batchelor of the West Virginia delegation.
He is 49 years old, is practising lawyer
and is now having his first term in the
House. He is educated and in all proba-
bility has money. Dunphy, of New York, is
certainly rich, and he is a bachelor who has
never held Office. he has the seat Of Gen.
eral Lloyd Brice in the House, and he is
only 3S years old-just the age for groom.
THE DIPLOMATIC BEAUx.
The diplomates are beaux BY profession.
There are a dozen odd young attaches among
them who part their hair in the middle and
jabber sweet nothings to the beauties in
French. You find them collected about the
richer of the heiresses, and they want moth
ing under a million free from membranes.
Among the older diplomates there are some
good catches. At their head is Count Arco
Valley. He says he is bachelor, although
the actress Janish bills herself as Countess
Won Arco Valley, and claims that she was
legally married to the six-foot German
soldier. Arco Valley is a distinguished
looking citizen, and when he appears in full
court uniform, with monocle as big as
trade dollar screwed into his right eve, he is
the sensation of the reception. He is a
marked character anywhere, and as he
walks up and down Pennsylvania avenue,
behind him, he has the whole pavement. He
is not very wealthy, but his name is old and
his position at the German court is assured,
He has so far shown no marrying tendencies,
and have not yet seen a manageable girl
who saws that she has received loving
glance through that terrible eyeglass.
THE FAMOUS CHAMPAGNE FAMILY.
Baron Won Mumm Schwarzenstein, of the
German legation, is one of the richest of the
diplomates. His family makes the great
champagne, and he is remarkable charac-
ter. He has leg as big around as many an
attaches waist, and he is over six feet in
height and about three broad. Alexander
Greger, of tie Russian legation, is worth
S2000,000. He comes of good family, and
is fairly handsome. Mr.. Arthur Herbert,
of the English legation, is another catch.
Among the irresistibles of the navy is DR..
L. NJ. Ruth, whom Mrs Cleveland called
the handsomeSt man in Washington. He is
an authority on women's dresses, and it is
said that he once expressed surprise that
woman as bruno as Mrs. Cleveland should
wear violet. One day after Mrs. Cleveland
had heard the remark he met her at recep-
ton, and as he shook her hand he MUIR
INJURED:
The violet gown?'
''Yes," said Mrs. Cleveland, shut it shall
never be worn again." And it was not.
DR.. Ruth had charge of the Harrison in
augural ball. He has been best man at 80
weddings, and will preside at number OF
the gay affairs of the next few weeks.
OLD, BUT NOT YET CAUGHT.
The old beaux whom every belle for the
last ten years has known are the various
scions of the old Blair family. OF the five
Mr.. Lowery has the largest fortune. He
will one day inherit So, 100000 from his
father, Judge Lowery, who is So intimate a
friend of the Secretary of State. Mr..
Charles Sheriff. has million or two. He
has lately returned from Europe where he

Hatzfeldt wedding. Miss Sheriff. was

ments at the Shoreham for the winter and is

monial market He belongs to the old BOs-
ton family, has wealth and drives the most
fetching tandem in the city.

wonder the chaperones of beauty and riches
are in despair. MISS GRUNDY, JR.
