2 THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, APRIL. 21, 1907. Masons Vie With Daughters of Revolution Former Give Fair at National Capital, and Latter Meet in Annual Convention. WASHINGTON. April 15. (Special Correspondence.) Two distinct, though not necessarily opposing forces contested during the week for pos session of the National Capital. The de scent upon the city was made early Mon day morning when an army of handsome II gowned Daughters of the American Revolution, marched past the U. B. State, War and Navy Building, to Continental Hall and at 10-30 convened the Sixteenth annual Congress of their National soci ety. In the evening of the same day. Presi dent Roosevelt took out the tiny golden key with which he had set in motion the World's Fair at St. Louis and the Lewis and Clark Exposition at Portland, and lightly played upon the instrument which connected him with Convention Hall. Im mediately the fair for which the Masons here and their friends everywhere, have been for months preparing, was dsclared "opened for business." From that mo ment the battle raged. Now the Daugh ters would occupy the center of the stage of public attention, and now, the Masons had it. What the former gained by reason of theirs being a continued performance, the latter counterbalanced by announcing they would remain at the "old stand" as long as the public would pour shekels or even nickels Into their coffers. ' The women came in for thler share of the President's attention at -2:30 o'clock, on Friday, when, after his regular Cabi net meeting and luncheon, he received all of the members and delegates to the Coir tlnental Congress, and as many more District Daughters as could pass the re ceiving line in the allotted time. Mrs. Donald McLean, president-general of the D. A. R. made the presentations, with the assistance of the President's aide, intro ducing first members of the National Board and the following chairman of committees for the Congress. Mrs. Tru man H. Newberry, wife of the Assistant Secretary of the Navy; Mrs. Charlotte Emerson Main, president of the District Federation of Women's Clubs, and vice president general in charge of organiza tion for the D. A. K.; Mrs. Howard L. Hodgklns. State regent for the District of Columbia; Mrs. Alexander E. Patton, vice president general from Pennsylva m, and Mrs. Charles H. Terry, of Illi nois, chairman of Entertainment Com mittee. With Mrs. Terry were Mrs. J. B. Foraker. Mrs. J. P. Dolliver, of Iowa, Mrs. Stephen B. Elkins. of W. Va., Mrs. John R. Walker, of Missouri, Mrs. Rob ert L. Park of Georgia. Mrs. Mary S. Lockwood. and Mrs. Clement A. Griscom. Mrs. Mary Wood Swift, vice president general from California, who has become a familiar figure around the council board of the D. A. R-, Is conspicuous by her absence at this Congress, but fre quent are the inquiries for her, and re gret, expressed over her inability to reach Washington this year. The "Daughters" In Oregon sent Mrs. Mary Phelps Montgomery. Mrs. W. E. Thomas, Mrs. Edward W. Bingham. Mrs. Francis G. Bailey and Miss Eleanor Gile. The first to arrive from Wisconsin were: Mrs Frank E. Aiken, regent, of Mil waukee chapter: Mrs. William H. Crosby, of Racine; Mrs. Katella Haynes, Mrs. lone Gove and Mrs. Charles Gaspar, of Waukesha. Mrs. James A. Rounsaville and Mrs. T. C. Parker were early arri vals from Georgia. New York, the native state of the president-general, sent the largest delegation to the congress, headed bv Mrs. Henry W. Roberts, state re gent, and Mrs. Joseph Griswold Wentz, who Is a candidate to succeed Mrs. John ! Cunningham Hasen, as vice-president-general for the Empire State. Mrs. John Miller Horton, for many years regent and delegate from Buffalo, arrived In time to occupy a box for the benefit per formance of "On Parole." with . Mrs. Patton, of Pennsylvania, and Mrs. Tru man Newberry, of Michigan. Heralded only by the few, and not attended by many more, the annual meet ing of the National Academy of Sciences was none the less a marked event of the week. Inded, one might almost say, of the year, since the association Is the honor society of scientists of America and the annual meeting is the time for its members to announce any new discov ery in. any branch of science. The re tirement ' of Professor Alexander Agassis, of Cambridge, and Mr. Arnold" Hague, as president and home secretary, re spectively, and the election of new members, the maximum of five of whom may be chosen for a single year, gave additional interest to the recent gather ing. The three members voted in last sea son were on the programme. " They are Professors Benjamin O. Pierce and Jo slah Royce, of Cambridge, and William B. Scott, of Princeton. Next week Washington will welcome the American Architects' Association, which will be in session April 22, 23 and 24. An elaborate programme, including several social events, has been prepared, and the meeting will otherwise be notable. A banquet, which