MEMBERS OF OFFICIAL SOCIETY OBSERVING LENT , A NEW PROBLEM HAS ARISEN Is an Invltntlon From the Vice Presl- j dent or a Cabinet Member a Com mand , Just the Same as an Invita tion From the Prenldent ? Im I Washington , Fob. 20.-Quito n Httlo tempest lii the social loapot IIHH boon created. It In wild , l > y the Intent dictum In tlio nmttrr of olllcllil etiquette. So- cloty hero Is ropnwontod as "fltlrroil to the very center" as to whether cabinet InvllntlonH to ini' < t the pronldont iinil ( ho first Imly of tinlunil eomo merely ns courtesies , Hint inny bo accepted or declined , or iniiHt bo looked upon IIH i "comnmntlB. " Every UIIOWH Hint nn Invltntlon to the whlto IIOIIHO IH n commniHl , nnd takes precedence of all cnRngoinontH. Hvon If tlio illnnor en gagement Is of a mouth's standing , and nn Invitation to the \vhlto IIOIIHO comes on the morning of the tiny , the guest hi\R no choice , but must nccopt the white house Invltntlon. Being "commanded" by n member of. the cabinet is uilto unothor miittor , liowover , nnd , BO the story goes , the In novation IB bitterly resented by the senior senators nnd their wives , and , In fact by nil the conservatives. The cabinet women Insist , as tholr dinner lists are made with Kreat euro and sub mitted to the president before the Invi tations are Issued , that Invitations to their dinners to meet the president should also bo looked upon ns com mands. Whatever the future may bring forth , the fact remains that the season Invitations to the dinners given by the cabinet members for the president nnd Mrs. Roosevelt wore marked by few regrets. Truth to toll , the cabinet hostesses have enjoyed Increased pres tige since It became the custom to ask none but guests outside the cabinet clrclo to the presidential dinner. Naturally enough , there Is n certain distinction In receiving cards for the most Important dinner In the hostess' list for the season. Nevertheless , more than one of the cabinet women this year received "regretful regrets" from favored Individuals bidden to the clr clo surrounding the board arranged In compliment to the chief executive and his wife , because of already accepted Invitations to other dinners. Mrs. Bonaparte , wife of the attorney general , will pass the greater part of the Lenten season at her homo near Baltimore , ns she does not expect to entertain or tnUo any part In society during Lent. Mrs. Bonaparte , although not a woman of robust health , has made a most conscientious nnd charmIng - Ing ofllclal hostess , fulfilling to the letter - tor all obligations to her husband's po sition. The secretary of the Interior nnd Mrs. Hitchcock , whoso approaching de parture from Washington Is a matter of universal regret in society , gave their last ofllclal dinner on Tuesday evening , when they entertained the president and Mrs. Roosevelt. Although Mrs. Hitchcock has taken no part In the ofllclal life of the season , owing to n period of mourning nnd her somewhat delicate health , she has been the recipient of Innumerable atten tions from her friends and maintained with grave courtesy and dignity the en viable reputation established nine years ngo , when she and her daugh ters were Immediately recognized as a great acquisition to the cabinet clrclo of the McKlnloy administration. Mr. nnd Mrs. Hitchcock nnd Miss Hitch cock will leave March 1. The eldest daughter , Mrs. William Sims , who , as Miss Anna Hitchcock , was one of the most popular of cabinet girls , will remain In Washington , whom she nnd her husband. Command' or William S. Sims , U. S. N. , are cs- tnbllshed In their own homo In Soveiv teenth street. The secretary of the navy nnd MM. Metcalf closed their formal entertain ing for the season last week , when the president nnd Mrs. Roosevelt were their guests at the annual cabinet din ner. Secretary nnd Mrs. Metcalf will leave this week for an extensive south ern trip , the first objective point beIng - Ing Now Orleans , whore they will bo extensively entertained. One of the society's most familiar rendezvous , the Mexican embassy , has again been reopened by the arrival this week of the Mexican ambassador and Senora de Creel. It Is reasonable to expect that the embassy will assume 'Its old prestige In social affairs , for which It Is so well adapted , with a master and mistress of almost fabu lous wealth. Sonera Creel Is the daughter of General Torrazas , who Is accounted the richest man In Mexico. The ambassador has followed well the footsteps of his father-in-law , and has become the next