The Congressional dinner season begins
in the first week of the session. The din
ners are usually charming. At times
score of them is served in single night,
A few are eaten in secluded apartments in
John Chamberlain's club house. He has
the reputation of serving the best dinners
in the Capital. Wealthy members Of Con-
gress entertain their friends at their own
homes. At times, rich representative IN
yites his State colleagues, and the feast is
enlivened with political discussions. Many
of the barquets are magnificent in service
and design. Others, while more modest,
are extremely recherche and enjoyable.
The secret of delightful dinner is in
the selection of the guests. All do not
know this. At one given in Chamberlin's
some years ago, Roscoe Conkling came
near being vis-s-vis with James G. Blaine.
At the last minute Mr.. Conkling learned
that Mr.. Blaine was to appear at the table.

sweets with Mr.. Fitch. Thus between
both Flower and Fitch some of the Con-
gressmen received a good square meal.
Both dinners were eminently pleasing, but
only those who attended both were able TO
appreciate each in all its fullness.
The most exquisite dinner of the season
thus far was spread by the Hon. Joe Wash
iuptoa, of Tennessee. His wife is one of the
Charming women Of the capital. The en-
tertaiument was what is termed "a stag
dinner" Mr.. Washington has regal
suite OF rooms at the Buckingham. They
are furnished with unexceptional taste.
Like his Virginia ancestors, Joe Wash
inQton is keen student Of human nature.
Himself an admirable reconteur, he exer-
cises unusual sagacity in the selection OF
guests.
There were dozsn Congressman at
Joe's dinner on the week before Christmas.
Among them were Gen. David D. Hender-
son of Dubuque. the Hon. John II. Allen
of Tupelo, the Hon. Charles Simeon Baker
OF Rochester, the Hon. Samuel Dibble of
Orsngeburgh, and the Hon. Walter /. Hayes
of Clinton. There were other intellectual
gems, such as the Hon. Adlai Stevenson
of Illinois, the Hen. James Mckenzie
of Kentucky, better known as the
Race Horse Orator, and the Hon. Robert l.
Vance, of Connecticut. With such men at
the table there was no need of speeches.
The host knew all his gusts intimately.
He also knew all their whims end peculi
arities. The repsrtee was at first incess.
ant. Joe sat st the head of his table, and
kept the sir filed with ints lectual pellets.
When chatting ceased, he deity drew from
each guest flood of quaint "reminiscences
and delightful stories. To detail them

John Allen, of Tupelo, recalled the
eventful incidents of his political cam
paign along the Erie canal. The Hon.
