SOCIAL SEASON IN WASHINGTON REACHES PEAK j Nation’s Capital Nears Fatigue Point in Gaiety Whirl of Four Months. YAWNS ARE STIFLED ■WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.—Lord and ladies of the capital’s mansions are encountering difficulties in their efforts to suppress judicious yawns, born of fatigue, in the wake of the most strenuous social season Washington has ever known. Four months' high temperature social fever has now developed a sudden ease of social dodrums. Not that the round of functions has lessened perceptibly, but that the functions themselves fail to function with their former fund of finesse. Milady trips behind the palm plant, and, bidden by its fronds, gives way to a titan yawn and then hastens back to her guests, few noting that her winsome smile is more histrionic than sincere. The men, poor fellows, have risen to noble heights in their endeavors to “see this thing through,” and they are to be found night after night at luncheon and tea and tete-a-tete in seemingly endless succession, living up to their vows chatting with demure mademoiselles or with the elderly matrons who grace the picturesque assemblages that hold forth every day and night in every embassy, legation, delegation and in the homes of the elite. CELLAR GOODS STOCKS ALSO PUT TO TEST. None had thought the conference on limitation of armaments would last so long. None had thought their healthy stocks of cellar goods would be called upon to last so long. And thus those more generous hosts dispensed of their liquid treasure long before the round of gayetles had come to an end. There is no longer the attraction at their receptions that there was wont to be in the days before New Year loomed. They have been socially shelved, and in their places now entertain the lords and ladies who dealt out their exhilarating beverages frugally. The tedium that has settled Itself down npon Washington Is being overridden with characteristic American resourcefulness. American ladies who are called upon to entertain foreign dignitaries and their wives on occasion after occasion do so with that winning air and pleasantry that Europeans marvel upon. Though the “air" may be more or loss dramatic it is nevertheless never allowed to waver, and the foreign ladies and gentlemen can detect no flaw in the performance that nightly is staged In Washington. The whole situation has been reduced to a telepathic understanding, and as a consequence hostesses think twice these latter days before sending out invitations to unsuspecting victims. Mercy is at last creeping into that merciless estate —the aristocracy. “HERE’S LOUR HAT, DON’T BE IN HURRY." Perceiving folk are’ quick to understand that the question flung back and forth in almost every mansion household —by the madame from her boudoir to the master in his study—is, "My dear, when do you suppose our guests will decide to go home?” The answer is inevitably, “Let us hope they go soon, my dear Dencedly jolly folk they are, but damnably boring—what?” Nobility never before graced the national capital as it has charmed it these past four months. Princes and princesses, titled statesmen, elegant ladies, distinguished delegates, ambassadors and ministers frequent the city and lend added color t granted charm. Hostesses and a; -g hostesses were not Blow to take itage of the occasion. Matrons have \. --i with one another to entertain the debonair gentlemen an. their dainty escorts. Engravers are still doing a rushing business. Lecding caravansaries have not enjoyed a quiet evening since Nov. 11, their ballrooms and dining-rooms having been dated up for weeks in advance. Every delegate entertained first at luncheon, then at dinner and then at formal evenings each of the other delegations, then each of the delegates individually, and then on down through the entire diplomatic corps. The Senators had their turn, too, and presided over countless functions. HONORED GUESTS AT GAY AFFAIRS.
Princa and Princess Blbesco, Princess C'antacuzene. Prince and Princess Lubormirskl, Prince and Princess Andrea Boncompagni, Baroness de Cartier d9 Marohienne, Lord and Lady I.ee of Fareham, Count and Countess Szechenyi were and still remain the honored guests at an endless chain of gay affairs.

How to Make Pine Cough Syrup at Home Ea* no equal for prompt revolts. Takes but a moment to prepare, and saves you about $2.
Pine is used in nearly all prescriptions and remedies for coughs. The reason is that pine contains several elements that have a remarkable effect in soothing and healing the membranes of the throat and chest. Pine cough syrups are combinations of pine and syrup. The “syrup” part is usually plain sugar syrup. To make the best pine cough remedy that money can buv, put 2% ounces of Pinex in a pint bottle, and fill up with home-made sugar syrup. Or you can use clarified molasses, honey, or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup. Either way, you make a full pintmore than you can buy ready-made for three times the money. It is pure, good and tastes very pleasant. You can feel this take hold of a cough or cold in a way that means business. The cough may be dry, hoarse and tight, or may he persistently loose from the formation of phlegm. The cause is the same—inflamed membranes—and this Pinex and Syrup combination will stop it —usually in 24 hours or less. Splendid, too, for bronchial asthma, hoarseness. or any ordinary throat ailment. Pinex is a highly concentrated compound of genuine Norway pine extract, and is famous the world over for its prompt effect upon coughs. Beware of substitutes. Ask your druggist for “2y g ounces of Pinex” with directions, and don’t accept anything else. Guaranteed to give absolute satisfaction or money refunded* The Pinex Cos, Ft.