Is expected to result In the organization of a Woman's Uni versity Club. In Washington, was Re cently given at Rauscher'8. Over 250 alumnae of over 40 diferent colleges were seated at prettily decorated tables, and a Jolly good time they had, toasting In humorous vein the higher culture ana n dlviduallty of woman. A reception of half an hour preceded the banquet, at which Miss Emma J. Turner, of r rank lin and George Washington, was the master of ceremonies. Perhaps the- most distinguished guest was Miss Alice C. Fletcher, of Harvard, whose research In anthropology has won her international fame. Miss Fletcher responded to the toast, "The college woman at home and abroad," and described as unique the position of the college woman in America compared with that of her sister abroad. Among the other speakers were Miss Harriet Stratton Ellis, recently appointed dean of women at George Washington; Miss Frances G. Davenport, department of historical research, Carnegie Institu tion, Washington, and Mrs. Karl K. Kel- lerman. First on the programme was Miss Laeta Marlon Ramage, of Teach ers' College, who read a poem entitled, "The Mothers." According to plans recently set on foot, Washington will soon have a place of its own for grand opera. This because Mr. Osnur Hammerstein. of New York, be lieves the Nation's Capital should Have the beet o everything and should not be satisfied musically with the crumbs that fall from the rich Gothamite s table. Suit ing the action to the word, Mr. Hammer- stein has agreed to put in any money in excess of $200,000 for the completion of a suitable opera-house and music hall. Another patriotic and music-loving American, Mrs. "George R. Nash, of Mil waukee and New York, Is strongly advo eating the establishing of a National con-. servatory of music at the Capital, founded on the principle that governs National conservatories abroad, and which will fur nish American musicians and singers am ple opportunity to study in their own country. American music, as such, has already been too long neglected, and like the art of the land, must be tenderly nur tured If America Is to occupy a place In the artistic world comparable to her po sition as a world power politically and commeiyially. The most interesting bit of gossip in Washington's official and social circles for many a moon is that connected with announcement of the engagement of Miss Mary Patten to the Danish Minis ter, Constantln Brun. Although antici pated, the fait accompli created almost as much of a stir as did the engagement of Miss Patten's youngest sister, now the wife of Brigadier-General Henry C. Corhin. TJ. S. A. Mr. Brun Is the oldest Minister In point of service in Washington, having been on his present mission here since 1895. His bride-to-be Is the eldest daughter of the wealthy Mrs. Patten, who came hero from California and became a pioneer resident of upper Massachusetts avenue, and who now Includes as near neighbors the Thomas F. Walshes, Larz Andersons, Mrs. Townsend, Mrs. Philip Sheridan, Mrs. A. C. Barney, the artist and author and widowed millionairess, and Senator and Mrs. Flint, of California. Senator and Mrs. Bulkley, of Connecti cut, the latter formerly Miss Houghton, of San Francisco, will also belong to this colony another year, they having re leased the home of General and Mrs. Corbin. Among the newcomers will be noted Representative and Mrs. J. Van Vechten Olcott, of New York, for whom Mrs. Barney is building a new residence; Gardiner F. Williams, the South African diamond king, and Hon. Robert McCor mlck, ex-United States Ambassador to Russia. . Mrs. Thomas Carter, wife of the senior Senator from Montana, entertained a small but Interesting party at luncheon on Thursday. Her guests were her class mates at St. Mary's, Notre Dame, In diana. The table decorations were in the colors of their alma mater, blue and white, forget-me-nots and sweet peas being the flowers used. After the luncheon, Mrs. Carter and Mrs. Towne, wife of ex-Senator and ex-Representative Towne, of Michigan and New York, played duets as they used to at school. Others present were Mrs. Brett, wife of Major Brett, Mrs. Rivers, wife of Major Rivers, U. S. A.; the Misses Mary and 'Angela Swing, daughters of the late Judge Ewing of Ohio; Miss Gertrude Wallace, and Mrs. Armstrong, of Montana. The real social Hons of the week were the American Ambassador to Germany and Mrs. Charlemagne Tower, who spent some days here before going to Philadel phia for a visit of three weeks, and Baron d'Estournelles de Constan, the celebrated French statesman, for whom the first dinner at the White House since the re cent Illness of Archie Roosevelt, was giv en. Hon. Maud Pauncefoote, daughter of the late British Ambassador to this country, and at present the house guest of Mrs. Levi Z. Leiter, is also receiving much social attention from the friends of for mer days, when ber father was the dean of the diplomatic corps in America.

