It haa often been asked how much
afiuence the wife of a public man
>eara on his political career. This is
hard to «*«imate; bat this much a>
firtain: 'ihe man who comes to Wash-
ington, either as a member of Con-
gress or of some other branch of the
government where his position is one
of ptominence, is very unfortunate if
his wife is not one whom be can trust
to making her way socially. Sot nec-
essarily bein? a great social success,
but capable of mingling with the aver-
rige woman at the national capital.
For, in spite of the fact that a small
percentage of society looks leniently
upon the married couple who are sel-
dom seen in public together, the aver-
age sound American believes in the
comradeship of man and wife. But
when we sum up this question of the
influence of women in statecraft we
