AN ASTONISnED 'MOnISTE. Both Mrs. li'->oRovolt1 and Mlioi Alice Roosevelt h1avo proved them Holvos fairninded and possessors of a sense of humor.

To the gallant Roosevelt all t hinigs n11 possible, and so forsoothl, Miss Bessie M~ulhall, of Olahloma, hieraled as ai beauty, is ahout to dlescenid upon0 social Washington.
