If tho to only I could find her for mother-hunger s on me; I want to see and touch her, know her closo beside; want to put my head In the hollow of her shoulder, I want to feel her love me as she did before she died. "In all the world Is nothing, love of husband or of children. In all the world Is nothing that can soothe me or can stir ilko the memory of her fragile hand on which the ring was slipping The hand that wakes my longing at the very thought of her.

Guests tell of wonderfully toothsome sandwiches and palatable confections, and from tlnio to time crisp bon mots which have had their inception over a cup of tea at tho Longworth home find their way into the current conversa tion of tho day. Mrs. William Sheffield Cowles, wife of Rear Admiral Cowles and sister to the President, holds her own as a dispenser of the ever-cheering cup, Mrs. Cowles, who has the vivacity of a debutante, with the ex perience of a woman of the world, enjoys a great vogue for her quick ness and cleverness and her ever ready appreciation of a clover speech. Some of the brightest wits of tho capital frequent her home on the oc casion of the dally tea hour, the pro portion of men being a flattering tri bute to the hostess's gifts as an en tertainer. Mrs. George W. Vanderbilt is still another hostess whose more intimate friends may genornlly find her presid ing at a beautifully appointed table and dispensing tho steaming bever age. Thin bread and butter, with possibly a dainty sandwich, form the "Oh, no, I've not forgotten triumph and the glory I would not bring you back again to struggle and to pain.
