That, of course. means when Lady Astor and her career have become history, and she has thus the consolation of knowing that though at present denied a place in the haliy qf legislautre, her por- trait will, when she has gone hence, be triumphantly restored to the walls of the chamber of which she was the first woman member.

This particular group of needlewomen represents a patriotic assoctation which worked all through the Revolution in keeping soldiers and sallors supplied with woolens, and as a rule its members are lineal descendants of these “mothers” of the Nation. Sewing classes affiliated with the fresh air fund ef the Cathe- dral of St. John the Divine meet every Wednesday morning from No- vember until May in the ljttle Stan- ton street pro-cathedral basement.

Mrs. Young is a noted sculptor, and had won her laurels in the art world before she married Capt. Scott, later Sir Robert Soott. She has one son, Peter Scott, now a cadet In the royal traiping academy at Woolwich. Mr. Richard Pepnoyer of Buriingame, formerly of the American foreign serv- has done what seemed inevitable when he married the widow of the late ount Ingrestre, whose ouly son is Earl of Shrewsbury, premier earl of England and Ireland. He has taken up residence permanently in Staffordshire and severed his comnec- tion with the State Department. After his marriage Mr. Pennoyer had all sorts of difficulties about the exalted rank of his wife, and that he as a commoner, and an alien at that, could not be in- luded in the same grouping. He could not for that reason be assigned to any capital save a republican one and he went from Berlin to Lisbon and thence to Paris, while his wife, formeriy Lady Winnefred Ingrestre, sister of the Mar- quis of Anglesey, who is \. land three-fourths of the year by her obligations as guardian of her 9-year-old son. Resigning his diplomatic post, Mr. Pennoyer purchased a marvelous thir- teenth century fortress, St. Donat, Cas- tle, on the Bristol Channel, and in the most picturesque part of Glamorgan, with the wild regions ef Devon in plain view. Even this ha however, proved too far away from the youns earls tenantry, and theugh nearly half a mii- llen dellars worth spent to moderaize this massive stronghold, it has ner been placed on the market for sale. Mr. Pen- noyer now epends his time principally in London, with week ends at Ingrestre Hall, one of the show places of Stafford- shire, and in the family of the Earls of Shrewsbury since the War of the Roses. AMr. Paul Pennoyer, younger brother of the former diplomat, who married the voungest daughter of Mr. J. Plerpont Morgan, may purchase St. Donat's. Ars. Beatrice Fox, wife of Dr. Web- ster Fox of Philadelphia, who was the guest of honor at the recent re- ception given in New York by the Port Society for the Washington-Sul- Brave members, is the godchild of Princess Beatrice, one of the few sur- viving daughters of Queen Victoria, and (s beth through blood and mar- riey'e @ descendant of the eminent Br!lih statesman, Charles James Fox. Mrs. Fox has been liviag in the Quaker City about 10 years amd is president of the Imperial Crder of the Daughters of the British Empire, and as such represented her wing of the English-speaking Union at th Port Society fete. Dr. Fox s an em nent sclentist invited to this coun- try and is about to become a citizen of Philadeiphia. Judge Alton B.

Sengtor and Mrs. Charles Samuel Deneen of Chicago have been living at the New Wiilard Hotel the greater pert of the Winter, and to the large cirele of friends they had already possessed in the Tllinois contingent they now eount acquaintances from every State and In all the walks of officlaldem. They have, however, maintajned their handsome home in West Sixty-first place, Chieago and their only unmarried daughter, Miss Bing Denesn. has been acting as chate- laine In her mother's absence. She will, however, soon confide the man- sion to care takers and will join her parents here for a brief glimpse into the post-Easter gayeties. To thousands of old-time friends the former covernor and present lawyers in 1ilinois is known as a name which h g since his coll days al McKendree, in St Clair Coynty, 11 At thix time was— | and his close friends say is even yet— the statesman an adept in the noble art of sef-defense. He can use his fists with overpowering force and held the championship in McKendree during his entire scholastic career. Senator Deneen believes in the set- tling of disputes with the fists, and early in his career he became the inveterate epemy of fire arms carried on the person. The Capital will no doubt enthusiastically wejcome such & champion, and such a reputation sustained by any number of recorded achievements cannot fail to make for peace in the turbulence of debute and committee sparrings. Senator and Mrs. Deneen are both natives of rural Illinois, but all their married life, until their departure | for Bpringfield in 180y, when Mr. | Deenen was elected governor, was spent In a pretty little cottage in the South Side of Chicago. Here their four children were bors—a son, Charles Ashley Deneen, and three daughters— all of whom, except Miss Bina Deneen, are married and live near their parents | in Chicago. Senator Deneen springs ! from the oldest ploneer stock abgut the lake regions and is the lineal de- scendant of that French ploneer, Jacques De Nesne, who came from a noted province In central France and took up land in what was then French territory along Lake St. Clair. This was in the late seventeenth cemtury, | and when the English took possession | of the rezion the name gradually be- | came anglicized in spelling as weil as_pronounciation. Senator Deneen descends ulso from pioneer Methodist ministers of the lake country. His gradfather, Rev William Deneen, was a circuit rider in the opening 19th century and his parish was co-extensive with the state of Illinois. Through his mother, who wgs Miss Mary Frances Ashley. the Illinols Senator comes from hon- ared founders of Ohio. His son and second daughter bear his mother's {name, young Charles Deneen being ibetter ‘known as Ashley than as Charles. Mrs. Deneen was before hev mar- riage Miss Bina Day Maloney of Fort Carroll, 1ll, and the marrisge oc- curred in 1891. Like her husband, Mrs. Deneen is a fervent member of | the Methodist faith and she is among |those who are counted as founders |and consistent supporters of a beau- tiful edifice in Englewood which the Deneens have attended all their mar- ried iife. Englewood was rather re- mote from the center of things in the early 80s and the neighborhood was sparcely settled. They hecame pioneers not only of the Englewood Methodist Church but 2180 of that now handsome and thriving suburb. Mrs. Deneen is a home-loving person who has not taken the active part in political affairs which nearly all Mtddle West Women play, but nevertheless she has been a potent force and has a powerful | contingent of supporters in ber inter- pretation of the wifély dutfes’of a public man.

SWEDISH WOMEN WIN EQUAL PAY WITH MEN Budget Carries Recommendation for Similar Salaries of Fed- eral Employes. Correspondence of the Associated Press. STOCKHOLM, February 9.—Swe- den's working women have scored an Important victory through the official resognitien by the government of the principle of equal pay for men and women in the employ of the state. The recognit appears in the form of a recommendation submitted to the Riksdag by Minister of Finance Thorsson, along with the estimate for the next state budget. In justifying his preposal Mr. Thorsson points out that the civil service law virtually gives women the same privileges and responsibili- ties as men, so far us the actual work and it is only logical, therefore, that the salary of any #lven position should remai con- stant, whether the service is ren- dered by a man or a woman What makes the yictory for the women the more striking is the fact that the budget estimate, in spite of the strictest scrutiny of every item, will involve an estimated ture of $11,600000 more year. This means that, although new or increased taxesare conte plated, all hope for any early tax re. duction must be abandoned The minister of finance charac- terizes the economic situation in Swe- den as generally good. He looks for stable conditions during the next fi cal year and says thag, if there is any change, it is likely to be an im- provement no {SOVIET SLASHES TAXES OF FARMS 40 PER CENT Government Also Will Bear Risk of Crop Losses in Georgia, Parliament Hears.
