MBs. GRANT AT a BALL.-Oliye Logan
in description Of the recent ball at Lon
Branch in honor Of the President thus al
ludes to Mrs Grant
" The more one sees Of Mrs Grant tn
more one likes her Even her eycs-whicl
by the painters standpoint are the worst o
to have a tender, touching
look. She is evidently very retiring an,
modest woman. During the Misunderstanding
she and her little daughter sat on loung
behind the President in that true woman
ly sphere-y" way which Dr. Bushnell an,
Mr.. Horace Greedy so approve Of. wa
vexed at her for this but she did not seen
to mind my vexation, for she kept her lowll
seat till the General asked her if she woulC
walk-which she did.
Mrs. Grants toilet was in admirable taste
White satin, with zephyr-like oyerskirt o.
tule looped up with exquisite and appro
pirate flowers. Flowers such as you might
have culled in the country a half mile bach
from here Poppies, corn flowers sheais o
wheat. Over her shoulders a white point
lace cape was deceutly and elegantly drawn
In this respect the first lady in the land wa
in marked contrast with the second, third o
FIVE hundredth, who promenaded about he
with dresses cut in such fashion that eyei
the most 5lase eye could not fail to note thei
shameless immodesty."
