SOCIETY IN WASHINGTON.
Sunday evening lunches are now fashionable
in polite society in Washington. One of those
little affairs came off at Speaker Blaine's last
Sunday in honor of Miss Annie Louise Cary.
There were present besides Miss Cary, Gov
Washburn and daughter of Wisconsin and
George William Curtis of New York. They
were entertained by the Speaker and Mrs.
Blaine and "spicy little Gail Hamilton y who
/ is this winter member of the Speakers fami-
ly. 1t is spoken of as very pleasant occasion,
as indeed it must have been with such party.
| Miss Cary acquired new laurels during her short
| stay in Washington, and won hosts of admir-
ers. She is here considered a marvel of excel
lence in her profession, and striking illustra-
ton of the success of energy and pluck. Maine
cannot be. too proud of her gifted daughter
