WASHINGTON, Sept. 7—Few
sections of the country are
more fascinating that the Southwest j
and few members of the official world
create so much attention as those
from the former domain of Spain. The i
advent of Judge Fall, as he will al-1
ways be known even though he has;
succeeded to higher honors is a mat-
ter of congratulation. A polished gen-
tleman, a ripe scholar and a jurist
who enjoys the respect and admiration
of both political divisions, he pos-
sesses the additional attraction of
bringing a delightful family to Wash-
ington. Mrs. Fall has long been
among the social leaders of her home
State and long before Statehood was
accomplished her reputation had been
established. Judge Fall held every
important office except that of Gov-
ernor during the territorial regime,
and he has resided as often at the
State capital, Santa Fe, as he has at
his own home at Salhia*.

too elusive for palette anil brush.
REMINISCENT OF T11K SPANISH.
"Our young people in New Mexico have
wonderful pleasures, but so different
from those which engage attention In
the East that it is difficult to realize that,
we are all one great Nation. Long
horseback rides, trips up to the moun-
tains, picnics to distant points arid to
enjoy a specially fine visia. all these
form lines of discussion for days and long
months after the event. We have the
usual social pleasures, also, dancing par-
ties included. Sufficient of the Spanish
civilization remains to give rtnnrtjisi a
high place among the social accomplish-
ments, and these fetes occur even mora
frequently than in the Eastern com-
munity. I.lfe in t h«* open prevails gener-
ally and the concerts given in the plaza
as in old Mexico and in Spain, are a
recognized social center and a favorite
place for the voting people to gather on
a ranch or haclendo, as the old name
goes, every family poss, ses a patriarchal
quality. lOach haclendo seems self-suffi-
cient and few articles of food come from
the outside. The houses are on a gener-
ous scale and capable of sheltering a very
large company. The summer brings
guests for every member of the family
and Is usually a busy time for the home-
keeper. it is the Idyllic life, much the
same as when the statel; Spanish sc.
noras ruled their households In the days
before the American conquest."

Mr. Morgan went to Texas in *li$ late

natfully educated by her father afid later
she studied in private schools in Little
Reck and at Nashville. Afti* her mar-
riage she went very soon to the almost
dt folate territory of New Mexico. }'ut
silo bus always taken keen pleasure in in-
tellectual pursuits and she entered most
vluartlly into the life of her husband and
ins efforts to develop his adopted home.
She has found every compensation In
her home and family and the success of
her husband has proven that every sacri-
fice she made in those days was well
worth its cost. There are four "children
in Senator Fall's family. Pi is only son,
John M. Fall, known through the State
as Jack Fall, married last year and !S
now Tiving on the ranch at Salinas.
Young Mr. and Mrs. Fall will spend
part of the season here with their par-
ents. There *tv two married daughters,
who were Alexia and Caroline Fall. The
elder, Mrs. <'h;.Ls»', resides close to her
parents in New Mexico, hut the other,
Mrs. Overton, is in Pueblo, Colo. Both
are expected in Washington some time
during the winter, and certainly for the
inauguration fete.
A BUD OF THE SEASON.
The youngest member of the family,
Miss Jouett Adair Fall, is naturally the
most important at present and she will he
among the buds of the coming season.
Miss Fall spent the winter in fcanta Fe,
where her father was serving as a mem-
ber of tiie Senate. She was. a great
favorite there and many enttfrtainijients
were planned in her honor. Miss Fall
will b<- a decided addition, to tlie younger
set. fcjhe was educated at the Hunting-
ton school near her own home and then
she took a course at Belmont College,
Los Angeles, Cal. She is talented in
music and art and will no doubt con-
tinue her studies here during the winter.
But she also inclines to all the pastimes
of the young and popular. Mrs. Fail
has no idea yet where she will find a
home which will meet immediate re-
quirements; that is, be large enough for
the traditional amenities devolving on a
new member of the upper house, and also
commodious enough to hold the com-
panies which gather to honor a pretty
and accomplished debutante. Miss Jouett

