make others happy, and she is in her
element when, standing in her magnif-
cent house on | street, she has about
her the noted men and the pretty women
of our capital. Everyone feels at home
at Mrs. Whitney's, and Mrs. Whitney
entertainS you without seeming to try
to do SO. She has her servants perfectly
trained, and there is never jar or a
misStep. She likes entertaining, and it
does rot tire her. She said to me the
other night:
I'm going over to New York when
the season is over for u nominal rest.
But don't feel that l need it, and L
have the happy philosophy of not let
ting things worry me, and do the duty
that lies nearest me and let the future
take care of itself, | don't do things
when l. don't want to. and it surprises
me TO see how some people work hard
to have good time. [ see some girls
dancing every night OF so who make
such hard work OF it that they might as
well be in tread-milI, and who evil
IDENTITY don't like it. If l were they |
would not dance, and it is the same with
other things"
This Mrs. Whitney said at one of her
big receptions, and as she finished her
remark she noticed young man who
was acting the part of wal!-fiower and
was evidently i'll at ease. She moved at
once TO him. took his hand and led him
to a very pretty Cleveland girl and said:
"Mr. Blank, L know you'd like to meet
Miss Parsons, and want to make two
good people acquainted with one an
other" | cite this just as an instance
of Mrs. Whitney's social tact. She sees
all that is going on in her drawing rooms
without appearing to do so, and her
genial good nature furnishes the oil that
makes the wheels of her social machine
run without friction.
And then she had such a magnificent
house for entertaining, and knows so

A CLASSIC DESIGN
For the New City and County Build
ing.
LONG AND KEES'S PLAN
The Commission Still Puzzling Over a
Ch0ice---What the Building
May Cost.

The court house and city hall COM
mission has been steadily at work all
week examining the plans and draw
ings submitted in competition by the
various architects. If the words of the
commissioners are to be believed, there
is nothing yet to indicate crystaliza-
ton of sentiment, and the successful
candidate is as far from being known
as ever. Interest has continued at the
same height, and the rooms containing
the exhibit are visited by great crowds
daily. In the minds of the constant at
PENDANTS the choice will simmer down
to the designs submitted by Long 81
KEGS, w. H. Dennis, Yost Bros. and G.
E. Myers, but. as the first three ale
Minneapolis men and the latter
stranger, he will be left in the cold,
other things being equal. Several peo-
pie have been found who would prefer
an outside or nonresident architect for
style, but it is very we'll understood
that the commission will select local
architect in the event of equality of de-
sign.

Mrs. Cleveland Has Won the
Hearts Of Washington
Society.
The Dinners of Mrs. Secretary
Whitney Have Wondered
Washington.
Some of the Antecedents of
Mrs. Secretary Fairchild--
Her Mansion.
The Wife Of Col. Dan Lamont
Is Fond Of Washington
Life.

Mrs. President Cleveland stands at
the head of the White house ladies of
history. She has the good nature and
tact of Dolly Madison, the culture of
Abigail Adams. the style and vivaeity
of Harriet Lane and a beauty greater
than that of any of the ladies of the
White house still remembered by the
old stagers of Washington. She stands
at the front of the New York women
who have been presidents wives, and
she has taken larger part in our social
history than any New Yorker who pre-
sided over the executive mansion in the
past. Mrs. Cleveland is the youngest
woman who has ever entered the White
house as its mistress, and the figure
seems to be her luckieSt numeral. She
was twenty-five years of age when she
became Grover Cieveland'S bride,
and the wedding took place on
June =, nearly two years ago. She has
had wonderful success, and her social
career has been as surprising as has
been the political one of her husband.
Coming to the White house fresh from
school she ran the gauntlet of the
Washington society critics, and her
natural tact and beauty made her at
once the most popular woman at the
capital. Old Stagers of the army and
navy who had made their best bows
before the court ladies of Europe went
wild over her qualities, and the states
men, and stateSmen'S wives as we'll,
carried her praises to the remotest parts
of the United States. The interest
taken in her by the people was shown
in the sale of tens of thousands of photo
graphs, and to-day you will find her pie
ture in nearly every house in the United
States.
The picture here given represents her
as she appeared at the beginning of the
social season this year. She looks more

ones are the children of the White
house, for they come to the executive
mansion frequently, and in the summer
they are often seen playing in the White
house grounds. Col. Lamont has very
comfortable residence here, and Mrs.
Lamont's receptions and drawing rooms
are largely attended. She is quite as
popular with Mrs. Cleveland and the
president as is her husband, and she is a
good talker and Well-read woman.
She dresses well and has received a col
legiate education. She married Col
Lamont when he was in the department
of state at Albany, and her maiden
name was Miss Julia Kinney.