wealthiest man In his country. This largo wealth In the dip lomatic corps Is extremely Interesting , inasmuch ns the members of this cir cle are brilliant In many cases from the titles they bear and the deeds they have accomplished. The Brazilian am bassador Is well up on the list of mil lionaires , although society In Washing ton has had little chance to see evi dences of it In their entertainments. They came hero late lost season , nnd mndamo was thrown Into mourning be fore the winter set In , and has token no part whatever In society. The Ger man ambassador , the Japanese ambas- eador , Minister Corea of Nicaragua , mil Minister I.o or. from Haiti , nro n claused mixing the woiilthy Mrs. Albert L. Koy. wlfo of Com- imndor Key , naval aid to the presl- lent. IH coiisplcuouH among the long 1st \YiiHhlngtoii hostesses. Mrs , Key Is ono of n qiiartot of the well- known Coiidlt-Kinllti glrlH , who did so niich during their social rolgn hero to nnko onch season lively. She returned to Washington , In time o HOO her Hlslor , Mrs. Allco Condlt- Smith JiidHon , nmrrlod to Cambridge jlvlngston of New York , n marriage hat not only proved a gront surprise o frloiulH of the Condlt-Smlth girls , nit which resulted In something of n sensation , for the reason that the min ster who performed the ceremony , the lev. Edward L. Molt , was rebuked for its action by the bishop of Washing- on , hi'cniiHO one of tlio parties had ; ) oen divorced. Mrs. Livingston was 'orinorly the wlfo of Cyrus Field Judson - son of Now York , from whom she was llvorced about a year ago. The Condlt-Smlth and Field homos n Washington adjoin each other , nnd urc a part of the building which was 'ormerly known as the old capltol prls- > n , having been used IIH such during ho civil war. Mrs. Key Is a sister of Mrs. Leon- iird Wood , wife of the president's close friend , General Ixjonard Wood , and : ilso of Mrs. Richard Hooker , who , as Miss Mary Condlt-Smlth , was In the loxer slogo In Peking , whore she was visiting tlio then secretary of the American legation nnd Mrs. Herbert Sim I res. Miss Knthorlnu ElhliiH , daughter of Senator Stephen B. Elklns of West Virginia , has whatever distinction ac crues from being the only actlvo wo- nan member of the Cross country club ocated at The Plains , Fnuqulor conn- y , Va. This club , of which E. II. Hnr- rlman was the principal promoter , is an organization of millionaires , and In order to keep It exclusive money ex clusive the Initiation fee ts $10,000 and the yearly dues are $2,000. The wives of the members have as- toclato membership In the club , but Miss Elklns Is the only nctlvo woman member. She Is ono of the best riders n Washington , nnd has a passion for cross-country runs. Her father secured - cured her election to the club , paid the 10,000 Initiation fee nnd the $2,000 minimi dues In advance , nnd then put the membership certificate and the nonoy receipt in his daughter's stock ng for a Christmas present. This exclusive hunting club has ono of the finest estates In Fauqulor coun ty. The clubhouse Is magnificent , and ho fox hunting and the hunting of other kinds of game are perhaps bet- or than In any other part of Virginia. The club's property Is situated only forty miles from the city of Washing ton. Sincere regret Is felt at the passing of Mrs. Alger as a Washington hostess , It grieves society to think the hospit able homo In Sixteenth street will bo eliminated rfom the places of enter tainment. For moro than ten years , with a short Interval , Mrs. Alger dis pensed her gracious hospitality. She ivns ono of the women who know "how to do things. " She had the skill to gown herself , to adorn her home , to get up a banquet for a gourmet or ilyspeptlc. But others than the butter- ly world will miss her. She had a long charity list , and was a practical stu dent of social reform. Mrs. Alger will not occupy her Washington home for a long time , though It Is hinted that when her grief has been softened by tlmo she will make the capital her winter dwelling place. Mrs. William A. Clark , wlfo of the senator , and her small daughter An drea are becoming familiar figures to the Washington public. Mrs. Clark affects a pure whlto automobile and she gowns herself In the palest of grayer or blue. Her little girl's attire might bo "correct" In a Paris boulevard , but she Is rather remarkable looking In America. Her clothes are of the sheer est lawn , and she wears a big mobcap of fine lace , with a wreath of small roses about her face. Even the strings aru of