editor of the World, is a member of I
Congress, and it is my duty, under
Che law to apportion the wheat, and |
notify the members that It is subject I

There are at present in the terries I

"What are society's penis for young
women?” I just asked a “society :
glri,” and she said: “In Washington,
lack of men.” For girls this Is true.
Thera are plenty of men In Washing,
ton. Perhaps in' no city In the Uni
ted Status is society worth so moth
while as In Washington, because so
many distinguished men gather therq.
In no party do you Ml to see groups,
any one member of which would be
considered worth making a feast for
in other cities- All the distinguished
men of Washington scarcely come at
an earlier period than thoir middle
life. They are in Washington bo-
cause they have already won more or
less eminence. They are past the un
certainty, the hesitancy, the unreality
of life, and are bent on definite par-
suits. The young men, the natural

Now the point that we wish to press
is that it is generally unwise, and it is
almost sme to entail harm, to many
out of one's general social sphere. It
is far worse, too, when a woman mar
ries benoath bar general social grade
than when a man does it. Social
standing, in the nature of the case,
goes more with the man than with
the woman. Yonng women should
remember this. Tennyson wa3 speak
