A Wild Western Society Woman.

Washir gton Special
society gossiper says there was quite sem
sation in the diplomatic corps last week over
social phenomenon which none of the members
had ever observed before, and which will furnish
them food for discussion for many day. The
unmarried ministers and attaches Of legations
received calls from lady. the wife of high
official, who is now in Washington. They had
all called upon her, and suppose she considered
1t her duty to return the visits. and did up the
whole list regardless of whether they were
bachelors or benedicts. She had no idea of the
improperly of the act, for she is lady of mod
esty and refinement, but unfortunately ia not
familiar with the social code. Very few of the
diplomatsts were so severely startled as
when her card was sent up to them with the in
formation that she was waiting. unattended, in
the parlor below.
