WASHINGTON WRINKLES.
From the New Haven Journal and
Courier.
All the news that comes from Wash
ington in these stirring times isn't
Important, but there can be no doubt
of the importance of a new wrinkle
in Wliite House etiquette. This new
wrinkle showed itself at a luncheon
given to some ladies by] Mrs. Roose
velt. At the European' courts It is
the custom at the end of the dinner
for all the royal personages at the ta
ble to rise and retire while all others
present remain seated. The royalties
proceed to the drawing r-com and take
for themselves the preferred seats,
while the others later stroll in and
distribute themselves in the remain
i»S seats. The ladies who were bid
den to the recent White House lunch
eon are telling their friends that Mrs.
Roosevelt rose and retired at the end
of the repast and in a little while the
others followed.
But if this looks royal it is offset
by other things which are truly Amer
ican. Mrs. Knox has ordered iter
winter silks from New Jersey. Miss
Root's trousseau is to be entirely of
American manufacture. Mrs. Fair
banks will wear only gowns made ia
Indianapolis and Baltimore. And Mrs.
Roosevelt always lias patronized home
trade.
It may be added that while Mr. "Joe"
Cannon is speaker of the House, on *
brauoh of the government is sure to
be flavored with true Americanism.

A REFLECTION.
A Washington educator tells an
amusing story of his college days in
New England, says tin* Washington
Star. One of the institution’s most
eminent, professors was lecturing. His
class was for some reason restless,
and after fidgeting for a time a num
ber of the students took no pains to
onceal their weariness. The profes
;or remained, a while in apparent un
consciousness of their attitude, but
suddenly he stopped. After an in
tant’s pause he loaned forward, his
face taking on a charming and char
acteristically quizzical expression,
and said:
“Gentlemen. I must ask that you be
patient, and hear with nie a few mo
ments longer. I still have a few more
pearls to cast/’

GERMAN ANGELS.
Howard's mamma, says Brooklyn
Life, has ideas on bringing up chil
dren, and one of them Is that the
modern languages might as well be
learned together, once for all. Conse
quently little Howard aborsbs some
German along with his English and
particularly gifted in prayer, spiel
ing off each night his Teutonic peti
tions with his English "Now 1 lay
me," and repeating with particular
nnct ion:
"Vatu', lass die Engel dein
Uber meine Bette sein.”
The other night found the young
ster a very weary, somewhat refrac-
small person. He did. Indeed,
say his "Now I lay me" properly, but
balked at "Muede bin ich.”
What, sweetheart," reproved his
mother, "don't you mnt the Father
to let His angels watch over your
bed?”
"No, no," wailed tbe tired baby re-
belliously; "they're only old German
angels anyway."
