WASHINGTON, March 2, 1916

Hop at Coieman's-Intercsting Particulars
The shops" al Coeman's have been quite famous
this winter This evening" of the first Of the sea-
son came of. The large ladies' saloon was
thronged with young and beautiful ladies' and gal
lant beaux, and dancing kept up till II o'clock
Conspicuous among the fair bevy was the piq,.ant
accomplished, and magnificent Mrs. s., of Tennes-
see She looks queen, and has all the grace and
dignity OF true American lady; soul speaks eo-
quenly IN her countenance, and the rich tones Of
her voice are drank in with avdiy by her numerous
admirers. The lovely Mrs. W., Of Philadelphia,
was there, arrayed with fautess taste and making
MONDAY with her smile. Mrs General G.,
sweet lady, of winning manners and the most
amiable disposition, made the hall ring with her
merry laugh, the sparkling insp piratlons of the
gentlemen around her were thrown of. Mrs Judge
=. was there, blending matronly dignity with the
charms OF pleasant conversation and womanly
grace. There, too, was Mrs. Judge W., perfect
specimen OF high bred New England lady Mrs
j. g. b., OF your own favored city, swan through
the mazes Of the dance, with swan.ke grace
Her lively flow OF spirits contributed much to the
pleasure OF the occasion. Conspicuous for her
syph ike dancing was the beautiful Miss c. sister
with her pretty cousins Miss w. Of Florida, and
Miss w. OF New Jersey, and Miss c. of Pennsylva-
MIA, dropped into the hop, adding new and bril-
liant constellation to the galaxy OF beauty that shone
N
the lovely Miss B--s of Philadelphia, the Misses
r. OF Massachusetts, and many other beautiful
damses whose names did not learn, though III cir
sweet faces have daguerreotyped themselves upon
my heart
Among the gentlemen, noticed Judge W. OF the
Supreme Court, noble specimen OF the American
bench; Senator 6. Of Rhode island as polite and
afiable gentleman as graces the Senatorial board
finished gentleman OF the old school, with lntel
gence and benevolence stamped upon his open
countenance Senator A. OF Arkansas, my beau
ideal OF Senator Senator w of Florida, an orr
glna IN his way shrewd intelligent, warm hearted
and misunderstanding the sound judgment of the
North with the ardent feelings of the sunny South;
Judge w. OF the House Of Representatives, frank,
whole-souled democrat from the Empire State
Mr.. r., also of the House, an elegant looking man,
and whole-soued twhig, withal Signor A. OF
Mexico, splendid specimen of the Spanish gentle
man, OF fine port, elegant manners, speaking coun-
tenance, and an imperial that would kill your Broad
way bucks with envy Among rthe lesser umina-
ries were two aids-de-camp of Gen. Scott; Mr.. T.,
grandson OF the present Chief Justice OF England
Mr.. s. of Tennessee |; Messrs. H., E., T., and w
OF Boston; B. and r., of New York, and host Of
others, too numerous to mention.
Altogether, II was one of the most agreeable &c
tempors parties Lever saw, and life and fun were
the order of the evening What was most remark
able was the fact that there was not homely look
ing woman among the thirty or forty present, nor
sour looking man among the same number oil gents.
II there are any such people In Washington, they
keep themselves scarce upon such occasions, and
they deserve vote Of thanks for SO doing.
Depend upon 1t, sweet Herald, this was the ne
plus ultra of hop, such can be got up only at
-Coleman's; and want you TO spread the fact
worldwide, that all who would see Washington
life in perfection may stop at Ceeman's. IoioNrs