lace and roses and they must bo exceedingly Irritating , but It Is sur mised French children are taught not to mind lack of comfort as long as they are stylish. Mrs. Clark Is pining for Paris , It Is evident , so her sojourn In Washington Is not likely to be long. Nowhere Is the utilitarianism of the ngo moro apparent than nt cotillions given by the members of the million aire winter colony In Washington. Mrs. Thomas F. Gnff of Cincinnati gave a ball for her daughter , Zaldco , a few nights ago , and persons with n fondness for arithmetic reckoned that she had spent $2,000 on the favors. They were not such elegant tlrfles as generally figure on such occasions. No ; the belles received picture hats with curllsh ostrich plumes , feather boas , nnd muffs , and silver-mounted chatelaine bags. The beaux received equally practical gifts , such as um brellas and suit cases. Conservative hostesses of Washington were shocked because another newcomer gave as favors at a card party full sets of ex quisite French underwear. A dozen pairs of silk hose constitute a rather ordinary favor nowadays at dances or card parties. Mrs. Roosevelt , after resisting the allurement of the violet nnd lavender fad , has at last yielded , and for the first tlmo slnco coming to the whlto house she has appeared in a rich costume tumo of the combined shades. She wore a now gown at the reception to members of congress , and she never appeared moro stately. Her gown was of brocade , dark figures on a light ground , with a satin stripe of medium color running throughout the fabric. Hvorybody known Mrs. Roosevelt's love of lady finger orchids , with their vnrled tints of delicate mauve to rich inrplo. The colors of her gown seem o have been chosen from the orchids , ind , as she wore a lingo cluster of the HRoniB the resemblance was accent- tatcd. The gown was In the prevail- ng empire style , with a doml-trnln nnd n graceful bertha of cream French ace fastened with small diamond stick pins. Slnco her declaration against the use of song bird plumage , Issued n the summer , the mistress of the white IIOIIHO no longer uses the pretty aigrettes In her hnlr. Usually an or chid , or n ribbon bow caught with n llamond butterfly , forms her coiffure adornment SPORTS Small Boats to Race. , San Francisco , Fob. 21. The South 2oast Yacht club of Ixw AngolcH has ssucd a circular stating the conditions of I ho ocean race from San Pedro , Cal. , o Honolulu , which will start on June 11 , nnd which will bo conducted under ho Joint nusplcos of the South Const Yacht club and the Hawaii Yacht club. The circular says : "This race Is > pen to all yachts .of not less than for- : y-foot wntorllno , to be confined to any regularly organized yacht club of any country without , restrictions as to rig ging , crow ( professional or amateur ) , snlla , but no motive power other than sails shall be tised.

Nell After Big Game. San Francisco , Fob. 21. Unless Tom McCaroy of Los Angeles offers a purse of $5,000 for the fight between Frankle Nell and Jimmy Walsh of Boston , there will bo nothing doing so far ns Nell : s concerned. Nell is willing to take Kid Herman's ilnce ) against Young Corbett in the light at Reno , Nov. , March 18 , If the 3hicngoau persists In balking at the terms offered. Nell says he Is getting tieavlor now and would bo willing to meet the bigger men If the Induce ments nro sufllcicnt. ALL-FOURS CURE FOR FAT. Nebuchadnezzar's Stunt Resort of Dls- peptics and Corpulent Persons. Anso.nln , Conn. , Fob. 21. Many per sons , women and men , who suffer from Indigestion or other intestinal ail ments , nro being treated by the "Neb uchadnezzar cure. " Bible readers know that Nobuclmdnezar was con demned to go on all fours nnd eat grass. The cure named after the an cient king does not compel the patient to eat grass , of course. But the pa tient , woman or man , must go on nil fours for a certain fixed time each day. Remarkable cures are reported. The cure Is fine for obesity , too. There Is the case of Mrs. X. She has long suffered from what she called embonpoint. " Four months ago Mrs. X. adopted the Nebuchadnezzar cure. Mrs. X.'s Joyous shouts awoke her hus band this morning. "I see my toes , " she was crying hap pily. "For the first Ime In ten years I see my toes.

In a dark closet on the top door of the Porcellan club In Cambridge , Theodore Roosevelt , Jr. , attired In jockey's apparel , sniffed the feet of a roast pig and then kissed the "critter" at the beginning of his Initia tion Into the club nlst night.

