waiting for the Dance to Begin.
Secretary and Mrs. Sherman occnpied pri.
vate box at the National Theatre last week,
witnessing the performance Of the Bohemian
Girl" and Chimes Of Normandy" Ono can
readily imagine what pleasant evenings di.
version 1t must DO to listen to sweet strains Of
music after a day of official burden, anxiety,
and work. During Mr.. Lincoln's administra-
tion lady Of this city was called upon several
times during.the same month by friends from
distance to go with them to ''see the Presi-
dent" Although of an obliging disposition,
she folt afraid she would, in pleasing her
friends annoy the President, and during the
third visit said so to him. Not at all, mad
ame," remarked Mr.. Lincoln when | feel
sure there Is no AK to grind 1t Is pleasant
relief to turn aside for few moments from
work and anxiety" No one doubts that the
same feeling of relief is experienced now by
high officials when they spend an evening in
enjoyment and rest.
Although not many of our Congressional
sOlons have as yet arrived, the wcll.flled seats
in most Of our churches on last Sabbath show
that the city is rapidly filling up. At New
York Avenue Church the communion was al.
ministered by the new pastor, Mr.. Paxton.
| He preached touching sermon from the text,

| bcrship into the church in an impressive man
| ner. lie requested them to rise for few mo.
ments, during which time he addressed them
| a few words of welcome. lie then asked the
officers and members of the church to rise also
and appropriately recommended each to the
others fellowship aud sympathy.
new material for trimming hats and bon.
nets Is displayed by several of our milliners
and merchants who import fancy goods. 1t Is
a plaid silk fabric, and Is shown in very
bright colUrs. A light felt hat from L. g.
Davis was worn at tho opera ono evening last
week, trimmed with the bright scarlet
ecru, and white plaid, which was
very stylish. Tho trimming was com.
pletcd with shaded ostrich plumes, pearl
ornament, aud cardinal satin bows and strings
The lady wore q set Of exquisite pearls from
Galt's and the appearance of hat and jewclry
would seem TO prove that no lady need leave
our city, to the neglect of its local interest to
purchase fashionable and elegant articles
elsewhere.
Our young people are growing impatient to
| begin dancing for tho season !" and some of
them, not being able TO see the least reason
why they should wait for Congress to convene
ere they begin the German" are projecting a
| series Of Germans, the first to be given next
week, aud continue at short intervals until
the Lental season. Another club have aready y
commenced, aud held a delightful sociable at
Mr.. MurdOck's, on Vermont avenue, last
Thursday evening. Miss Donaldson, Miss
Murdoch Miss Stewart, aud Messrs. Ruff
Lewis, Mohun, and Chafiee are among the
members Of the club and they propose to hav;
