WOMAN WRECKE LOST CALl (Froim the Washington Star) 'MLet me tell you a story," said a courtly man born in 1854 and not old. 'When I came to Washington, that was in 1875, an old lady used to come here to talk with me. :We would sit on a bench in the shade of the lodge. She was old, though sprightly and vivacious, and there was a charm in her way of speaking, and in the ex pression of her face and In her ges tures, which would be hard, if not imi possible to describe. ier hair was white. but her( eyes were bright and merry, and her voice was clear and musical. It was still the voice of a young woman. "It was very easy to understanld that in her youth she had been a wo man of exceptional beauty and charm of mainer.

That war extended outside the 'bounds of so clety and got into politics. It upset the cabinet of a President and played part in thhvarting the presidential hoipes of a foremost statesman and gave the prize to his political rival. It resulted in the recall of at least one foreign iniister to the ilited States. And all that happened back in the first adiministrationi of President Andrew Jacksoll."

This sudden elevation of Mrs. Eaton into the cabinet social circle was resented by the <wives of several of Jackson's secretaries and charges wore made against her of improper Conduct with Eaton rprevious to her narriage to him. The refusal of the ,wives of the cabinet members to rec ognize the wife of his friend angered President Jackson and he tried to coerce- them.
