The Vice of Fools SET FORTH IN POMP SHE CAME. Richard II. v. i. Official Washington was huddled in the drawing-rooms of the Secretary of War. All sorts and conditions of bureaucracy were there. Lean, litigious congressmen with shaggy locks, or corpulent and pompous senators with radiant bald spots, touched shoulders with cabinet officers and their clerks, while scornful diplomats with glittering baubles dangling from their coat lapels mingled with officers in blue and gold and everywhere were the rustling gowns of pretentious wives and pretty daughters. These people smirked and nodded, prattled and jostled with the gratifying consciousness that they were fulfilling the function for which the chance of party supremacy had chosen them.