plans submitted, and this morning an
other is added-that of Long q KEGS, of
Minneapolis. This firm submits two
designs, one in R0manesque and one in
Neo Greek style. The latter is rendered
in water color and shown i'll the sketch,
and will Immediately attract the atten-
ton of all architects, as it is classical
design of great beauty. 1t is a style of
architecture much used in the govern
ment buildings, and is OF kind which
never, grows old or goes out of
fashion. The plans provide for a
building in the shape of the letter Fl,
the wings to front on Third and Fourth
avenues, with the grand central en-
Fourth street. 1t has four stories and
basement, the latter made light and
available for occupancy on all sides by
means of wide area. On account OF
its peculiar shape, which. by the way,
is being adopted in a majority OF the
large office buildings now being erected
in this. country. This style Of building
does away with all courts and light
wells and gives every room outside
light and ventilation. The building is
massive and substantial in appearance
and also gains ''distinguiShed' look
from-the high central dome and impos-
mg.entrance reached by bread fight
Of marble steps, surrounded by a marble
colonnade: The stairways and elevators
are located at the principal entrances
and in conspicuous places where they
will be of most convenience to
the public. Other interior arrange
ments are in general conformity to the
requirements OF the commission, espe-
cial attention being paid to perfect
system of heating and ventilation. The
other design submitted by this firm is
unqueStiOnably one of the few that will
be left after good deal of sitting has
been done. The perspective is pen
and INK sketch, and shows a structure
four stories i'll height with a massive
tower over the main entrance. The
numerous balconies and bays seem to
detract somewhat from the dignity OF
the design, but it is nevertheless very
clear piece of work, and is universally
conceded to be one of the best exhibited.
THE MATTER OF PRICE.
There has been considerable talk
since the various plans were submitted,
of the cost of the proposed building.
The original figure was &1,500.000, of
which about S350. 200 has been expended
for the ground, leaving 81, 100000 avail
able for the building. While the plans
submitted may be utilized for a struct-
ure to come within that limit. there is
no idea that the cost can be kept down
to it, and the prevalent opinion is that
the ultimate cost will be S2,000,000.
This will mean a nice little pie for the
lucky architect, who will get ) per cent
of the cost or 100000. A leading archi-
tect says there is possibility of an at
tempt to beat this down. but that very
inclination to take would be unprofeS-
Sional and diSreputabe.

HOW 1T WAS ADJUSTED.

She married him because she thought
He was her hero,
And then discovered he was not.
And naught, is zero.
He married her because she seemed
To him ideal,
And then he saw he had dreamed,
She was too real.
But adaptation started wrong,
A frequent case is;
Adjustment slowly drags along
Unto its basis.
The one whom fancy gave the most,
When love was trusted;
Loves bankrupt is, when faith is lost
And facts adjusted.
A word that once might be the cause
OF favOrs gracious;
preface nova saving clause,
TO speech mendacioUs.
Those cunning ways which once TO own
Was our ambition;
Now to surfeit tale have grown
From repetition.
The very charms of which TO speak
None had been prouder
Than you, lie now upon her cheek,
In rouge and powder.
The manly ways, the robust air,
When spouse was lover.
Are quite different affair,
When courting's over.
The master way that once compelled
The sweet confession,
Turns tyrant force when all is held
In safe possession.
One may be eager for the fruit
Hid in the larder.
But capture when it ends pursuit
viii stifie ardor.
But providence takes devious ways
To bring convictions;
And thus, through grievous delays,
Each had his fiction.
Disease within her vocal chords
Preventing speaking;
The ideality affords
He had been seeking.
One day his death, so long delayed,
Proved she esteemed him.
And when the policy was paid
The man she deemed him.

well how to do it without OVERRIDING it,
that, all told, she has been q bonanza
for Washington.
Mrs. Whitney is not, however, what
the western village girl would call a
butterfly of fashion," 1t is true she
dresses well, and she probably has as
many costumes as Berry Wall has suits
OF clothes, but she is good wife and
mother as well, and she watches very
closely over the health of her handsome
husband, the secretary. Before Doro-
thy was born Mrs. and Secretary Whit
ney might often have been seen riding
on horseback through the lanes near
GraSSlandS and the presidents home,
and she sees that he mounts his horse
every pleasant afternoon and takes
gallon out in the country. The result
is Secretary Whitney has recovered his
old Vig0r, and he looks better now than
he has looked since he has been at the
head Of the navy.
Mrs. Whitney is herself fond of eXer-
else, and she has been taking a number
OF long tramps this year. She believes
that American girls should take better
care OF their health, and thinks there
are some English customs in this regard
which they could adopt with profit. She
advocates Out-Of-dOor sports Of every
kind, and it has been through her as
SlStance that some of the big paper
chaSeS and tally-ho rides have been so
enjOyably carried out.
She could not be the social leader that
she Is were she not fine conversation
aliSt, and those who imagine that the
social leaders of Washington are not
women of brains and culture are much
mistaken. The society here is literary
and political, and among the subjects
discussed every eyenins~ are the upper
most topics of literature, science art
and politics. Mrs. Whitney is well
up in the standard literature of to-
day. She reads the latest novels, and
she has travelled so much that she is
perfectly home in diplomatic circles.
She had good education, and she was,
you know, a rich mans daughter. Her
father, Senator Payne, of Ohio has been
for years one of the leaders among the
Democrats, and at Seventy-Seven he
likes to take turn in society almost as
much as does his daughter. None of
Mrs. Whitney'S children is old enough
to go into society. She has daughter
OF about fourteen whom she very SenSi-
bly, keeps at school, and her two sons
are at school, and Secretary Whitney
received letter from one of them the
other day telling him that the favorite
subject of discussion i'll their debating
society was ''The United States Navy,
and How 1t Might be Improvedr'
The boy said that the society pre-
ferred these subjects to such questions
as to whether L0ngfellow was greater
poet than Whittier.
