Washington Will Miss the Fairbanks
A in nn ftlhpf
A New
View-Point
of the Problem
By PRESIDENT S. C. MITCHELL,
University of South Carolina.
WASHINGTON.—In the social life of
the national capital Vlue-Presi-
dent and Mrs. Fairbanks will be great-
ly missed when they leave Washing-
ton, which is expected to be soon, now
that Mr. Fairbanks' term has expired.
The Fairbanks home has been a
center for the dancers and c.mers 'ever
since the tall Indianian entered of-
ficial life here. There is a topular no-
tion that Fairbanks Is cold and dis-
tant Washingtonians often wonder
how this report got such widespread
circulation. Every day hundreds of
visitors, moat of them sightseers, drop
In for a few minutes to see the office
of the vice-president back of the sen-
ate chamber. The door is always
open and Mr. Fairbanks is seldom too
busy to greet his callers. As a host
ho has a reputation second to no other
man In public life.
Mr. Fairbanks' plans for the future
have not been announced. It Is known
among his Intimate friends that he
long has been collecting material for
a history of the life and times of Wil-
liam McKinley. Doubtless the prep-
aration of this work will consume
much of his time In private life.
Next to Mark Hanna, Fairbanks was
the counselor of the McKinley admin-
istration. He was temporary ch*ir-
man of the first convention which
nominated McKinley in 1896 and to
him, therefore, fell the duty of making
the "keynote" speech. McKinley ad-
vanced Senator Fairbanks in every
possible way, and among other honors
made him the American chairman of
the Joint high commission appointed in
1898 to consider commercial reciproc-
ity and other Important questions with
the government of the Dominion oT
Canada. I5ut for the opposition of
stand pat interests in this country,
this commission might have made an
epoch-making record.
Storers to Return to Capital Society
MR AND MRS. BELLAMY STORER
are planning to return to Wash-
ington society. They are having their
beautiful home on Rhode Island ave-
nue renovated, where they will be
ready to receive their friends soon. It
Is added that they will be persona
grata with the new president despite
the Roosevelt-Rellamy Storer incident.
Since Mr. Bellamy Storers recall
from Austria, where he was ambassa
dor before the quarrel with President
Roosevelt, have been living in retire-
ment In Cincinnati, because of their
many friends here.
Mr. Roosevelt met Mr. and Mrs. Bel-
lamy Storer when civil service com-
missioner here, and while Mr. Storer
■was a member of congress from Cin-
cinnati. Mr. Roosevelt, as commis-
sioner, and as assistant secretaty of
the navy, was frequently entertained
at the Storer mansion and was be-
friended by them In many ways. _
Mr. Storer was later appointed am
liassador to Austria by President Mc-
Kinley, the post being especially agree-
able because Mrs. Bellamy Storer was
a devout Catholic and Austria was rec-
ognized as the greatest Catholic court
In the world.
During Mr. Roosevelt's administra-
tion there developed a movement to
have Archbishop Ireland raised to the
rank of cardinal. Mrs. Bellamy
Storer was Interested in the success
of the plan, and there was much cor-
respondence between her and Presi-
dent Roosevelt, which brought the re-
port that the president was interested
himself in having Archbishop Ireland
promoted.
Bellamy Storer was then recalled as
ambassador by President Roosevelt,
and it became known that there had
been a wide breach between them.
The president made all the correspond-
ence with Mrs. Storer public from the
White House and the Storers returned
to the United States and went to Cin-
cinnati to live.
Mis. Bellamy Storer was Maria
Longworth before marriage. She is
an aunt of Representative Nicholas
Longworth, the ex-president's son-in-
law. Sho is well known here In so-
ciety, being particularly friendly with
the Tafts, the Longworths and the
Deweys.
> MUCH mischief has been (lone by the doctrinaire in the
education of the negro as in his attempt to thrust politics
upon liim. I should like to submit the whole question of
negro education anew to experiment.
It goes without saying that right habits are the first
thing for the negro, such as thrift, love of home, obedience to
law, kindliness toward one's neighbor, and general reliability.
