Bee Bureau,
' Washington, Nov. 1.
This has been a week unprece
dented in Washington,, when a
reigning king and queen in the
very height of their, popularity,
Tiave not only been the feted
guests, but have mingled with
. society after the fashion of real
Americans. The petite Queen Eliz
abeth of the Belgians, in her rich,
smart but , never extravagant rai
ment; the king of the Belgians, in
his uniform, as the head of the army
anrTthe grave, unassuming but very
dignified young crown prince, in the
uniform of private in the Belgian
army, and his aide in the same uni
form, have first awed, then pleased,
and then enthused the populace
whenever they have shown them
selves. They carried out a strenu
ous schedule arranged for them by
the State department, which gave
them not an hour to themselves ex
cept in the early morning, until mid
night, each of these three days they
spent in Washington.
The first morning of their stay the
king was up and out of the big man
sion on Sixteenth street built by the
late Mrs. Franklin MacVeagh when
Mr. MacVeagh was secretary of the
treasury, and now occupied by the
third assistant secretary of state
and Mrs. Long, where the royal
party were entertained, and. had a
brisk walk through the park and was
back at the house by 9 o'clock. This
is'the hour usually for society, to
only begin to think of stirring.
Wednesday morning, a little be
fore 9 o'clock, the attractive young
prince was noticed walking briskly
up Fifteenth street front F street,
where he and his aide had been
strolling, and mount the platform at
New York avenue and Nineteenth,
where passengers wait for cars.
They boarded a Fourteenth street
car, the prince dropped a dime in the
slot machine and the two strangers
in the uniform of privates took seats
down in front, as though they had
been trying an ' experiment they
were not sure of and were keenly
interested in. They rode to Colum
bia Road, got off and walked the
three blocks to the MacVeagh
house, almost everyone' who saw
them recognizing them instantly.
Of all the dinners, banquets or
what not, which have been given in
their honor in this country, there js
probably not one to eclipse that on
Tuesday evening at which the vice
president and rs. Marshall acted
as hosts, in the home ,of the late
Thomas F. Walsh. Mrs. Walsh has
given her house over to the work of
making all kinds of warm, service
able clothing for the suffering chil
dren, women and old men of Bel
gium and France since the early days
of their misfortunes. Her salon,
drawing room, music room and con
servatory, were stripped of their
rugs, hangings and rich furniture,
and in their places were electric
sewing machines, knitting machines
and work tables.
A group of her women friends
worked here with her every day, and
they worked hard. The garments
are all made from the cast-off
clothes and articles sent to her.
In the mid-week, last week she
whisked the work all out, had rugs
and hangings put up and the first
flopr looked on Tuesday night as
j-oyal as it would be possible to
""make any rooms, minus a throne.
There were 62 guests at dinner and
the table was laid in a horseshoe
shape, jn the salon, which opens
into the great music room, where a
large pipe organ is built in. The
daintiest of fine linens dressed the
table, which was set with a complete
"service of superb gold. There were
plates, knives, forks, spoons, indi
vidual nut dishes, innumerable com
potes, six tall vases filled with pink
roses; five large epergnes holding
rare fruits; many low bowls filled
with bonbons, and all in repousse
gold, and exquisite Bohemian glass,
etched heavily with gold. There
were water glasses, claret glasses
filled with " fruit punch and cham
pagne glasses filled with grape
juice and no wine was served. . Or-
. chids in a low mound were arranged
around the curve of table in front
of the royal party. The vice presi
dent and Mrs. Marshall and the
royal party made a detour of the
music room and looked at and bowed
to each guest assembled there, in a
semi-circle around the room, Colonel
Ridley, the president's! aide, an
nouncing the name of each guest
There was no handshaking.
After the dinner the ladies left
the table first, and went to the din
ing room of the house where the
work was arranged for their inspec
tion, and there the king and other
men of the party joined them when
r the queen presented to and pinned
on Mrs. Walsh the decoration of the
Order of Elizabeth. Mrs. Walsh
was a guest at the dinner. The late
Mr. Walsh was a personal friend
and was entertained by the late
King Leopold and it was a fitting
atmosphere for such an honor.
Among the guests on ' this occa
sion were the senator from Omaha
and Mrs. Gilbert Ms" Hitchcock.
Mrs. Hitchcock loolced exceedingly
well in a gown of black chiffon vel
vet with much white lace on the
bodice. She sat between the speaker
of the house of representatives, Mr.
Gillett, and Lt. Col. Tilkens, aide
de camp to the king, and the sena
tor was between Mrs. Breckinridge
, Long, wife of the third assistant
secretary of state, .and Mrs. John
Rogers, wife of the representative
from Massachusetts, a skilled mix
ing of politics.
: The gown of the queen was an
example of good taste and elegance,
of heavy white satin with a long,
rather narrow train and no trim
mings. A large bunch of orchids
marked the waistline and she wore
a string of pearls and a diamond
tiara.
. Her costumes have been for the
, most part, of white, although at

Cornelia, Mother of the Gracchi.
"All men rule over women; we.
Romans rule over all men, and our
wives rule over us," said Cato, the
censor, when he had an attack of
nerves. Among notable Roman la
dies the mind flits fascinated
from Lucretia to Cornelia, and ling
ers with wonder at the name of a
Messalina. Cornelia lived in the
days of he Roman republic. Daugh
ter ofScipio Africanus, conquerer
of Hannibal, she inherited the stern
virtues of her father. Married in 69
B. C. to Semprorius Gracchus, she
was left a widow with 12 children.
Only two survived their youth, two
sons, Tiberius and Caius. , She de
voted herself exclusively to their ed
ucation, and in after days these dis
tinguished orators and statesmen
avowed they owed ! everything to
their mother. She declined the suit
of King Ptolemy of Egypt All her
magnificent powers and learning
were consecrated to the two boys.
The Roman people erected a monu
ment to Cornelia, with this inscrip
tion, "Cornelia, Mother of the
Gracchi." i
Jeanne D'Are.
Was the famous maid burned?
The question will throw a bomb into
human thinking. Documentary
evidence of the most authoritative
character completely negative! the
story of her being burned show
that she was alive and happily mar
ried several years after the date of
her execution in Rouen, 143L These
documents are in the registry of the
city of Mayence. They show she
came thitcher in 1436. Her brother!.
Pierre and Jean recognized her. Her
marriage contract to Robert d'Am
boise, knight, and bearing her name,
Jeanne d'Arc, la pucelie d'Orleane,

all mean? No question is more in

Wr OMEN who buy carefully are coming more
and more to the realization of the fact that the
dependability of the house from which they
make their purchases is of much more importance than
the consideration of the individual articles sought .
Just as the character and reputation of a trustworthy;
man is founded upon the countless good deeds and ac
complishments of his past life, so is the character and
reputation of a business house built on years of faithful,
conscientious service to its patrons. As you would turn
instinctively to a man of known dependability for ad
vice on legal or financial matters, so do you seek an old
house of known standing when you consider an invest
ment in furs.
.Whether you anticipate the purchase of a small fur of
inconsiderable cost or one of the more elaborate con
ceptions, you will find the National showing unsur
passed in variety of styles and integrity of values.
When you buy National Furs you buy direct from
