from the storms Of political agitations on the
adjacent islands. At Port-au- Prince. as the
wife OF Mr.. Preston, she figured in the fashion
able circles of their own government and at
Washington she has been one of the most ad-
mired ladies Of the diplomatic corps.
THE FAMILY CIRCLE
Minister and Mrs. Preston have around them
an interesting family of sons and daughters.
Charles A. Preston, secretary Of legation.
married Miss Margaret Hunt, Of New York.
where his official duties occupy most OF his
time. Stephen c. Preston is at the legation AT
Washington; II. Aristide Preston Is attache of
legation at London, and Edward F. and A. de
Laittre Preston are completing their educa-
ton.
Their three beautiful and gifted daughters
are conspicuous among the social favorites of
Washington, not only by reason of their uni
versally gracious and attractive manners. but
are greatly admired as most striking types of
brunette beauty. Miss Marie c. Preston. the
eldest. made her debut in New York Just pre-
vlous to the departure of Mrs. Preston with her
three daughters and four unmarried sons for a
three years sojourn abroad. Up TO this time,
although the diplomatic duties of the minister
were in Washington. his family resided at the
great commercial metropolis. Upon the return
of his family to the United States in the spring
of 1883. the minister established his residence
at Washington. The summer and autumn.
however, were passed among the mountains OF
Lake George. The event of the season in that
historic and romantic locality was

college friends the boats were named the
Harvard. the Yale, and the Princeton. In the
crew of each boat was one of the daughters
of the Haytian minister. The ladies at the oars
were attired in picturesque costumes in the
boat colors of red and white for the Harvard.
blue and white for the Yale, and orange and
black for the Princeton. The boats were
skillfully handled by their crews of Haytian and
American beauties. The Princeton. pulled by
Mrs. E. o. Roessle. of Albany. and Miss Marie
Preston. came IN ahead, closely followed by the
Yale, with Mrs. l.. A. Nichols. of New York
city. and Miss Emile Preston. The Harvard,
with Miss Rose Antonette Preston and Miss
Mamie Taylor, of Brooklyn, at the oars was
delayed by an accident to the oar-lock. The
award of the prizes, which were very hand

Miss Marie Preston is a charming young lady
OF medium height with expressive hazel eyes
and is a decided bruno. She is very affable
among her friends, but is naturally of retire
ing disposition, enjoying society more for the
study of its numerous phases than for any
special interest in its gayeties.
Miss Rose Antoinette Preston is a petite bru-
nette of clear olive complexion with lsSy
Grecian forehead, over which the wavy masses
of luxuriant growth of hair falls in soft curls
Her eyes are of a soft brown hue, overhung
with dropping lashes. She shows great taste
in her toilets. Her gowns are always greatly
admired for their style and becoming hues.
Her manners are quiet and refined. She is
very much loved by large circle of young
friends.
The youngest daughter of the family of the
dean Of the diplomatic corps, Miss Louise
Emile Preston. presents a type of beauty in
striking contrast with that of her sisters. She
is tall and full in figure, and stately in bearing
She has a wealth of luxuriant hair. of dark
brown, which crowns a classicaIly poised head
Her charms of person are heightened by an

1t may be said, probably with great deal Of
truth, that a mans desk is largely a reflex Of
his mind. A careful, methodical mind will
cause its possessor to keep his desk neat in its
arrangement while hurried busting style of
mental architecture is apt to show its results in
a jumbled, Uttered confusion on the desks sur
face. OF course there are desks Of the latter
description that become Uttered through sheer
necessity. it being an unavoidable circum-
stance attendant upon the transaction Of GER
tain kinds of business, and bears no relation to
the mental characteristics of the man. Still,
some insight into q mans nature may be had
by glance at his desk. Department officials
are of two kinds-those who work at fiat
desks and those who are fortunate enough to
possess desks with rolling tops, to slide down
over their papers and to shut out the prying
eyes of reporters and other people who prowl
about seeking victims. This may be set down
as a departmental proverb: A rolling top covers
q multitude of secrets.
But ii il not every one that has q rolling top
to cover his papers; there Is the other class Of
officials who work on levels, and there is q
necessity for some means TO battle the stray
drafts that whirl around corners and whisk OF
documents. In fact, rolling tops or not, Official
civilization demands . paper-weight, and gets
it, in some shape, every time.

of the present season. and are greatly admired
at receptions and balls within the distinguished

The family group upon these occasions is par

type of the beauty of the American tropics
Aristide Preston, who frequently relieves his
father in the round of unofficial social pleas
ures, acting as escort to his mother and sisters,
is one of the handsomest and most popular
young men at Washington. The long residence
of Minister and Mrs. Preston in the United
States has given their children q thorough
training in American habits and ideas. Their
home. in one of the most fashionable portions
of the city, is surrounded with elegance and
taste. Their children. reared under the care
and solicitude of a thoughtful and devoted
mother, add to the happiness of their refined
domestic life. Socially the home of the dean
of the corps Of representatives Of the nation

open to generous hospitality and gives pleas
