The first week of th new year opened axid dosed auspiciously, al txMt, tlie two I arc- est events we ot a distinctly political nature. Indeed, from now until the de parture or posslblo Ptraldnntlal ca.ndl dates from the city, following th ad- joummeni CoiM, on March (, the rb and flow of political hopes and Con gressional liappeninga will roreshad- owefl or reflected in the drawing-room, or better yet in the dining-room of the popular official hoateas. ' President an3 Mrs, Roosevelt started the political dinner fad by entertaining It honor of Speaker Oannon and Mlm Cannon, the occasion telng regarded with more significance because never More had a President so honored a. Speaker ' of the Qrlouso or Representatives. -A. nice question ot social precedence also loomed up in this connection. Speakers from time Immemorial having- contended that they outranked Cabinet o IT leers or mem- tors ot the Federal Supreme court, no, .authoritative decision has ever ibeen ren dered In the matter, but society Is now Inclined to the belief that the Presidenfs went courtesy to Speaker Cannon will jro far toward precedence ove Supreme court. jro far toward establishing- in fa claim to precedence over the Cabinet and the Following the exam-pie ot their chiefs.

The re suit was a show of hospitality not Sft i n Washlnirton for many a day. The house, a stately nrayntone building1 facing- rRTRpt gOjUHrC, was brilliantly lighted and decorated for the occasion.

The latter, who has but recently recovered from an attacK of ft rip, looked very handsome In an American-made grown of prevailing-! y light material trimmed with rare lace and few furbelows. Together they, vera a pic- ture of health and vigor, far too young lonklrifr to bear the honor of urandpar enthood that lias recently come to them. Here, there and everywhere among the nests were Jalrs. Tlmnioni, the Vice J'resident's daughter, and his daughters- .In-law, Mesdames Warren ana rceder- !ok W. Fair-banks, who came for the holi days and remained over for the reception. In the dtnlnsr-rooin where a 1 light col- latlOIl V3S Served, presided several Sena torial hostesses, chosen without, refer ence to their iausosna's political creed. IW. tO H OUtaone at their own game, unnator and Mrs. Xtaaker are planning n evening reception for a date in the asjear future. when everyone with the Jjhvflt Of H acquaintance with Ohio's pop- uflr Senator and hll still BUM popular wife, is expected, to cross the threshold, of their home. Secretary and Mrs. Taft will be next m tina for a We affair on the same lines as that iclven by them last year In honor of 2V1 r. and Mrs. NU-hola IiiKWorth and the rest of the Philippine party. Secretary and Mrs. Siiaw will marK mcir coin; out of the Cabinet circle, by a func tion In honor of the low-arts in and out of t'onKress; the Cannons will Invite tout le' monclO tO meet the Illlnotaans, and inci dentally everyone present will be given ft first-class opportunity to note how well the daughter of the house has discharged Jier duties at an official hostess. Thus iraln. will "coming events cast their shadows -before." While these large affairs are good from a nodal standpoint, personal preference Is xtill given to little dinner made up of eljrlit or ten guests, between whom there Is a chance for real conversation, not poe- aible at more formal functions. Bridge or music usually follows these dinners, and longer nleeves are irrowing in favor, as an adjunct to the slightly decollete dresses adopted for tjieee occasions by the ladle. Scarfs of radium silk or nious- seltne de Role are bIho worn, and Inva riably con trast in color 'with - "t lie gown. With which ihey are In evidence. Soeaklnjr of clothes remainda me of the mar Iced revival ot the empire style which. with innumerable variations has been seen lit every smart affair this season. Artl- tidal flowers and an occasional bunch of wonderfully made fruit are runninfr their little course as the favored decoration of i really handsome gown. With a costume so decorated, milady of the hour uses the corresponding perfume, violet water with violets, rose water with roses, and 50 on ad infinitum.

Mra. Roosevelt and Mrs. Fairbanks each, have a robe of beau tiful design, - and the latter -has also a miniature set ol appliances for making the lace, which she received as a gift from Lady Aberdeen, at the time others In her circle received a elmllar present. Kxplainlng the various contrivances makes an entertaining way of passing the time on official days "at home." To 1e thougrht modish by the younger iet, one must boast an afternoon or even- Ing- frock, copied from an old master. The portraits of OalnsborouKb, Reynolds svnd Sir Jreter Xely, which so long- have been th recoenlzel Inspiration tor fancy ball costumes, are now being1 studied for modes for frowns to he worn on more prosaic occasions.

But all they undertook to do was well done, as his farm today stands witness. The house la comfortable. There U a large orchard and a large srarden plot. This farm he sold about a year aa-o and he lias been living for some months near Portland, but bia heart rtill yearns for the old familiar scenes and He would fain :ome back to a small ranch he owns near Kalama. He relates many amusing experiences that befell him on account of his srreat aure. 1-fe waa waiting:, one chilly morn ing, for a street car. when an elderly man also entered the waiting Station, leaning- Heavily on His cane.

I'll bet I Have a daughter bactc in Iowa every bit as old as you are. She's 63."' That's Just my age exactly." replied the man, as he started to take the ap proaching car. Lately Mr. Lee had the County Clerk and others aruessingr his afire when he w-ri to tiie uourtnouse to have a deed recorded. They guessed 65 to 6S the age he most surely represents.
