Few persons realize what a promi- pent part in the social life of Wash- ington is played by the so-called “so- cial secretary.” The ramifications of the daily etiquette of official life in the capital are very complicated, and there are many pitfalls for the un- ‘wary, so that, even though a woman may have been quite familiar with the social usages of some big metropolis and entirely “to the manner born,” yet when she comes to Washington it is generally necessary for her to have a secretary, even though the secretary does nothing whatever but protect her from encroaching undesirables, those countless hangers-on in political life who have either some personal ax to grind or who are seeking favors from the wives of power-wielding husbands. A woman’s success in Washington depends upon many things. She must have tact to begin with, a nice judg- ment, much diplomacy and poise, a great deal of executive ability, and a extremely. intimate knowledge o( who’s who. It I8 in the pointing out of who's who that the social secretary is so particularly useful. Official life in Washington is ex- tremely exacting, so that a woman newly arrived upon the scene really needs the assistance of some one wha has spent an entire life there and who really knows. For this reason social secretaries in the capital are nearly rlways chosen from among the daugh- | ters of the old and distinguished fam- flies. It is never difficult to find some mémber of an old family who is not averse to increasing her income in this manner. The position, however, s no sinecure, as the girl must not only know every detail of the compli- | cated rules of social procedure in Washington, but also the varying shades of social preferment. In ‘Washington the social secretary en- | Joys undisputed social position. She does not lose her prestige when she ! becomes secretary, as she usually does in England. The social secretary in ‘Washington has her hands full. Her duties are ! jmany and her occupations extremely varied, for not only is she obliged to look after the purely social end of the little game by directing her patron in vitations, the writing of notes, the placing of guests at dinners, and the | like, but, what is more to the point, she acts as a sort of intelligence bu- reau for her employver. Presumably, | the ladyv is too busy to do anything| for herself. so the secretary reads the lpapsrs the new books. and the like, ! !goes to the concerts and hears the new singers or attends the theater and studies the new plays. Then she | tells her emplover all about these things, so that the busy lady may be- | come entirely au courant with the topics of the times. ! FIGHT IN WHITE HOUSE YARD| Envoy’s Son Challenges an Editor and | 'Phone 396 Is Taken to Cafe for Treatment. In the White House grounds Joa- quin Calvo, son of Senor Don Joaquin Calvo, minister of Costa Rica, and | Francis (“Pete™ Dailey clty editor of a local rewspaper. fought a ring i battle at two o’clock the other morn- ing. An argument which resulted in Cal- vo's challenging Dailey arcse in a tel- { ephone conversation regarding a piece ! of news. Having the choice of wea- | pons, Dailey chose boxing gloves. Combatants and friends went to the scene of combat in two automobiles. | When the combatants met in a se- | cluded corner of the White House grounds selected for the battle, Dailey opened hostilitles with a right swing to Calvo’s eye. Ten minutes later the { crowd was whistling “Come Back to Frin” aud Calvo's seconds were con- veying him to an all-night restaurant tn search of raw beefsteak. Rose Perfume From Paraffin. Paraffin does not figure in the cate- gory of perfumes, but recent investi- | gations shos that it may figure in the category of odors. However absurd it may seem, it is certain that essence of rose may be manufkctured from it. The profits offered by this indus- try are evident at once, if one con- siders that the pure essence of roses 1s sold at 40 cents a drop for the best. As the essence is fully as popular as | it is expensive, the majority of the preparations that are sold in the name of “essence of roses” are nothing but imitations, and not always good ones. The latest product was discovered by accident on the congealing of paraffin with liquid air. As the paraffin solidi- fled it was observed that there floated over its surface an unknown Jliquid containing a new perfume. This per- fume, when reflned was to all intents and purposes ‘“essence of roses.” Be- sides the essence of roses, other per fumes have been obtained by a special process.—Harper's Weekly.

In medieval Germany every cultural lnterest was left to the women and to the church, and men considered it unmanly to learn anything from books. In the sixteenth century the German woman was con- sidered to be decidedly the equal of man and not until the seventeenth cen- tury did she begin to lose ground be- fore the educational rivalry of the other sex.
