Washington, Nov. 22—The lull
which usually precedes a holiday sea
son, or some great attraction else
where, will be the portion of the capi
tal during the coming week. Last Fri
day afternoon Mrs. Roosevelt conclud
ed a pleasant series of card receptions
given to get herself acquainted with
those who will necessarily be nearest
to her, socially, during the coming win
ter. She was assisted by several la
dies of the cabinet, and her sister. Mrs.
. nwles. A slight hit' ll occurred in the
arrival of a good many ladies who had
not been expected. About one hundred
invitations were issued, and another
hundred or so attended, supposing the
affair to be public. But the lady of the
White House is a tactful hostess. She
extended the same cordial welcome to
every one; and though refreshments
had been prepared only for the origi
nal hundred, somehow the miracle of
the loaves and fishes was repeated and
everybody got her cup of tea and bis
cuit. The guests were received in the
red parlor and Mrs. Roosevelt was
simply gowned in soft black silk, with
garniture of white lace and stock of
light blue.
Saturday night the President and
Mrs. Roosevelt entertained at dinner
all the cabinet families who are now in
the city, besides Secretary and Mrs.
Oortelyou, Lieut. Gen. and Mrs. Miles,
Mr. Winston Churchill (the author of
Richard Carvel), and his wife, who are
here as house guests of Secretary and
Mrs. Hitchcock, and a few others. The
tables was florally beautiful with
chrysanthemums and the caqdles burn
ed under tinted shades. The Roosevelts
bid fair to eclipse all records as White
House hosts, so far as hospitality is
concerned, if their present pace is con
tinued. of breaking bread two or three
times every day with personal or po
litical friends. Since the day of his
coming to the executive mansion, the
President has failed to sit down to a
single family dinner or luncheon; and
even the first meal of the day is fre
quently enlivened by the presence of
guests. Asa Washington wag expresses
It, "He drops a dinner in the slot am!
gets a package of administration ad
vice." Political economists are already
beginning to speculate how long “Ted
dy's” pocketbook is going to stand the
perpetual dinner-giving strain. The
Roosevelts have always lived well and
had wine at luncheon and dinner; and
for them, the pleasures of the table are
enhanced an hundred fold by the pres
ence of congenial guests. The Red Par
lor-famous during the McKinley ad
ministration for the Sunday night sym
posiums, so dear to the heart of the
martyred President—has been selected
by Mr. Roosevelt for his private even
ing conferences with political advisers.
It is here, in the genial glow of the
red hangings and crimson-shaded
lights, that the President comes, after
the comfort of a good dinner, to dis
cuss affairs of state with half a dozen
or more older, If not wiser heads than
his own.
Whatever the P esident undertakes,
ho has the best kind of bon camarad
erie in his wife, who is well up on all
questions of public interest. Though she
personally supervises the education of
her children and affairs of the nur
sery to the smallest detail,
&he finds time to ride or
drive every day with her husband.
Riding is the more popular with both,
and Mrs. Roosevelt is an expert horse
woman, the possessor of a thorough
bred mount and keen for a swift race
with her husband \Vhen beyond the
city limits. Rumor has it that Mrs.
Roosevelt is responsible for the very
smart appearance of the Presidential
equipages; but it is safe to divide the
honors, apportioning the selection of
the horses to the President and the
trappings and liveries to his wife. At
bast we have a White House outfit
which can compare with that of any
foreign embassy in Washington. Mrs.
Roosevelt drives in a victoria, or a
trim brougham, and the men on the
box wear liveries of very dark blue,
with wide collars of what is known as
continental blue.” Their hats are or
namented with small cockades of red,
white and blue. It sounds rather bi
zarre. but is really in the very host
possible taste and extremely “smart."
I he other day Miss Alice Roosevelt
went making a round of calls in an
open carriage with light trimmings, be
hind the President’s new horses, “Ad
tniral" and “General.” The span are
toothers, dark mahogany bays and per
fectly matched, with black points and
lr| ng, flowing tails. On their heads
"ere rosettes of red, white and blue,
'notching the cockades of coachman
find footman. Miss Roosevelt wore a
highly becoming gown of dark red cloth
"ith dark furs and a big white hat.

