DAGUERREOTYPE SKETCHES.-No. VII.
BY AN Ex-EDIToR,
WASHINGTON, Jan. 81, 1915.
.4bout To,cn. The unusually mild weather
for the season of the year has warmed out the
butterflies; and every day, with the exception
of one or two, has seen Pennsylvania Avenue
thronged with "earth!y divinities," from all
sections of the Union. Here we have the
charming brunette from the sunny South, with
eyes like sparkling orbs that swim in seas of
LIQUID fire. and lips which seem to be the bo-
ney-suckles of love-and then the more blonde
beauty Of the West moving with dignity and
grace, and with a smile as winning as the beck
oning of an angel, catching love as he flies
about; and again, the belle of the North pale
and languid, though full of intellect and soul.
Married danes, with their blooming offspring
and antiquated spnsters, who spend all their
ammunition in making desperate assault up
on the stubborn heat of the sterner sex. Nor
is day alone made brilliant by the display of
temenine beauty at present consolidated in the
pois-levees, gaas, balls and social par
| ties nightly bring together small clusters Of
these satellites of tashlon-pretty play-things
constituted for mans veal or wo. Writing Of
galas &c., who, in the name of candor, wrote
the sycophantic and mawkish letter that ap-
peared in the columns of contemporary of
yours, giving an account of the last Presidents
| levce' 1t has been said that there is but one
step from the sublime to the rdiculous-that
step has been most decidedly made by the au-
thor of that letter; and question whether the
sketch met the approval of the sensible portion
of those who were so gaudily pencilled.

DR.. HGliick'S Lectures. These lectures have
