beauties. Miss Emma jerks of Penn
sylvania. daughter of the Solicitor
General, has one of the loveliest faces
ever seen here. She is brunette and
has finely chiseled features, almost
classic in their conformity to artistic
types. Miss jerks expression is one
of much quiet sweetness and lends
additional grace TO her beauty.
Miss Mary Butterworth, daughter of
Congressman Ben. Butterworth, is one
of the most effective beauties in
Washington. She is o brunette with
fine, sparkling dark eyes, pretty hair,
worn short, complexion rich in
warm tints and a superb figure. Miss
Genevieve Paul is beautiful brunette,
who is much admired. She is, / be-
lieve, not in society this year on nc
count of the death Of her father, Gen
eral Paul who was well-known TO the
many Kentucky readers of this paper.

No man in Congress, says the New
York Press, has two prettier daughters
than Mr.. II. A. Herbert of Alabama.
Last spring he took them abroad, and
they returned via Antwerp on the
Wiesland this week. Miss Leila, the
eldest, was successful debutante Of
last season. She is very fair, with de-
licious hair of pale gold that has
never been cut, and retains its baby
sickness. Miss Herbert dresses ex-
quisitely, and has brought back with
her fresh toilets that will he appre-
ciated in Washington, where frowsy
ones are too common. Last winter
Mr.. Herbert's younger daughter was
at fashionable boarding-school. II
happened that in calling to take
her to matinee one day II oc-
cured to Mr.. Herbert TO invite
two young schoolmatcs from the
same State TO go with them. 10 save
time the kindly Congressman told the
waiter to say to his daughter, "And
the young ladies from Alabama"
that he was waiting TO take them 10
the theatre. In few minutes there
tripped gaily into the seminary par
bama; tickled' to death at this atten-
tionlfrom the Representative of their
State. Mr.. Herbert is q wise man.
He accepted the situation, including
the, extra eleven girls, and bravely
sailed down the Avenue. The only
thing that did hurt him, though, was
to hear the procession put down as
zone of them Mormon delegates and
his wives" This winter the gentle
man will not make his invitations

The first time we ever saw Ingalls,,
says the Peabody Wan.) Graphic, he
was doing western X Kansas in buggy
in company with Lew. Hanback,, Con-
gressman.from the Sixth Kansas dis
trict, and they stepped into the little
print shop we were running out West
at that time. He carried al umbrella
over his head and wore gold-bowed
spectacles that curled way round the
back door of. his ears, and when we
looked out through q little clean place
in the window and saw him coming
we told the Office devil to spread an
exchange paper over the ink, paste
and TOBACCO stains on the desk,
carry out the old ash pan we were
using as spittoon, aid then go out
doors and put-his shoes on while we
took down copy of the Forum
and buried oursclf in one of the
Senator's last articles. 1t isn't
every day that "a great high-muck-a-
muck United States Senator with Isle

tanned his usual equilibrium under
such trying circumstances, and we

Mr.. ingalls, is not very pretty. Hi:

he manages to carry such big heac

! Says Skipworth Aldrich in hi
Washington letter to the Kansas Cit,
TIMES. "A good deal Of amusement i
furnished this winter by the wife OF

not very nice about his person, bu

is addressing him in private or il
public, orwhcther she speaks of hin

darling is referred TO now every
body knows who is meant. Darling