—is little more than a week ahead, and
the capital is rapidly filling up with
senators and represents t ? and the
thousands who follow In their train.
Already the hotels are crowded and
prices, as usual, have mounted sky
ward. Representative David B. Hen
derson, who will undoubtedly again
wield the Speakers’ gavel, is re-estab
lished in his old quarters at La Nor
mandie and working like a beaver.
The genial General is In excellent
excellent health and spirits. On his
W’ay here he stopped in Chicago to
attend a banquet of the army of Ten-,
nessess, In which division he lost a
leg during the Civil .War. Like most
wearers of the button, he never misses
a chance to re-une with his old com
rades.
Senator and Mrs. Fairbanks have
reopened their Washington home
for the winter. Their daughter is
with them—Mrs. H. R. Allen,
of Indianapolis, who will accompany
her mother on a short tour South. As
president general of the D. A. R., Mrs.
Fairbanks goes next to Charlottes
ville, Va.. to attend the State Conven
tion of the society in that city; later
she will go to Atlanta, Ga., to take
part in an elaborate programme, ar
ranged for Nov. 21.
Mrs. Eugene Hale will spend the
winter in foreign travel. The Misses
Evans, daughters of the Commissioner
of Pensions, have just returned to
Washington, after a year's absence in
foreign lands. Their travels included
visits to China, Japan and the Philip
pines. Miss Cockrell, daughter of the
Senator from Missouri, is still at her
Western home, where she has oeen
nursing her uncle, Mr. Ewing, through
a long and dangerous illness. She will
not join her father here before the last
of December: and her younger sister,
Anna Cockrell, who is in a convent
school near Paris, will not return to
America for a year or more. Mrs.
Phil Sheridan has been at West Point
for several ‘weeks, attending her only
son, Cadet Phil Sheridan, Jr., who has
been at death’s door with typhoid. He
is now convalescing and Mrs. Sheri
dan is expected to rejoin her daughter
to-morrow In their Washington home.
Mrs. Root, wife of the Secretary of
War, has had a similar experience with
her son, Elihu Root, Jr., who is slowly
recovering from a long siege of ty
phoid. She is still at his bedside, in
New York city. Mr. and Mrs. George
Cabot Lodge have returned from Par
is, where they have lived most of the
time since their romantic marriage,
which took place In Boston nearly two
years ago. Mrs. George W. Childs
has sold her Washington house to At
torney General Knox and gone to
Southern California. It is not likely
that she will ever live here again,
though very fond of the social life of
the Capital, in which she has been an
important factor.
Ex-Senator Marion Butler of North
Carolina, the youngest member the
United States Senate has ever known,
paid Washington a few hours’ visit last
week, departing for New York in the
napie day. “I am out of politics for
good and all,” said Senator Butler. “1
am now In business and I make money
and don’t get jumped on, as I did In
the Senate.”
After declaring that he will never
marry until he has won the cup, what
will be the disappointment to Ameri
can feminity if Sir Thomas Lipton
should decide not to build another
yacht! The troubles of Mr. Wu, the
Chinese minister, are unceasing. His
present worriment is caused by the
“three little maids from school” whom
his wife brought back with her, on her
recent return from a summer's visit in
the Flowery Kingdom. The lithe maids
aforesaid are attracting altogether too
much attention for Oriental ideas of
propriety, especially as Mrs. Wu prom
ised their parents that they should be
kept in as careful seclusion as at
home. Both the Chinese minister and
Mrs. Wu Ting Fang go a great deal
in Washington society, but the pretty
young visitors will not otten be al
lowed to venture beyond the legation
walls. Poor little almond-eyed maid
ens, with their dozens of chests full of
finery, which nobody but a few stupid
secretaries of the Chinese legation will
see, though their tiny feet are fairly
aching to trip Into the midst of the
fairy-like revels of this (to them)
strange land! No suitors need apply.
Persons -walking down Twelfth street
are treated to a novel sight in the
show-window of a popular bird-store —
that of an enormous python tucked up
in a bed-quilt, with his head protrud
ing, peacefully asleep. For some weeks
his snakeship coiled up contentedly in
the bare window, until the weather
grew chilly. Then his owner tossed it
a cotton-filled “comforter.” It is safe
to say that the python had never seen
anything like it in his native jungle,
but after a careful investigation, he
decided to make the best of circum
stances. Now he squirms himself in
to his nest about 5 o’clock every after
noon—and when settled for the night,
looks exactly as if somebody had put
him to bed and tucked him in, like a
baby in its crib.

