ROOT AND OFFICIAL VERBIAGE Great lawyer and successful diplo mat that Elihu Root is recognized as being, it is a faot little known that the verbiage of the diplomatic papers bear ing his name is not his own. A close friend of his in the senate commented upon this yesterday as an interesting circumstance, and pointed out the fact that Mr. Root's long experience at the bar accounts for his refusal to compose the Important papers which he has to sign as secretary of state. As a lawyer of large practice he acquired the habit of directness and incislveness, which is ill suited to the ways and customs of diplomacy. Realizing this fully, it was not long after Mr. Root assumed the duties of secretary of state that he discovered that the safest course for him to pursue would be to have one of his assistants clothe in the formal and stilted language of diplomacy every communication of importance he had to make to a foreign power. Accordingly he has Assistant Secretary Adee, who has been longer in the state department than any other high official there, compose these communications. Mr. Root blocks them out, giving clearly, distinctly and incisively his ideas, and then turns them over to Mr. Adee, who produces a paper that conforms most minutely to all of the requirements of diplomatic forms and customs, and which at the same time conveys accurately the meaning and Intent of Mr. Root.

Some years ago a young New York woman, Mrs. Hand, was left with her self and four sons to provide for. She was a slim, timid little woman, Innocent hearted as a child in worldly ex perience. She was, however, an ex cellent musician and played the piano admirably. After thinking things over she resolved to make the work she could do best earn a living for her. She began by playing the piano for club meetings, receptions and private parties, getting paid, of course, for her services. She went then a step further and formed the Landon quartet, conADA LANDOX HAND. listing of piano and stringed Instru ments, she being leader and director. Then she sought for patrons, but they were slow In coming at first. There was a prejudice against women as orchestra leaders which Mrs. Hand had to overcome, la consequence of It being forced to work twice as hard as a man would have done to achieve results. Now, after success has come, the woman musical director confesses that in the days of her early struggles there were times when she did not have enough to eat. But no matter! She was always bright and smiling to the world ami always becomingly dressed, which goes a long way in a business woman's favor. She strove for engagements by all honest means in her power, and now success has cie to her. She enlarged her orchestra gradually. She Is a member of the Musicians' union. She ia proba bly the only woman leader of a male orchestra in this country. What are called In society the "best people" are her friends and patrons, and the dark eyed, pretty little woman now reaps the just reward of hanging on and working hard for one object.
