That the giddy social whirl
threatens to undermine the govern­
ment is evidenced by the remarks
of Mrs. La Follette at the Congres­
sional Club, where she made a plea
to the women to spend their time
in pursuits more useful thau “ ped­
dling pasteboard caids." Senator
Kenyou voiced the same complaint
in his Philadelphia speech. “ If you
hire a lawyer you do not want one
who spenbs every evening in the
week at a banquet or dinner, or out
somewhere else,” he said. “ That is
what is the matter with Congress.
Washington is as much of a “ social
center” as it Is political headquart­
ers. The society stunts are un­
doubtedly overdone, and common-
sense people like Mrs. La Follette
and Senator Kenyon find that all of
these functions do not leave proper
time for the real work that is be­
fore the people who are sent to
Washington charged with the per­
formance o f great duties.
NICK AND ALICE
Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Long-
worth o f Cincinnati, Ohio, have
been among the distinguished visit­
ors to Washington duriug the past
week. This in itself might make
a good “ personal” for the local
uewspapers. When young Long-
worth first came to Congress he was
quite a fellow, all on his own ac­
count. Never again can he be any­
thing more than a “ son in-law.
“ Princess A lice” always succeeded
in keeping Washington interested,
and there has perhaps been no more
beloved member of society in recent
years in the National Capital. Mrs.
Longworth wore mourning because
ot the death of an aunt. Since the
gown was new aud original, many
imitators have already copied it.
When her illustrious father was
President, "A lice blue” was lent
