Bayard very well. He was a great adj
mirer of her wit and power of rcpartee.
and lost no opportunity to meet her
during his stay in Washington. One
fine day the capitals society people
found themselves interested in two
events which were TO take place in the
evening. One was a lecture by the
champion of the sunflower and the
other was a brilliant reception. Oscar
Wilde met Miss Bayard during the
afternoon of that eventful day, and she
asked him:
Mr.. Wilde, will you 90 to the re
ceptiOn tO-night?'
Well, he replied, IF am not too
much fatigUed after my lecture.

said:

of Scott Circle 1t is the next house to
the corner one, which was so long oc-
cupied by Senator Don Cameron. Sen
ator Don Cameron built himself a
house about five years ago. The house
and lot cost him S45, 200. He sold it
this year to Mrs. ID. r. Morgan, of
New York. for 100000. He has had
the use of it for five years, and in that
short time has doubled his investment.
The house occupied by Mr.. Endicott is
the property of Minister Pendleton.
He rented it furnished. 1t is an old
house in its architecture and is a rich
red in all of its outside colors and trim
mings Even the window blinds are
red. IL is one of the best known and
one of the most popular houses in
Washington on account of the lavish
entertainments given there by the Pen
dletOns. just across the street from
this house is the Window house, which
was occupied by the Blaines during
their last residence in Washington.

it is unnecessary to speak. One night
the leading lady, who no longer oc
cupies the position, appeared at a
theatre famed for its fine audiences in
such a state that she could scarcely
move across the stage. The hahitues
Of the cafe saw instantly that she had
been drinking brandy. When she
opened her mouth to speak the remain
der of the audience saw that she had
been drinking something. The
fashionable gathering murmured.
The actress knew that her weakness
was disclosed She was a strong
woman physically, and she summoned
all her powers to throw off the influence
that oppressed her. People who knew
her state said she never acted so well
as on that night. Her acting deceived
her auditors They were led by it to
disbelieve what they had seen. and she
retained her popularity. Some time
She will probably find herself in the
same position as Mr.. Booth.

General. 1t is long row of plain
brick front houses three storiea in
height, with a dark basement. The
house stands about ten feet above the
level of the street, on low terrace.
The steps leading to the door are iron

mings of the house at the top are in
brown. The house is very plainly fur

a lodging-house than of a private

An Imports Dress.

An imported dress worn by young
girl at a recent fashionable wedding
was worthy Of note, it being quite a
novelty. The skirt was full and con-
sisted of one piece Of embroidery ex-
tending from the waist to the top of
the shoes Il was gathered at the
waist and fell in easy folds over the
masses Of thin material which were
worn under it. The infant waist and
short sleeves, which came halfway 10
the elbow, were Of the same all-over
embroidery and were finished with
ruby velvet collar and upturned cuffs,
a ruby velvet Alsatian peasant bodice
being laced over the full waist. The
effect was very quaint and pretty. The
beauty Of this costume was due largely
to the exquisite fineness of the en-
broidery and the fluffy appearance inn
parted to the plain drapery by the
many thin skirts worn underneath.