Five Billion Dollar* Hidden Airny
In Raftsla'a War Coffer*.
(Copyright, 1901, by W. F. McCarty.)
Washington, Nov. 22.—Whenever an
attempt is made to foot up the known
production of gold from what record?
are available. It is found that, after
counting all coin and bullion and In
cluding estimates of gold used in vari
ous manufactures, there Is still missing
some five billions of dollars worth of
the yellow metal, an ammount equal
to the present world’s supply of coin
and bullion. Now it has been esti
mated that, owing to the laws of dif
ferent countries which put a tax on
the product of gold mining and the
consequent failure of mfne owners to
report their full product, together with
other causes, fully as much more gold
is In the world as that missing from
the reports of gold production. The
first five billions mentioned Is general
ly charged up to loss by accident or
abrasion, but where Is the second five
billions of the world's gold which has
been produced but not reported on*
According to a well known Russian
official, with whom the writer has act
ed In s confidential capacity, the
world's missing gold Is hidden awsy in
the roffets of Russia's wsr fund, sod
her purpose In secreting this wealth
is not that h* may ba prepared for

You buy in department stores and the exclusive clothier is wonderful, and very few men ever stop to think how much more they are obliged to
pay for their clothes by going to regular clothing stores. You never stopped long enough to consider how much it cost an exclusive clothier to
run his business by comparing the space a department store occupies with exclusive clothing stores doing about the same amount of business in
the same amount of space, you would find the difference very large. An exclusive clothing store has to pay extra rent, light, extra salespeople,
porters, cashiers, cash and bundle hoys, deliveries, insurance, and advertising, and you wilt find that it is +mposstble to selt goods as cheap as this
BIG STORE does to-day, having thirty large departments all under one roof.

strong enough in resources to stand
under it—Russia and the United States.
Russia will be ready for it, because
she has billions of gold stored away,
and the United States is too young
and vigorous to go dowfn even under
the system of credit established for
purposes of development.”
There are many who will doubtless
ridicule this statement, or at least
many will doubt that Russia has such
a large secret war fund, but the official
quoted has stood for many years In a
position which would inform him of
all finance plans of his government. In
deed, he is himself the grandson of one
of Alexander the First's ministers, and
he claim* that It was this grandfather
who formulated the plan which Russia
has been working on secretly for more
than three-quarters of a century.
It may seem strange that an Ameri

country with home-steaders. He often
discussed the problem in relation to
Russia’s great wealth of lands and the
possibilities of developing these under
similar laws and conditions.
From time to time I tried to learn his
views of Russian credit and whether
ho thought that Russia could secure
from Germany, England and France
such loans as we were then obtaining
for our development. To all this he had
one answer—that the United States
and most of the countries of Europe
were building up an enormous super
structure of industry and commerce
on a foundation of credit as treacher
ous as quicksand. He felt that the
system of credit was certainly to re
sult In th# wrecking of all the coun
tries of Western Europe because they
had no adequate and real toundation
under It. but that the United Htates
might pull through by reaaon of great
resource* of undeveloped wealth. At
the best, however, he thought that our
present system would cause such a
concentration of wealth In the hands
of a very tew that out for in of govern
ment would undoubtedly be subverted.

One night we fell to talking about
the days of his grandfather, and we

plan came out:
"My grandfather lived through th#

could control. He decided that gold
