wAsHINeToH, Feb. "a while the
politicians have been busy wraDglinp
over the new rules and tumbllng
ever one another IN their anxiety tC
get their pet bills on the calendar,
the ladies Of the Kansas delegation
have been taking an active part IN
social life here. The leaders take q
rest during Lenten time aud on lss,
Wednesday the Wild frivolity ol
mid-winter here gave place 10 M
outward appearance Of eack.loth and
Kansas. John ]. Iugalls, and hi.
wife had q verr pleasant home ut
No. b street, Northwest, aud In
the first month Of the admibistra.
ton did more or less entertaining
there. The senator from Atchison,
like Judge Peters. found that $500
. year would not 60 very far In pay
Ing bills for high living ut the ma
tional capital, and his house Was put
In the hands Of the real estate agent,
who rented Il on the lst OF January
Since that time the senator aud
Mrs. Ingalls, have boarded with
their tenants and have led . very
quiet life.
Senator Preston b. Plumb Of
Emporia lives nj . boarding house
on Fourteenth street, In q semi
fashionable neighborhood, where he
has pleasant but modest apartments
and where he makes no attempt at
entertaining, save with . good side
board.
Iua pleasant little family hotel
called the Rochester" Major Nor
rill and his good wife are surrounded
by Q delightful circle. The major
can always be found ut home In the
evening except when his eongrss-
siohal duties render his absence
imperative. He IL Q kindly aud
courteous gentleman and is very
popular here, prAeticularly among
the old soldiers, TO whom be always
lends q ready ear aud always opens
Q well-filled purse. His favsrite
pastime is whist, and he loves a
rubber better tnan almost anything
else. Good natursd aud sleek look
Ing Charlie Baker Of New York
play with the major constantly, AMI
when they don't beat Senator Will
son Of Iowa and one Of the trio's
wives IL 10 due to q remarkably bad
streak ofluck. In the summer these
three gentlemu have q favOrite
drisk. Before sitting dswn to n
long evening at whist they send out
for O pint OF claret, . bottle OF ginger
ale, half q dozen lemons and some
sugar. These they mix In an inn
mense pitcher iilled with Ice and
drink it letweeB deals.
"Farmer" Funston pays as q little
attention - the social side Of his
existence here as he does out IL Kan
saa. AS far as " known he has
never yet attended q fashionable tea
or reception. Both Of these require
a spike-taiied coat, aud Mr.. Fun
ston'S friends would be a. much sur
prised to see him incased In Que rs
they would be TO hear Of his having
tried to play q biuff hand Ia poker.
Bishop Perkins 10 well named.
He looks like blshopi that Is, he
impresses the stranger a. genial and
well-fed, aud better acquaintance
with him does not change the I'M
preston. Only q few OF his most
ultimate friends call him bishop,
the average acquaintance always
referring to him as "the judge. "
He lives in very fashionable
neighborhOOd, at 1874 Vermont ave-
nue., where he has a beautiful home,
and where Mr.. Perkins entertains
beautifully.
Harrison Kelley. In congress for
the first time, has not yet done any
thing to make himself either famous
or Infamous. He has eon;ented
himself with working along In a
quiet way, looking out for the in-
terest Of his constituents to the best
Of his ability. Mr.. Kelley has his
daughter with him aud lives at gIj
Eigth street, q portion Of the city
where rents are cheap aud the
fashionable people are unknown.
On one Of the principal business
streets, over a shoe store, John \.
Anderson has his rooms. Mr.. An
dsTson Is independent politically
aud independent socially. His
rooms are pleasant ones with n
southern exposure aud a. he IL rot
Ia them q great deal the noise aud
tumult Of the street below does not
disturb him. He takes his meats at
. little boarding hOase around the
corner.
