perhaps, as greatly at-
tracted the attention, interest and ad-
herence of the United States as that
of any other Christian power in the
world. Let me say simply this: That
for myself—temporarily in a. place of
influence in this country—and much
more for be great body of its citizen-
ship, I express the desire of America
for peace with the whole world. It
would have been vain to suggest the
pulling down of block houses or fam-
ily disarmament to the settlers on a
hostile Indian frontier. They would
have told you rightly that the condi-
tions were not ripe. And so it may be,
and probably is true, that a full appli-
cation of the principle is not presently
possible, the devil still being un-
chained. We will have our gun foun-
dries, and possibly will best promote
the settlement of international dis-
putes by arbitration, by having it un-
derstood that if the appeal to a fiercer
tribunal we shall not be out of the de-
bate. It is for a Christian sentiment,
manifesting itself in a nation, to re-
move forever such causes of dispute;
and then what remains will be the
easy subject of adjustment by fair in-
ternational arbitration. But I had not
intended to enter into a discussion of
this great theme, for by the setting
forth of which you have appointed
those who have given it special atten-
tion.” SENATOR.
Had Done Bur Share.
“What have you ever done for the
betterment of mankind?" asked the
Icornful female person.
"Me?" answered the plump and
widowly looking one. "I have been a
better half to no less than three of
'em."—-Indianapolil Journal. ‘ ‘-

NEW YORK FASHIONS.
With the advance of warm weathei
every body feels a desire to throw oil
the heavy winter wraps and furs and
don some garment of lighter weight.
The styles in capes and jackets for
early spring wear are very fetching.
The Russian blouse has been relegated
to the background although the jacket
with slightly pouched front and tighl
fitting back and sides is still with u:
and is especially becoming to the slen-
der woman. The coat-bodies which
may be worn without an extra wrap is
simply invaluable in warm weather,
and can be supplemented when neces-
sary by a fur tie or feather boa. An
exceedingly dressy coat is of green vel-
vet, and when worn with a skirt 0]
green cloth or serge, makes a smart
afternoon toilette, and admits of varia-
tion if made with a. separate vest.
A striking coat for Spring wear
which may be worn open or closed, 01
practically open, is of dark green cloth
When quite open the fronts are turned
back, and the facing of green velvet,
edged with guipure insertion, forms re-
vers all down. while the square revera
fall over the sleeves. A full jabot oi
lace is worn, with cascade running
down in a point to the waist. The hai
to accompany this coat is of rough
straw, with full crown, and trimmed
on the left side with three standing
tips. A bunch of violets rest on the
hair.
A handsome tailor made gown oi
grey faced . cloth is stitched and
trimmed with pipings of velvet of a
darker shade. The old-fashioned pipe
ings have been revived and are par-
ticularly effective used on pale cloth
gowns. The skirt of this gown fits
perfectly close over the hips, but
flares slightly at the back, being de-
void however of the dust-gathering
train which promises to be in vogue so
much the coming season. The natty
jacket is made quite plain, with the
exception of the piping of velvet on
the small revers. The slashed Medici
collar is simply stitched. Coat sleeves
are tight fitting with a little fulness at
the top. ‘
Capes are less fussy and cosy looking,
suggesting warmer days.
A new model is in black brocaded
silk, the back full, in cape form show-
ing a yoke above; the front short and
drawn into the figure like a bolero and
fastening down over a vest of soft silk.
The whole is trimmed with fine cream
insertion, and lined throughout with
rose colored silk.
This is the most difllcult time of the
year to predict the fashions in millin-
ery, although many striking styles are
shown. ,As the pompadour style of
wearing the hair is still so fashionable
many modifications of the Napoleon
models will be seen. The large hat
with flaring brim will not be seen, but
tulle and net promises to be very pop-
ular and flowers in many cases will
constitute the sole trimming of the
fashionable hat. ,
The shape of a first hat should not
be so strange that it is remember-
ed when once seen. So we are face
to face with the fact that a first hat
must be much like those we are ac-[
customed to seeing. .Not turned or
twisted fantastically at intervals, that
18.
or medium brim, not too high or
aggressive as to crown and trim-
ming. An allowable departure from
the current in favor of the fashion-
able is this year’s brim on some hats,
which turns up at the back and then
over for an inch. The cachepeigne.
thus, is less conspicuous.
I saw one first hat which was of
black Yeddo (soft, coarse, pliable)
straw, with two black wings, put on
V~shape in front, a. cut-steel orna-
ment between and narrow upstanding
loops of black velvet. Half a dozen
bunches of black violets buried the
crown. At the back, for a cache.
peigne—that is, a. depth of trimming
so that there was no break between
hat and hair line—there were two
rosettes of stout net, the fulling wir-
ed.
Another first hat was of black Yed-
do straw, rather broad brim. crown
obscured with great pompous of
white taffeta silk, wired and placed
one at either side of me crown. A
few black wings gave the modish
contour. which involves considerable
breadth and height.
Other first hats have facings of
some bright color and the hat top all
black.
That of the drawing is black lib-
erty silk, shirred over white. The
flowers—notice that they are compact
-—are violets, with green leaves. The
hat is faced with white straw and the
body of it is black.
Dress high shoes, as usual, are of
patent leather with cloth top. But
the shape is as nearly perfect as the
shoemaker's art has become. The
heel not exactly military? “No. nor
yet French. In other times,” with a
knowing look, “we should call it
“What do you name it now?"
