Beauty la ashiDgtOD.

Mrs. Refers sweet and matronly face
is not wanting in any of the great gather
ings. Her simple but rich black cos
tunes. her pretty laces and regular bou-
quet of rose buds, are all in keeping with
her style.
Her niece, Miss Nora White, has fol-
lowed in the same successful rath, and
every one has words of praise for the lit
tie Ohio girl, who has more wit and bril-
liant common sense thar the average
society girl knows what to make of.
Mrs. Senator Jones made almost her
first public appearance this winter, and
appeared in an exquisite white satin cos.
tune with her immense diamonds twink
ling like stars.
Mrs. Senator Hill was the gayest of all
the gay groups, and each motion of her
head and throat made her equally famous
diamonds shine with great sparks of
light. The Colorado lady wore sap
phire blue velvet over petticoat of pale
blue brocade, and the laces adjoining it
were as fine and costly of their kind as
her splendid jewels.
Mrs. Hazelton, of Wisconsin, with her
poetic face, was more Of a picture than
ever, with her delicate brunette beauty

graceful dress of white cashmere and
satin.
Mrs. Page, of California, wore one of
the richest dresses OF the evening in
fawn -colored satin, brocaded in lavender
velvet, the heavy shirrings and folds of
the cleaning satin combined with the
long train OF sumptuous brocade, and the
whole odd costume giving an admirable
effect to her striking beauty.

ostrich plumes nodding in her couture

satin and Spanish lace, with heavy pearl
embruideries, and wore some of the
most envied diamonds of the evening.
Mrs. Pacheco, of California, in black
brocaded velvet and a glitter of steel
beading, was the exact contrast in type
and style to her black haired Castilian
husband. Mrs. Pacheco is q blonde of
the finest order, large, stately, and like
the portraits of the famous beauties of
old Venice, her heavy velvet costume,
the square neck and vigrette of pink
feathers in her hair Immediately sug
costing some lady of the Doge's court.
The pretty young daughter who accom-
panied her is by almost every one con-
ceded to be the beauty par excellence OF
all the young rosebuds OF the season, her
fine head, pale and perfect complexion,
and the round and soft black eyes being
so many rare and unapproachable per-
fections. Miss Mabel Pacheco was
dressed in all debutante's simplicity,
in pale blue nuns yelling and satin,
with long tan-colored gloves wrinkllng
on her round arms.

crimson velvet, over pale satin, with
large corsage bouquet of tea roses, was
another western beauty, and besides, the
stalwart congressman was accompanied
by Mrs Dunnell, who wore heavy bro
cade of the most delicate lilac satin with
punches of soft white Mexican peoples.
Another beauty and belle Of the season
is Miss McDaniels, of Vermont, pic
turesque brunette, whose novel couture
and itch costumes have attracted much
admiration, and whose complexion is
matchless, with the damask bloom of ma
ture rising and changing in her cheeks
with every fresh sally and pretty speech.
At Mrs. Russel's this Green mountain
maiden was the admired of all the artis-
tic, wearing white satin dress, with
pink rosebuds in the piled up masses of
dark hair, and full bouquet at the
corsage.