We must recognize that the negro just now is of more con-
cern than either politics or social identity with the Saxon.
I would converge, therefore, all the energies of education upon
the training of the negro in tlie^e basal lessons of life. Can it be done?
The answer will depend upon our faith in human nature and the power
of truth to develop man's capacity, and upon our trust in love as the
supreme force operating in human progress. I never falter in my belie
that the negro race can advance in character and in social efficiency.
There have been some signal surprises in races, of late. \\ ltness the
Japanese, the Hungarians, and Finns.
The negro problem in 18G1 had pimply two ends. But to-dn} it is
triangular. Then it was simply northern opinion against southern opin-
ion. A new factor has arisen within the past -10 years, negro opinion.
The negro race is becoming conscious, has developed a leadership of
its own, is analyzing its life and projecting its own ideals. More and
more we must reckon with negro opinion of the negro problem. The
African race in America is no longer to be regarded a.! headless.
Moralization covers the structural factors in the making of the
negro race. If this be the right view, then religious education holds
the key to the situation. It must inform the church, charge the school
with the forccs of light and love, exorcise the politician and the press
of hysterics, and beget sane public opinion upon the race issue.
As to racial adjustment, can religious education reduce friction,
teach to "live and let live," and, in a word, produce racial tolerance?
Racial prejudices spring .out of racial ditrerences, physical and mental.
Iha only resource is to find an agency that can generate sympathy to
onset prejudice. Such is the task of religious education, vibrant with
moral energy and masterful in its purpose. "Religious" must not be here
FASHION
STYLES FOR SPRING
GENERAL RESEMBLANCE TO LAST
YEAR'S MODES.
Tub Fabrics Will Be In Almost In-
numerable Variety—Bordered
Fabrics Are to Be the
One Strong Point.
Well, they are with us—the spring
styles! And moreover they are not
so far removed from last year s modes,
at least in colorings, patterns, weaves
and trimmings. There are really hopes
for the rejuvenation of your last sum-
mer's silk or voile.
Tub fabrics go to extremes. Either
they are very Bheer and semi- trans-
parent. or almost as heavy as novelty
morning dress of bordered chaltle.
In this costume the border has been
touched up by the addition of Una
silk braid, and is used for edging the
sleeves, making the belt and setting
off the front of the jacket. By making
this jacket on a plain lining, finishing
off the bottom with a snug fitting belt,
you can develop a very neat jumper
to wear over a gulmpe. But it will
give best results if employed to make
up bordered wash material like lawn
or gingham for morning wear cn warm
days. The low neck Is now in vogue
for all house dresses.

MISS ETHEL ROOSEVELT, daugh-
ter of ex-President Roosevelt, who
t>ut recently made her debut. Is about
to become engaged to William Phil
lips, the young third assistant secre-
tary of state, according to leport. So
definite Is the information from Miss
Roosevelt's friends concernlug the
state of her affections that guesses
are now being made as to whether the
ex-president's popular daughter will
follow the dictates of her heart soon
or will wait four years upon the
chance of becoming a white house
bride.
While no announcement has been
made of the engagement, It is under-
stood that there is a cordial under-
standing between the two young peo-
ple and that Miss Roosevelt's age is
the only intereference to an earl)
marriage.
Mr. phillips, the lucky man. is per-
sona grata with the family of his in
tended bride. He is one of the young
est men who ever held a position ol
such responsibility. He belongs tc

Teeth
Victims
of Modern
By PROF. SIM WALLACE.
Noted Dental Surgeon ol England.
There is, now, more disease among chil-
dren than was ever the case in the past, and
as a result of this, the molecular structure
of the teeth is spoiled as the teeth become
formed. The perfect tooth, without fis-
sures, or clefts, or pits, is rarely found, ex-
cept among children who have been very
rv. j carefully watched during their years of
rearing. Faulty molecular structure of the
teeth is accentuated by the mischievous
dietary of the children, and the more de-
fective the enamel, in point of superficial
condition, the more predisposed is the
tooth to attract into the pits, or fissures,
those bacterial elements which eventually produce dental caries, or rot-
tenness. Of all the foods which have a bad effect on the teeth, starch and
sugar foods are the worst.