Yamhill and Sot- AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF AN OLD SUIT OF CLOTHES written in m4 lght years ago I was pronounced finished by the Columbia Woolen Mills Company. Careiully folded and packed In a neat box, I wa car ried home by a fastidious young man, whose name I discovered to be John. It waa Saturday night and I was .,,t.b. iin in rirlr rlnRnt after being brushed and made ready for the morrow's service. Of course, long before that time. my lire be gan, I grew on the back of a sheep that was one of a large told. I was caught, clipped, washed, sooured and packed to a big woollen mill. There I went through a lot of Intricate machinery; I was dyed and when I came, out I scarcely knew myself. 1 had become a handsontn d!ra of irrn v goods and was envied by all of ray comrades for my style and texture. I recollect riding for many miles in a big box. I felt the Jolting of the train and the bumping of the cars. Then, to my great Joy, I. was released from my horrible confinement; I was taken on a dray to the handsome display rooms of the Columbia Woollen Mills Company. I was placed on a shelf and then I heaved a sigh of satisfaction. "Now," I said to myself. "I will have a good, long rest." But no. The very next day I was yanked down off the shelf, unrolled and this young man. John, looked at me. I looked at him, too, and I rath.r liked him. I began to hope that he would Belect me. He passed on. there was such a bewildering assortment to consider, and I feared that he would forget me altogether. Of a sudden he came right back to where I waa and said to the salesman, "I think this is about the best pattern .you have. I will take it." I was tickled pretty near to death. I saw them measure John and noted how particular they were about it. I thought again, to myself, "They will certainly make me look fine on that young man.' Then I felt the keen scissors, as they cat me to measure; I felt the sharp prick of the needle,, as I was stitched together; I went through a big sowing machine. I noticed the fine quality of thread they were using to make me strong and the exceeding care the tailors exercised tn assembling the pieces and making me up into a suit readyto try on. One day jonn came into the store and I was fitted to him. I never felt bo Yirnnrl in nil m V lif T did my best to lelp the tailors, as I wanted to be the best looking suit of . clothes In Portland. I was doing all I could to help out. John was well pleased. I was hustled back to the tailor-shop; was ripped apart and put together again and manipulated until I was fin ished. The tailors looked at me with folded arms; the manager studied me with critical eye; many cus tomers came into the etore and admired me. But all were told that I belonged to another. So. eight years asm thin finrinsr. T was 1 v4rA tn John and he paid for me. The price was somewhere between $20 and 140. I never knew Just how much. I know that I was worth more than 40, if I was worth a cent. Well, the next day was Sunday. John arose early and stood looking at me as I bung In the closet. Then ne took me into the light, brushed off a (leek of dust and, after grooming himself to perfection, he put me on. He actually stood in front of that mirror for an hour, smiling at himself and grinning so much that I wu emba massed. At last the breakfast bell rang. With stately step, not in the least indicative of the fool ishness or a lew minutes before, he marched down to the table. Perhaps I ' am telline- secrets, but I cannot resist.. Every one complimented him upon his appearance; he went to church; more compliments. He visited friends in the afternoon; more compliments. He paid a few more visits in the evening and still more compliments. At the office, next morning, wherever ne went, it was tne same oia story, "jonn, oia Doy. x never saw a more becoming suit. Where did you get it?" Was I happy? Well. I should say I was. I went with John to functions of every kind. I traveled with him to distant places. Once I remember going to New York City with him. That's where I was when I was young. People there on Broadway, who knew John was from Portland, were surprised to see him wearing such up-to-date clothes. I helped John close up a big business deal in New York, also. i am not exactly worn out now, put i guess jonn fT has tired of .me. He has bought many a suit of 1 Fti 1 clothes of the Columbia Woollen Mills Company since I t T-1 I that- im and T am now n. hack numher. Rut T have company. After eight years, however, I guess John is going to pass me up. I stay on the hook most of the time. During the fishing season I usually accom pany John on outings.

It is proposed In the Grand Duchy of H'asse to tax bachelors. The lower house of the Hesaian Parliament has passed a meaaure for relieving state employes whose incomes do not exceed- $500 by a g-rant of from $40 to $60, in view of the dearness of food and high rents. But bachelors who have only them selves to keep are to receive only half the grant, although those unmarried men who maintain a home for their parents, relatives or adopted children will bo granted the full sum. The bill is popular because of the declining marriage and birth rate, the Hessians considering that It will act as a, cor rective, if a premium is thus put on marriage.
