Positions of great is well as lowly Import in the government of that kingdom have been fettled in the drawing rooms of all-powerful political hostesses And often -the man who is Possessed of social popularity Is the one who g eta the position. And we all know that social popularity is decided by women alone. : SUlk in this country, it would probably be a mistake for a man to depend on social popularity to elect him to any position. So many men are slightly prejudiced by that sort of thing when it comes to polities. ' ;i qPEAKINO of men and ' popularity, it seems apropo to say aomeuiing aooui me ieminine portion of the legislature the wires of solons. who made a host of new friends amone Canital elty folk. Many of these charming women already numbered friends kare. but there were others who were in Salem for the first time At wife of the Speaker Of the house. Mrs. Louis Bean filled her posi tion with graciousness and charm. She was claimed at about every social affair during her stay, and was herself the motif for numerous courtesies. . ' And Mrs. Bean was appreciative of all these marks of attention, endeavoring in so far as was possible t6 express this gratitude. It was this thought that prompted her to assume the role of hostess on the final night of the legislature, when .using the beauiful silver tea set thathad been presented to .her by the house of representatives he dispensed cups of steaming beverage to legislators and the people of the city, which perhaps started a new custom, for it is not at all unlikely-that hereafter, well-known Salem matrons willtake it upon themselves to dispense a bit of final hospitality in this manner. Pouring with Mrs. Bean were Mrs. O. P. Hoff, the following assisting iri serving: Mrs. Ben W. Olcott. Mrs. Ronald Glover. Mrs. W. Carlton Smith, Mrs. W. H. Lytle, and Mrs. H. FMoyer. Cut flowers, potted plants with a large flag, made an attractive background for the affair. ., Well-known feminine musicians contributed numbers during the evening, each being roundly applauded by the big crowd. . Mrs. V. Carlton Smith, sang several numbers, as did. also Miss Gertrude Porter, daughter of Sen at or. Porter, and Miss Gertrude Aldrich. with Miss Ruth Bedford appearing, in. a piano number.