Eat for breakfast, bacon, or bacon and eggs, baked or toasted bread,
fresh fruit, and only drink tea or coffee when you have finished your meal,
not during its course. For lunch or dinner, a meat of some sort, followed
by a sweet pudding (if you must), and then fruit, the reason for which
will be presently explained. For the last meal, meat, (if. again, you
must), ship's biscuit and butter, and an apple. Farinaceous diets, such as
porridge, wheat cakes, and the like, are objectionable, for the reason that
if not "followed by a fruit diet, which cleanses the teeth from deposits of
food matter, the result will be to nullify the action of the gastric juice
glands, the immediate consequence of which will be to deprive the stom-
ach and the digestive organs of their lubricity, with an ultimate reaction
occurring in the teeth.
FOR THE hOME SEAMSTRESS.
Little Matters That Are Worth Keep-
ing in Remembrance.
In joining the edges of lace or em-
broidery the neatest finish Is made by
buttonholing the edges in as tiny a
seam as possible.
Thread will knot less easily if the
end that is broken from the spool Is
run through the eye of the needle.
Instead of laboriously rolling lace,
try putting the finest hemmer on the
machine and hem and hold the lace on
top as loosely as you can at the same
time. The work Is quickly done, and
if a fine thread and needle and a small
stitch are used looks almost as well
and wears better than when sewed by
hand.
In cutting material away under lace
insertion there is less danger of snip-
ping the threads of the lace If a stiff
piece of pasteboard Is cut wide enough
to slip along between the lace and the
material. This works better if one end
Is rounded.
Wash flannel and linen for blouses
should always be shrunk before being
cut. They may not look quite so well
the first time of wearing, but they look
much better thereafter.
Love Brings Husband to Wife's Faith
. . i.. . _ e tVw* ^ ah t b nf tllPI 1
SOCIETY In Washington as in at
least two other cities of the United
States has been peculiarly interested
in the announcement that Evelyn
Walsh McLean, daughter of Thomas
Walsh, the Colorado mining king, has
brought her husband. Edward B. Mc-
Lean. son of Publisher John R.
of the Cincinnati Enquirer to the to-
man Catholic faith. The date of the
ceremony which is to bring the young
Scotch husband Into the church o his
Irish-American wife has not jet been
announced.
Evelyn Walsh had been in the pub-
lic eye to an unusual degree before
her marriage last August to young
McLean. Each of the young people
has a few millions on hand right now,
without wailing for the death of theii
respective parents, which will boost
the family bank account up to pretty
nearly 1100,000,000.
The Walsh-McLean engagement had
been announced, the respective papas
had given their consent, the date had
been announced and the bride s father
had announced his intention to expend
$50,000 in the laudable purpose ol
making his daughter s nuptials the
most torrid and lavish stunt in the rec-
ords of western society At the last
moment, however, the young pair
smashed the arrangements and incl
dentally saved the Walsh cssh by tak-
ing matters into their own hands, elop-
ing with only a chauffeur and a group
of valets and maids in the party, and
getting married as quietly as possible.
Then "Tom" Walsh and the readers of
the newspapers were taken into the
secret, the bride's costume was de-
scribed at length to a regiment of in-
terested correspondents, the parental
forgiveness arrived promptly and the
matrimonial expense money was given
I to charity.
Little
Psychol-
ogy
Dangerous
By EMILY COLE.
