Cogent Reasons Why Their Presence May Be Inconvenient at Stations. “A dispatch in The Star recently with reference to the presence of the wives of army and navy officers at Manila and Ca- vite,” sald a naval officer of high rank, “reminds me of a predicament in which Bome were placed in 1876, in the Mediter- Tansan. “Quite a fleet of American war vessels attached to the European station had ren- dezvoused along the French coast in the vicinity of Nice. The officers expectad to remain indefinitely, making all preparations for a protracted stay. The wives of sev- eral awaited the arrival of the fleet. Othars were sent for, and quarters at Nice ar- ranged. if “Then, ike a thunder clap in a clear sky, came the news of the captur2 of the Vir- ginius by a Spanish man-of-war and the subsequent execution of a hundred odd Americans by the Spaniards at Santiago de Cuba. The fleet received dispatches to make all possible speed for Key Weat, where, {t will be remembered, this govern- ment concentrated {ts naval force. “There was consternation among the offi- cers whose wives wer ashore, and dismay among the latt: Many of the officers did not have the privilege of a parting with their consorts, while the wives of several officers who had just arrived or were en route did not even see their husbands. In fact, aside from these sentimental reasons, the situa- tion was very unfortunate. Many of ths ladies were insufficiently supp!ied with funds, and, until assistance came from other sources, were in a desperate plight. This episode will be remembered by those living of the officers who were then on that sta- tion, and though the recollection:may now oceasion a smile, it was on the other side of the face at that time. “Thera is every reason why the wives of naval officers should remain at home dur- ing the period of their husbands’ service. ‘This separation is an apparent hardship only, for the reason that, at the time of their marriage, they well knew what was before them, and, like the minister's and the doctor’s wives, they took their hus- bands subject to their professional duties. “The personnel bill, im its operations, in wiping out the distinction between the en- gineer corps and ths line, is not giving per- fect satisfaction fn all quarters, and {t can- not be expected to do so as yet. The older line officers are the principal ones who can- not reconcile the radical elfmination of tha barrier of rank which once existed. The engineer corps now bear the actual rank of captain, etc., as to title, and not rela- tive, and it makes a big, differance in a man’s feelings whether hej/be addressed as ‘Captain " or just plain ‘Mr.’ or ‘Chief Engineer.’ A line officer at present would be lost in the mechanical Intricactes of his ship, for on some of the larger war vessels there are several htindred different kinds of steam and electrical engines. Psrsonal- ly, I approve of the enactment, and I be- Neve in time the slight differences now ex- isting will be overcoms and complete satis- faction will result; that is,.as complete as the diverse conditions will admit. Our ca- dots will graduate ag bot line and engi- neer officers, and Wé offthe old school might as well make up our minds first as last that the modern man-of-war is yearly becoming more and more of a plece of float- ing machinery and Tess of a ship. It ts a herd ill i puailow, bat it must, go down, nd the ‘old sea dog’ will soon b é of romantic fact and fiction.” "oature aoe Rated Low. From the Baltimore American.

OTHER TIMELY TOPICS The ambassadorial dinners and a few others have be2n the feature of the week until last night, when the President was host and the members of the Philippine commission and the cabinet his guests. The coming week has about the same pro- gram, and when it is concluded it would seem that nearly everybody of official or social note has broken bread at each others’ table. The entertaining score has averaged up better than for many years back, and n2arly all the more prominent movers in the polite world will start next season with a clean slate. By next fall, however, there may not be such a fervid disposition to be counted among the intimates of this one or that one now high in the official st, as there will be manifested a disposition to make friends with the new powers whose shadows may be discerned before society meets again in this city at the festal board. More than that, there are bright anticipa- tions, and r2asonable ones, too, of the new hosts and hostesses who will preside over the big houses now approaching comple- tion in the West End. Many early de- partures have been made and many more are exp2cted within the coming month for Europe, all of which include a more or less lengthy stay in Paris. June, however, is the favorite month for crossing and, unless for those with an unlimited prospect of galety on the other side, it takas pretty strong reasons to tempt them away from Washington during our prettiest season. With all the talk of Europe, however, one hears just as many home summer plans discussed as ever, and the desirabliity of the Jersey or the Maine coast comes up with startling emphasis when it is neces- sary to make a selection of a dwelling place thereon befora the choice places are all taken. New gowns and hats are for the moment the most important tople in the feminine mind and heart. Without the results are satisfactory, participation in all or any of the Easter plsasures will be robbed of their keenest joy. Presumably the Easter season will Jikely run mostly to dances and weddings and naturally there is nothing especially novel about either of these forms of festivity, but as there are few spectacles with more all- around enjoyment than a wedding. so there has not yet been discovered an amusement more charming than dancing. Of the more notable of these meetings planned, the Easter Monday ball at the home of the Secretary of War, the Wednesday ball at Corcoran house, with the subcription cotillion, and the Chevy Chase Hunt ball fixed for two other nights the same week, there is not much left to be desired in the dancing line. Of the after Easter weddings that of Miss Jane Abert and Mr. J. P. Story, jr., will be the first. The date is Wednesday, April 18, and Miss Bessie Glover and Miss Curry Conally will be among the bride's attendants. Miss Eliza- beth Blount and Rev. Eugene Shippen of the First Church, Dorchester, Mass., have also chosen the 18th. The ceremony is to be an evening one, and will take place at the Oaks, the Georgetown home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry F. Blount, and a large number of friends will be present at the reception, which will last from 8 to 11. Rev. Edward Everett Hale will officiate. One of the reasons alleged for the few literary or musical events of the Lenten season {ts the prevalence of whist playing among the women, Another good reason might be that the price of the tickets for drawing-room recitals of any kind is cer- tainly begruded except when the proceeds are to go to charity. But there is no doubt about the popularity of whist. There are some devotees of the game who give the most part of three or four days each week, others find it hard to Jeave one day for something else, while a few really resolute souls, with a dim recollection of other demands, have determined to give one whole day to the game and no more. But this last resolve, with the pressure brought to bear upon delinquents, takes courage—and of the sort required to re- fuse the tempting balt of being a “pa- troness,’’ which is usually another name for buying or selling tickets. The Secretary cf State and Mrs. Hay ave a dinner last night, when their guests Included Miss Sibyl Pauncefote, Baron Ge- vers, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon-Cumming, Col. and Mrs. Clarence Edwards, Co}. and Mrs. Lee, Miss McMillan and the Misses Hay.