spring, the old Santa trail was
marked with appropriate »« rcmonial and
the incident revived much forgotten his-
tory about those early travelers. The
trail is now open and appropriately
marked from where the Old National
Pike crosses the Alleglmnies t hrough Ohio
down to the Mississippi at Si- Louts and
thence across t»> Kansas and over tli
mountains to the quaint and venerable
city of Santa Fe. Rut the jourr ey which
early Franciscans tool to Hip Salt Lake
and about which is now Lake City
is a memorable one in Mexican annals
and the marking of this oath remains j
to the future. Likewise tlie journey which .
the torlypadres took from He- Rio Grande j
to the Pacific Ocean an 1 which was fol
lowed faithfully and without deviation!
by the later adventurers is still to be !
finished. We. that tiwvel over the same
road in luxurious sleepprs. would do well 1

marks the trail in bantu Fe was unveiled j
August LM, llMI, when in the presence |
of the most distinguished citizens of the
capital and of the territory, the Gover-
nors daughter, Miss Madeline Mills un-
covered this tablet erected to the unfor-
gotten dead. The first who penetrated
into what TS now the State of New Mex-
ico were actuated by the usual motive
of extending trade. Colonel Zehulon Pike
arrived in 1S05 rnd previously not her
Mlssotirian named Pursley had penetrat-
ed into the domain of the Spanish vice-
roy. Both were arrested and their goods
confiscated by the Spanish authorities
and Colonel Pike spent some time as a
prisoner. Later the Spanish in Mexico
and the American authorities made an
amicable agreement about guarding the
trail across the joint territory from hos-
tile Indians."
Mrs. Fall is a member of the Good
Roads Association in New Mexico and
also of the society to mark historic
spots. She has labored earnestly and
the outlook is hopeful. The, Daughters
of the American Republic and other pow-
erful patriotic societies hope to have a
splendid boulevard open from ocean to
ocean before the San Francisco Exposi-
tion opens its treasures to the public
Mrs. Fall though not entirely confident
that this dream will be realized is amour

wishes not only to mark the old trail
with bronze tablets, but to perform Un-
practical work of making a good road

She speaks Spanish as well as her mother
tongue and her training ulso includes a

Serator Fall comes of a distinguished
Kentucky family and his mother, who
vas born Ed m on la Taylor, was related
to the famous Governor Adair, who fig-
ures in that lively controversy of the
Mexican War Willi Andrew Jackson as
chief disputant. Miss Jouet Is named for
the mother of this illustrious chief exec-
utive of her father's State, who was a
distant kinsman of Senator Fall. Senator
Fall and his wife have taken a deep in-
terest In preserving history in the detail,
that is, as It relates to families, to coun-
ties and smaller environments, than in
the State as a whole. Mrs. Fall has al-
ways belonged to historical societies In
New Mexico and has taken an Intelligent
view in aiding societies which trace gen-
ealogies and thus preserve a most valu-
able part of the country's record. Her
busy life has prevented her from becom-
ing a club woman in the general sense,
tlcugh she has Joined many of the so-
cieties which mean the development of
the country intellectually and socially.
LOVE FOR BEAUTIFUL THINGS,
Senator Fall Is a member of the Fine
Arts Society of America and has served
on ilf National committee. This love
for beautiful things Is shared by Ids wif.».
and their mutual Interest has made th.jr
home a central point of culture and aes-
thetic development. Their library Is one
of the best In the State and the Senator
is always adding new treasures to his
vast store. He has a fine assortment of
volumes bearing on the hlstorv of New
Mexico, a division of the story of the
I lilted States, which is still a'disputed
topic among historians in general. Lead-
ing an active life Judge Fall has not
contributed very largely to the story of
Ills adopted home, but he has gotten to-
gether some valuable literature on th ^
subject and he will perhaps In a more
leisure period of his life, publish some-
thing which will shed new light on these
moot points.
The new Senator from New Mexico and
bis family belong lo the progressive
t> pe In every essential. Both are deepl>
concerned in broad social problem and
tiie Senator is giving close at tent fori to
thi! cost of producing food stuffs, to the
raising of foods, meat and all ibat per-
tains 10 the subject. He Intends to em-
body his conclusions so that the entire
Nation may profit by them, Though ho
