WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-One OF the
rcsebuds destined to create sensation in
Washington this winter is Miss Title
Martin. Miss Martin is unknown to fame
Just now, but this state OF affairs won't
last long. She is the daughter of DR..
Henry j. Martin, a New YORK physician,
and niece OF James Fulgate, me Paterson
iron manufacturer, with whose vile she
spent portion OF last summer at Saranac,
In the Adirondacks. There she became
well acquainted with the bride of Presi-
dent Cleveland, and they got to be very
Chummy after a school girllsh fashion.
The upshOt is an invitation to Miss Mar
tin 10 stay a month or longer in Washing
ton, the guest of Mrs. Cleveland. That
the invitation was accepted goes
without saving. Miss Martin is
now in New York making ad-
hitions TO her wardrobe prepar atory to
her visit. She is a sim, erect, graceful
girl of 20, with facial beauty that would
Babl5iy sCui plOI ny us perfect It&u
larity Cf features, AN artist by its deli
cacy OF coloring, and an ordinary OBJ
server by its complete loyaliness. She
has the sort OF personality that will bear
something oil eXaggeratlon IN costume
without producing vulgar effect. Tbere
are women VINO can't wear the smallest
checks Tor fear of lOudness, while others
can turn their surfaces into chess boards
without ot1ense. This maiden is of tae

and the Tam O'Shanter cap stuck on her
snrrel hair asKew is a delight If she
does not eclipse nearly everybody else In
capital helledom will be strange, as her
fresh young beauty will be sure 10 take
society by storm.
AwHITE HOUSE MYSTERY.
Rumor has it that Mrs. Cleveland is
learning 10 ride the tricycle.. The vehicle
l. al the rage among good proportion
OF Washington ladies Just now, and it
does not sound Unreasonable to say that
Mrs Cleveland has caught the Graz =. The
sport il INDUCED in by many young ladies
regard ed a. ultra fashionable. and seems
to be increasing in popularity daily. A
great number OF ladies Gelight in riding
up and down the smooth asphalt streets
on the easy going machines. They are
seen at all hours of the day. While Mrs.
public on the new machine, which she is
SAID TO nave procured, 1t is not at all i'm
probable that she would indulge her
whim within the confines of the White
House grounds after dusk ami the closing
OF the gates. Possibly, however, 6ue ma
chine is for the pleasure of the young
girl who accom- panied Mrs. Cleveland
here from Buffalo, ana is 10 make the
White House her home this winter.
FAsCINATIoNs OF WASHINGTON LIFE.
There is really nothing surprising IN the
announcements that appear from time to
time tnat mis- or that man in official life
or his wife and family have taken such a
fancy to w ashingtOu that they will make
the city their nome after the expiration OF
the official career OF the head of the family.
Most Of these people live during their con-
nection with official circles ~ an atmos-
phere of constant adulatIOn. Everything
they do and everything they wear is her.
aided as Just right by the press of the
country, ana Tor the time being they travel
nothing but path oil roses. This state
of affairs has become historical under the
administrations OF botn parties. 1t is as
applicable TO one as to the other. lndi-
rectly this has an effect on political espi-
ratlOHs. Take the case of Mrs. Cleveland,
for Instance. she has no more idea that
when her husbaud's first term OF Office eX-
pres bu6k VIII move from kQGlf position
at he head of the nation than she mas that
they Will fly TO the moon in balloon.
She wants 10 stay there She is bride,
and all brides have what they want, SO
the husband lelds 10 the wife, and the
Pres dent 10 the man, and the boom begins
for denomination. II is only natural that

THE CABINET LADIES.
OF the Cabinet ladies Mrs. Manning
will undoubtedly hold the first place IN
Mrs. Cleveland's estimation during the
coming social season. Mrs. Cleveland
has, ever since her marriage, evinced
more friendship for Mrs. Manning than
TOR any of the other ladies' OF the Cabinet
The two ladies' had never met until the
day OF the wedding, but after the cere-
mony IN tue Blue Room. Mrs. Manning
kissed her warmly, and with tears in her
eyes wished The new mistress OF the White
House as much happiness as she herself
hal enjoyed since her marriage, while
the other ladies OF the Cabinet uttered
formal wishes to the young bride. From
that time II Is sald that MIS-. Cleveland
has had warm place in her heart for
Mrs. Manning, and their friendship has
grown stronger every day since. Mrs.
Manning Is at the White House more ire
quently than any other society lady in
Washington, ana the two being nearly OF
an age their Intimacy is only natural.
The close pereonal friendship OF their nus
bands is another bond tnat binds them
together, II Is hinled that the other
Cabinet ladies' are just "a little biz Jealous
Of Mrs. Mannlng's success at the
White House. Mrs. Whitney, while
not 80 intimate with the mistress OF the
White House, is on excellent terms with
her, as she is with every body else Ste