Verily, a little psychology iij a dangerous
thing. Everv woman doc« not know, but it
behooves her to learn, that the most hazard-
ous thing one can do to a perfectly good
and altogether smooth-running love affair
is to attempt to analyze it. It is well to
remember that no sort of human affection,
no sort of human love, and above all else
no sort of sex love—and I care not how
pure, how beautiful, how holy that senti-
ment is—can survive the scientific search-
light without becoming a shriveled, dis-
torted and hideous thing. As the dissectors
knife and scalpel may in a thrice make
havoc of the beautiful Fliryne herself; as the practical hand of the
botanist in his quest for dry and arid knowledge, may pluck the delicately
fashioned orchid to tatters—so may a man and woman by dissection de-
stroy the fair form of love, and tear to tatters the "red, red rose" of pas-
sionate attachment.
It is clearly, then, the better part of a woman's wisdom, when in love,
to give no encouragement to this pastime, only too often a favorite one
with young lovers. For while a woman can perhaps psychologize herself
and her love for a man, and his love for her, in all the degrees from boil-
ing point down to that frigid temperature where liquid air is said to boil
upon ice; and while she can do it with impunity as regards her own
heart and her own unalterable passion—just as when she was a little
girl she consistently disemboweled her doll to find it stuffed with sawdust,
but loved it none the less for that—the same is not true of a man.

wools. The sheer weaves resemble
veilings; In fact, cotton voile, which
Is a wondrously clever imitation of
marquisette, is one of the novelties.
On the other hand, linens and crashes
are extremely heavy and rough look-
ing, suited admirably to tailored ef-
fects.
Voiles (call them by whatever fancy
name you will, they are veilings of one
sort or another)—and the silks all
show the border. And of the variety
of borders there is practically no end.
In fact, the bordered fabric is the one
you must take into consideration in
planning your spring and summer
wardrobe, for without at least one
frock made from boredered material
you will feel decidedly out of the fash-
Ion running.
Enormous latitude Is allowed In the
matter of spring wraps. There are
long coats and short coats, loose coats
and tight coats, silk coats and cloth
coats, but a safe rule is to select a coat
which shows the normal waist line
quite clearly and does not hide hips
or curves. There is a distinct ten-
dency to emphasize the waist line,
which has been hidden by loose flow-
ing raiment all winter. Coat sleeves
are long, and little braiding Is seen.
The new hats show surprisingly
little change from last season's. The
tailored hats aro very small and made
of fine supple straws like milan. The
white hat, or rather the natural yel-
lowish milan straw, trimmed with vel-
vet ribbon, black, brown or blue, to
match the tallortd suit, stiff wings
and round, flat carbuchlns is again In
vogue and these arj oblong, not round,
turbans.
The flower-trimmed hats are of me-
dium size, In white and delicately
tinted flowers, with flat, regular brimB,
low crowps, much built up with flow-
eds. Lilacs, wisteria, sweet peas, hya-
cinths and the liner flowers seem more
smart than roses. The Charlotte Cor-
day hat holds its own wonderfully for
very dressy wear and is made with a
drapery of net, edged with lace, over
a brim that looks for all the world
like a lattice work of wire, covered
with white ribbon. Huge crushed pink
roses ar3 employed to trim this hat, or
soft ribbon with tassel ends.
The simple design shown Is for a

Case Designed for the Care of Hatpins
and Brooches.
Our sketch illustrates a particularly
useful case for holding hatpins and
brooches. It can be made from any
small remnant of silk or brocade, and
the interior lined with soft wash-
leather. The back portion should be
stiffened with thin cardboard and the
chief feature of the case is, the nar-
row cushion arranged down the center
on which brooches may be easily
pinned and held firmly in their places.
The little diagram at the top (showing
a section of the case) explains the
way in which the cushion should be
made. The leather should be sown
tightly down on one side, and then a
roll of cotton-wool placed between it
and the back of the case, and the
leather sewn down a second time, no

brooches can be secured. There is
space on either side for two or three
hatpins, and the flaps fold over and
are tied with ribbons. The dotted line
on the right hand side indicates ono
of the ribbons sewn to the side of the
case under the smaller fold-over flap.
The lower sketch illustrates the
case closed, with initials, and a simple
floral design worked in silks on the
outer side. The wash-leather lining
will keep the brooches and pins nice
