th capital looks forward to the opening
Of the gay season with anticipation, but no
one awaits its coming with sJch elgsr ex-
pectancy or such brilliant authorizations as
do the debutaltes. Tanks to the many
newcomers who have attractive daughters
TO introduce, this seasons crop of buds is
unusually large and fine. In the cabinet
alo e there are eight charming you 20
women, all but three Of whom, the aiisSes
Halstead, Mrs Mobiles sisters, and Miss
Rusk, the daughter of the Secretary of
Agriculture, are debutantes. Miss HIATT lie
Blaine, the youngest of the Secretary of
States daughters, is the prettlest one of
her IA nily, tn ugh she, too, posse 'ses the
large and strongly marked features of her
father, which are handsome in a man, but
in a woman denote enc gy and force Of
character rather than the softer and
sweeter virtues. Mr.. Blaine has always
taken great interest il the education of his
dau ghters, and has insisted on broad, sys-
tematic culture rather tn N the pursuit of
one ct of ideas, determined that his girls
snail be not only we'll but gracefully de-
yeloped. Mis- Hattie is in Consequence
well read. well up in the topics of the day,
and good hnguist. There is one trait
that the Blaine girls pos ess in common
which ought to commas md itself to a / others,
and that is lack of affectatlon.

Nellie Niudom, fair, graceful, attractive
child when her father was in the Senate.

real par in the social life viii h until now
she had only p eped at through the doors of
her nothe 5 drawing room. Miss Window
is slender and graceful, with delicate, re-
fined features, and though not really beau
tiful, has that which Is better tuan any
tangib beauty, sympathy and respon-
sive ess. she Is gentle and kind, full of
considera iol for others, and one can
never imagine her as a fully developed
nlORddin3.
Mis-, Proctor, the daughter of the Secre-
tary of War. is disti cay a New England
clrl, botn in appearance and character.
She is tall and well formed, with a clear,
healthy complexion and al open, intellect
ual face, the especial feature of which is
a high, noble forehead. She is not at all
sure that she is going to ike Washi gton
society, and frankly owns her doubts alb uts
the matter. Miss Proctor, will spend only
part of her time in Wa hington. The other
part will be given to her mother and in-
valid broth sr, who will remain south dur
iEg the cod weather.
Miss Wa am kei's debut was formally
made at her fathers country home Just
outside of Philadelphia some weeks ago,
and glowing accou is Of the affair were
brought rack by those fortunate enough to
participate, but as yet she has not appeared in
Washin ton at any of the social gatherings,
of which there have been a number, quiel,
COSY affairs, during d cember, and owing
to tue unfinished condition of the house, t @
wife of the Postmaster General has been
unable 10 bs at home to her friends. Miss
Wanamaker, however, is already familiar

mother have been r so ne weeks past, only
going nome 10 Lindenhurst for the holi-
DAYS: The daughter of the Postmaster
General Is very pretty, graceful. full of
life and capacity for elj)yment. Sac Is
bright and ACCOMPLISHED, and good lin
guist. She Knows that ner first winter in
society and at the capital will be charming,
and she announces IL with 81 much & ace
and confidence that every one is determined
to make 1t so.
1t is safe to predict that no one in Of
ficial Giro es will SC re more OF a success
than Miss Miller, d tighter of the Attorn Y
General. Size has that faculty for u der
standing an get at people that makes
one popul II. she is attractive in apoear-
ancs a "a brig t, cordial, and unaffects1 in
manner. Her genuineness and sincerity are,
in fact, her prime. pal charms. Then, too,
her in imacy with the Harrisons will
smooth the way for her.
In the judicial circle there are three
buds which will bloom this winter; the
daughter Of the Chief Justice, Miss Mildred
Fuller the daughter OF Justice Harlan, and
Miss Alice Condit S-ni b, the ward of
Judge Field. When tue FullerS first came
here, little more than year ago, The
young women of the house made quite
sensation They are all clever and Original,
aid entirely unlike the conventional society
girl as we know her. Their costumes were
unique, their conversation bright, and the
home OF the Chief Justice soon became
YER popular. Miss NJ ldred, the fourth
daughter, is not less clever than her sisters,
as her standing a. Wellesley, from which
college she grad iated las summer, shows;
but she is much more preposs sssing in ap-
pearance and much more conventional i'll
manner She is a tall, handsome girl,
with bright, interesting face, and Is the
literary member of the home circle. One
of the PLAYS she wrote was played with
success at the college, and if Vanity Fair
does not prove too seductive, she may gain
fame through her pen.
Miss Harlan will assist her mother with
her social duties this winter, and the recep-
tions at Judge Harlan's lovely home on
Meridian Hill will take on a livelier air he

In senatorial circles Miss Jones and Miss

She is still very young, and looks forward