Tito Way We ( ] < * ( Our Iiii | > re lonn at n PrcvloiiN Ktlntenee. "Have we lived before ? " Is n ques- Ion discussed by many correspondents of British newspapers ) . Dr. Andrew Yllsou analyzed the strange phe nomena of memory given by the coii- rlbutor.s In part ns follows : "The doc- rlno of metempyehosls or trnusmlgra- ion of souls represents a very- ancient belief. Not merely did It credit the possibility thtit tun soul after death could be transferred from one human being to another , but It also held that he human soul might take up Its ibodc in another form of life and bo rnnsfcrreil from the purely human to he lower animal domain. The theory asserts that an each stage Is ended iiid a new era begun the soul sheds most of the features it illustrated In he life it left , retaining now and then , lowover , vague memories of some of ts antecedent states. Such memories , forcibly projected Into the foreground of our existence today , It Is held , should convince us that wo have 'lived ) cfore. ' "Everything we have heard or seen or otherwise appreciated through the agency of our sense organs every Im pression , every sensation Is really stored up within those brain cells which exercise the memory function. True , wo nmy not be able to recall nil of them nt will. Many are dpubtless beyond the reach of the power that revives and prints off for us positives 'rom ' our stored up mental negatives But It is none the less significant that on occasion we can disinter memories of events whose date lies very far jack in our lives recollections , these , icrhaus , wo luivo never realized , after .heir reception , but lying latent and only awaiting the requisite and proper stimulus to awaken them and to bring .hum to the surface of our life. "This expresses briefly what wo mean by our 'subliminal cousclous- icss. ' It is that uuderlnyer of stored up Impressions and memories which s only fully awakened in certain brain states and of which in our ordinary life we only receive the faintest nnd most occasional reminders of Its ex- stcnce. We do not recognize the source of every bit of ancient news the subliminal consciousness may bring to light , and so we treat Its resur rections ns If they were reflections from some previous phase of exist ence. But often the clew Is supplied us , and the apparent mysterious re awakening of past life appears merely as a recollection the origin of which we did not at llrst recognize. "Even the Idea that sometimes strikes us ou entering a strange place , iitherto unknown to us , that we 'havo been there before' is capable of ra tional explanation. Our brain Is built on the double principle and acts In ap preciating our surroundings through the simultaneous work of Its two In tellectual centers. If there exists n slight discrepancy In this simultaneous work , so that one half of our brain appreciates the scene a little before the other half , we are presented with the false memory of having seen the place before. " The Antiquity of the Glove. The antiquity of gloves has long been in dispute. The question turns upon the rendering of a passage In the fourth chapter of the book of Ruth , verses 7. 8 : "Now , this was the manner In for mer time In Israel concerning redeem ing and concerning changing for to confirm nil things. A man plucked off bis shoe nnd gave It to his neighbor , ami this was n testimony In Israel. Therefore the kinsman said unto Booz , 'Buy It for thee. ' So ho drew off his shoe. " For shoe In these verses , It Is sold wo ought to read glove. On this mat ter M. Josephs , n Hebrew of great lit erary attainments nnd author of sev eral learned works , advanced the fol lowing theory : The Hebrew nauga signifies to shut close or Inclose. When followed by regel , the foot , It might mean a shoe or sandal , but when 1 stands by Itself , as In the original of the passage quoted , It must be render ad "glove. " It Is further stated that the ancient and modern rabbins ogreo In rendering the word from tue orlclna as "glove" and that Joel Levy , a cclo brated German translator , gave , In stood of shoe , his picturesque native term of hand schub , hand shoe , by which gloves are known In German ; to this day.-"Gloves , " by William Beck , 18S3 , In Notes and Queries.

Captain Matrau Speaks. The only address delivered In the schools by a veteran of war was that of Captain H. C. Matrau , secretary of he board of education , who spoke to ho pupils in Miss Mathewson's room at the Grant school building. These mpils are part of the fourth and fifth grades. Captain Matrau was a fighter 11 the civil war and gained command of a' comparty of Volunteers by his icrolsrn and ability as an executive ) fllcer. He enlisted In the army when was almost as young as some of the pupils to whom he spoke Thurs- lay afternoon.

" If a man takes a thing that doesn't belong to him , he is called a thief ; but If a woman does the same thing , she Is called a "kleptomaniac. " It Is a mean trick to look a gift horse in the mouth , but all do It. t A bad man has a great contempt for T the way a good man swears. The scenery n farmer admires is land that will raise big corn. A woman Is never in such a hurry that she says goodbye that way. You often hear of "a woman hater. " There Is no such thing , among men. The greatest downfall In the Only k Child's life Is when It ceases to bo the * ' only ono. I A worthless girl always seems to get along a good deal better than a worthless man. The man who prides himself on be ing a "great observer of little things" can usually be rolled upon for a few unpleasant remarks. According to some old-fashioned nnd pessimistic people , the weather can never change but what It is "apt to cause a lot of sickness. "
