Woaaan's Ri9hts.--At the late Douglas Bal
in Washington, 1900 persons were present, the
street was so blocked with carriages that fol
several squares it was necessary to alight and
walk to the house. All the Foreign Ministers
and more than halt of Congress were present
and an awful grand time was had no Doubt
We are glad OF it. Mrs. Douglas is beauti
full and an amiable lady; and she has a smart
man to live with and all that sort of thing, but
what "gets US is the following paragraph taken
from the HeraId's correspondence
"Mrs. Douglas received her guests seated, as
she was aboring under the effects of indisposi-
ton. She was dressed simply in white tulle,
with trimming of violets, and Wore but few
ornaments. Her husband stood beside her, and
presented to her the guests who pressed for
ward in crowds to be introduced to her.

say it has met the warm appreciation of two
