WASHINGTON, April q, 1885,
Fashionable Movements at Washington Cheualie,.
WikcG-Beaw Hckman-A Fashionable Mar
yiage.
Can you inform me what the redoubtable Cheva-
lier Wikoff, Fanny's ex-man of business, wants in
Washington! Is it to sell tea! should like to
know, because his claims should be attended to. A
man of his parts should not go unnotced, and have
no doubt but that the President would gladly en-
brace any opportunity Of winning over to the demo-
cratic ranks so distingushedan individual AT pre-
sent he is in the goodly keeping of the equally cele
btated Beau Hickman. Do you know the Beau!
Then will introduce hm-Mr. Hickman, Mr.. Ben
nett-Mr. Bennett, my friend Mr.. Hickman. My
friend, you will perceive is distinguished look
ing individual, usually travels behind 4 very fine
mustache, wears a hat, brim measuring 9Th of an
inch wide, latest Paris touch; black frock coat ra-
Their venerable and respectable, usually buttoned up
to the chin when the thermometer is ranging be-
tween 80 and 95, as in warm weather. My friend is
subject to throat, some people have nsinuated;
but this is sanderous world, you know, so let it
is most useful member of society; he kindly takes
charge of all strangers as they arrive, and introduces
them into the mysteries of Washington life, and
should they wish to take julep, or dozen raw, my
friend rs always on hand, to save them the disagree
able necessity of eating alone.
Last evening the beautiful Miss H., was mar
red to an officer of the navy; and being invited to
pay my respects to the happy pair to-day at twelve
spects to the BRIDE who looked as beautiful as the
morning, and reclining against the window, stood
ready to note the passing scene In the groom stood
celestial happiness personifed on earth; and well
might he be happy for in her he got fortune, beauty
and virtue, ali combined. If he ever causes her q
pang hope that he will be condemned to chew al
one Of Browns beefsteaks for two hours, without
stopping to rest his grinders-that will be punish

gallant officer Of the army. i know one poor fel
low who would 60 into servtude longer than Isaac

other distinguished personagcs in my admiration Of
Then enters the joyous Miss b. escorted by train
of good looking beaux, Capt. Jack D., leading the
after them, followed the charming Mrs. H
on the arm of her husband, DR.. H, much too
but I have no time to specify each individual
beauty, for the room is full Of them-there was the
daughter of old General T., who everybody loves

WASHINGTON, May Z, 1915.
The Opposition May Ball
Last night the opposition May Ball, coronation
and all, came of at tho Assembly Rooms opposite
to the Unitarian Church. This was given ny Mr.
Liable, who has for his pupils the children OF The
$40 aristocracy of this city, who thinkhemselves SC
much better than other folks, because they receive
more money from Uncle Sam. Mr. Labbe's ar
rangements were much superior to those at Mr.
Carus's ball. The room is larger, the music was
better, and the arrangements superior. The decora
| tons were more numerous, and the arrangement Of
| the evergreens and flowers reflected great and de.
served credit upon the good taste and judgmen,
displayed therein. The company was also larger
than that at Mr.. Carusi's; and while there wcr,
fully as many, and as beautiful ladies' there as a
Mr. C's., truth requires the fact to be stated, tina
there were many more ugly pcrsons-absolutey arit
irretrievably ugly.
/ The coronation ceremony was very similar 70 una
described as having taken place at Carus,s on I'M
ls May, the difference being that neither the queer
| nor her attendants were so beautiful Inc queer
this occasion, however, was very gIrl
