WASHINGTON LETTER WOMAN AND FASHION

Special Correspondence.!
Dr. P. M. Rixey contIcv.es to visit the
White House daily, as he used to do
Burin.? the administration of President
MeKinley. President and Mrs. Roose
velt have made no selection of a family
physician, and Dr. Rixey occupies that
position. Whether he will remain in
that capacity when he becomes sur
geon general of the navy is not known,
phe late Dr. Bates, surgeon general of
the army, was the first pliysieian to
President and Mrs. MeKinley. When
he died. Dr. Leonard Wood, now Gen
eral Wood, was designated to the posi
tion. He remained until the breaking
out of the war with Spain, when he
went to the front as colonel of the
rough riders. Dr. Sternberg, surgeon
general of the army, was nert looking
after the health of President and Mrs.
MeKinley, but only for a short time,
when he was succeeded by Dr. Rixey.
The latter called at the White House
daily for three years.
Currency to Send Throrgl Malls.
' The recent robbery of the Chicago
postoffice and the possibility that the
robbers will dispose of $74,000 worth of
stolen stamps has called attention
afresh to the need of some kind of sub
sidiary currency which can be sent
through the mails. It was never In
tended that stamps be used as money,
yet the enormous growth of the mail
order business has really brought that
result about. The mail order con
cerns accumulate large quantities of
stamps, and to convert them Into mon
ey often have to sell at a discount.
Thus a "stamp trade" has sprung up
which enables burglars to dispose of
stolen stamps with little danger of de
tection. The next congress will doubt
less be called upon to consider plana
for relieving this situation.
Miss Roosevelt's Chums. i
Miss Harriet Wadsworth of New
York, daughter of Representative
Wadsworth. will be a close contempo
rary of Miss Roosevelt, as will be also
Miss Helen Mackay-Smith and Miss
Mathilde Townsend.
Miss Mackay-Smith Is the eldest
daughter of Rev. Dr. Mackay-Smith,
who is in charge of the quaint colonial
church at Washington, St. John's,
which has been the scene of so many
historic ceremonies and Is one of the
principal places of interest to all sight
seers In Washington.
Miss Townsend will make her debut
In December, and has Just returned
from Europe, where, with her mother,
she has spent the past six months,
having been much admired in Paris
and at the German baths.
The District Budget.
The District commissioners have
transmitted to the secretary of the
treasury their estimates of the appro
priations that will be needed for the
support of the government of the Dis
trict for the fiscal year ending June 30,
"1903. The sum asked is $10,439,8S1.87.
The sum asked for the preceding year
was $9,0S0,703.94, and the sum appro
priated was $7,532,519.31. The secre
tary of the treasury will forward the
estimates to congress.
In making public the estimates Com
missioner Macfarland stated that the
commissioners had followed this year,
as last, the policy of asking for what is
really necessary, regardless of the pos
sible deficit due to the diversion of Dis
trict funds by congress to street exten
sion purposes.
Isthmian Canal Commission.
The Isthmian canal commission got
together here and is now hard at work
finishing up its report, which it prom
ises to have in the president's hand3
long enough in advance of the meeting
of congress to enable him to make use
of It in preparing his annual message.
The president of the Panama Canal
. company Is here trying to get the com
mission to report in favor of buying
his canal. It will be remembered that
In Its preliminary report made to Pres
ident MeKinley last year the commis
sion declared against such a purchase.
President Garfield's Widow.
Word comes from the Mentor (O.)
farm of the Garfields that the widow of
the former president, who is now well
' on In years, is in a serious condition of
ill health. Her only daughter, the little
Mollie of the White House years ago, j
now Mrs. J. Stanley Brown and the j
mother of several children, has gone
with her family and mother to Califor
: nla for the possible benefit of the latter. '
They have leased for the winter a beau
jtiful cottage on Orange Grove avenue
In Pasadena.
S The Bonapartes.
Mrs. Jerome Bonaparte and her son,
Mr. Jerome N. Bonaparte, arrived at
Itheir Washington home the other day, j
'after a visit of several, months to the
jCount and Countess de Moltke-Huit-xeldt,
at their estate in Glorup, Den- 1
"mark. Mr. Bonaparte Is the third of
that name to be known in this country
and Is the great-grandson of Jerome ;
Bonaparte, the Corslcan, and younger j
brother of Napoleon I., "who, in 1803, j
married the beautiful Baltimorean,
Miss Elizabeth Patterson.
By building some bedchambers in the
attic for women servants the presiden
tial family have contrived to settle j
themselves comfortably in the White :
House and reserve one commodious ;
chamber fur guests. Doubtless there J
will be times when it would be conven
ient to have two or more guest cham
bers, but the Roosevelts may be trusted
to get along with such domestic diffl-
Jcultlea without complaining.

Tan Boots and Shoes.
Brown boots and shoes are Invaria
bly, let it be remembered, the most cor
rect and convenient footgear when
traveling, for obvious reasons, and.
when well made, can no longer have
the reproach leveled at them of being
clumsy or apparently Increasing the
size of the foot. The American Shoe
company and. Indeed, most of the best
bootmakers have now brought the
brown shoe and boot to a point of per
fection in shape and color which leaves
nothing to be desired by the most fas
tidious, and in this connection It Is
worth remarking that brown stockings
should always match the tone of
leather In one's boot or shoe, the union
of color In both being one of those de
tails which a well dressed woman will
be careful to consider.

Fabrics Must Be Furry.
Many fabrics known as drap de zlb
eline are exaggerated in their silky and
furry appearance to an exceptional de
gree, while one or two colors are inter
mingled on ground colors of grays, mas
tic, Sevres blues, fraise cerassees and
browns. Long white or black hairs ap
pear to float over the whole mixture,
and indescribable checks, broken
stripes, colored knotted woolen spots,
are interwoven on this novelty. A short
pile satin faced beaver cloth known aa
drap de panne is equally favored with
a coarse canvas cloth.
Blouse and Norfolk Jackets.
Taking the place with many women
of the Eton and bolero, which still,
however, hold favor among autumn
robes, are the blouse jackets with turn
down Napoleon collar, or one in Aiglon
shape, with or without the skirt pep
lum, cut In circular form, or the new
Norfolk Jacket, made with silk stitch
ed, adjustable plaits that taper from
beneath the edges of a shaped yoke to
the waist. A narrow stitched belt de
fines the slight dip at the front, and
the close sleeves are made with two
seams.
