SOCIAL LIFE RUN BY RIGID RULES Washington Hostesses Watch Their Step. Most Washington.--Hostesses who come Info this capital dty with the new administration are certain to find that their social knowledge, however extensive it may be, is not adequate to take care of every situation likely to arise during tbelr stay. Occasions of ceremony in the national capital follow certain rules and regulations, ignorance of which often brings humiliation; and indifference to those rules calls down stern criticism upon theoffenuer. Indeed, It Is the wise newcomer who acquaints herself with the rules. By so doing she will not only simplify life for everyone, but will also save herself much embarrassment. Washington is different from European capitals in this respect. On tbe continent when statesmen are dined and feted, there is a "protocol" which assigns to every one hie or her relative rank, and does so with the official sanction of tbe government No such court of appeals exists In ihe capital of this country. There are available in the State department certain rules and regulations. The department, however, refuses to be quoted as an authority and supplies no written lists. It is up to the Individual to do the proper thing. And the proper thing to the uninitiated at times presents a real problem. Foreign ambassadors and ministers are not, as Lincoln is said to have been; "Willing to follow anyone who wants to precede them." They represent their country or their rulers, whose dignity they are responsible for upholding in their own persons. To use the words of a clever and distinguished ambassador: "Since the Good God made us so that we cannot get through the door at once, there must be precedence." Each year Washington sees «ea come here In official positions of great importance. They Represent sovereign states, each one proud of Its dignity. An affront to them is an affront to those statea. Thus the wives of Washington «fficlals are faced by conditions not dupli rated anywhere. And they soon come to know that knowledge of the raak of officials at dinners is necessary, MM merely in giving entertainments. t>m even in attending those given by others.

The entire vocabulary of "panoptic English" can be printed on the back of a single sheet of notepaper and seen at a glance, hence its name "panoptic."

When the reservations were marked off, nobody dreamed that some day the hills given to the Osages would be dotted with oil derricks and the prairie set aside for the Quapaws would yield sine and lead as well as hay. Today the Osages are the richest people on earth, the 2.229 "headrights" or estates In the tribe exceeding $lw 1,000 each in value. Unlike the Quapaws, the Osages hold their wealth ii\ common. The lead and sine holdings of the Quapaws bring more than 11,500.000 In royalties to fts restricted members of the tribe, but marriage and inheritance have served to distribute the money generally among the oilier members. v Once Penniless, Now Rich. . Mrs. Anna Beaver Bear Hallatn, re* strlcted owner of land on which Is located the Anna Beaver mine, owned by Harry Payne Whitney of New York, gets some of the largest royalty payments. For several months her Income from the metals plied up at the rate of STrfhooo a month. Four years ago she was almost penniless. The Quapaws were a nomadic tribe when they were placed on their present reservation In 1887. The land was valued at a dime an acre by white men. Under tbe treaty by which the tribe was given tbe reservation, the government, "In view of their wretched and impoverished condition," agreed to move the Quapaws to their new home and to furnish them live stock, farm Implements, firearms and other equipment. Nothing except hay was produced on the tribe's new land. White men leased It paying the Indians a pittance. The town of Quapaw sprang up and became the greatest hay shipping point in the world for a time. The Indians cared nothing for the hay, the land or much of anything else. They wanted to fish and hunt and to left alone. Finds Zinc Ore. v (a 1905 zinc ore was found while a water welt was being drilled on the land of Felix Dardene, a Quapaw Indian. Tbe driller knew the metal !n tbe cuttings from his drill denoted a rich stake, but he lacked the business sense to take advantage of the opportunity to win a Kreiit fortune. He quit work and drove to Baxter Springs, Kiin., where tie spread tlie news. A bystander in one of the crowds the driller drew slipped awa> and visited Dnrdene. leasing all his land and much surrounding It. lie made a fortune. It has meant something to be an Osage Indian wltb a large family born prior to 11107. when tbe tribal allotment of lands was made. Each Osage was given more than 700 acres that year. A mna with a wife and five children bad control of ft.OOO acres ot land and received $21,000 quaiterly until the eldest child became of age."
