"CHILDREN OF OFFICIALS, THEY FORM ATTRACTIVE GROUP OF JUVENILE SOCIETY AT NATION'S CAPITAL. Sons of Many Public Men Earn Good Salaries and Acquire Prominence by Acting as Private and Confiden- tial Secretaries, There is much truth in the oft-re peated observation that the real rulers at Washington are the children who constitute the sunlight in the homes of many of the nation's highest officials and of the foreign diflomats resident in the United States as Uncle alien guests. Moreover, there probably never been a time when the Sam's | has | private secretaries to their fathers. A gon of Vice-President Fairbanks is as- gociated in this capacity with the pre- siding officer of the United States Sen. ate, while Jasper Wilson, son of the Secretary of Agriculture, has served his father in such a capacity for years past. Likewise, Senator Foraker and many members of both houses of Con- gress have ipstalled their sons as their confidential assistants, smiimm———— ADVISES LIMIT OF HUGS.

At the head of the list, of course, stand the young people of the Whit House household. Of the half dozen young folks of the Roosevelt clan, Theodore, Jr., who is attending Har ward, and Kermit, the second son, who is away at school, n« spend compara- tively little time at the White House save at holiday seasons; but Miss Alice, the flaxen-haired Miss Ethel and the younger boys, Archibald and Quen- tin, are much in evidence at the Presi. dential mansion, and one and all go In night. Therefore, I say if you would keep your best beau limit your hugs.” This is unqualified commendation given by Mrs. S. M. Cory, of the So- ciety for Political Study of Dr. T. S.

THE YOUTHFUL PRINCESS OF ENGLAND IS TO BECOME THE SPANISH QUEEN. She is the Niece of this Country’s Re- cent Guest, Prince Louis of Batten berg — Princess Ena the Royal Beauty of England. All eyes will be turned toward Spain next May when the young King Al fonso XIII. will take the most beauti- ful and popular princess of England to be his queen, The young girl who has at last been selected to share the throne with fonso is the Princess Ena berg, only daughter of Princess Henry, the youngest sister of King Edward. Ever since Alfonso became King of Spain, and even when his mother acted a8 Queen Regent, his picturesque personality has been the ta of two continents. Long before he reached the marriageable age, even for a king, a new bride was picked out for him every day, and to members of his suite he would often say: “Whom am I to marry to-day? The newspapers surely have found me an- other wife!” But now Is that question no longer agitates Alfonso's court, for the beau- tiful Princess Ena has been chosen after a search which led the young monarch all over Europe. Country af- ter country was visited, but the fas tidious young king was often fronted by more fastidious young prin- cesses, and after he had been out on his search for a while he found that royal princesses were not so anxious to become Queen of Spain as he had thought back in his luxurious palace. When Alfonso visited England a few | months ago there were dozens of young | noblewomen | tion, but his eyes flew to the young wded for his inspec pa Princess Ena, and Alfonso, the unim- Al- | of Batten- | con- | | exceptionally well. pressionable, was conquered, Few monarchs have had the mete oric career of this young King of Spain, and if the Princess who is to becorue his consort follows out the rules which have always governed her happy young life Alfonso will have at last found someone to keep him in the way he should go-—an achievement which has heretofore been a« complished. | He has frequently ridden out | palace disgulsed as a soldier, a guard | or even a peasant, and has gone for | miles horseback riding or to attend gome little fete which has come | notice Days have elapsed which the queen mother and the ent | court have searched high and low fo | the boy king it befor the incident your back the his boyi strance wi the king."
