ANOTHER VOICE FROM THE WEST.

Miss Maud Morrow, daughter of William
Morrow, Tate delegate to Congress from Cali.
fornia, ,'though'still littlermore than a school.
girl and not yet formally Introduced into
society, is young lady of marked good sense
and striking beauty, inherited from both
father Tands mother, who have shown in the
training of their children wise discretion
that must rarely fail of its reward. | found
Miss Maud one morning last week seated alone
in the midst of preparations for an early de-
parture in their private parlor at the Rich
moDd, and took advantage of the opportunity
afforded to question her upon her beau-ideal
of a husband.
''Just such man as my father" she ex-
claimed. "For he is perfect So manly and
gentle withal / could never he satisfied with
any one who in my opinion failed to come up
to his Standard and must confess that my
limited experience of Washington beaux has
not left very favorable impression upon me.
There seems to be so little energy and push
in the men of the East. In our State young
fellow knows that he must work his way up If
he wishes to succeed, and that il he fails he
has only himself to blame. They thereupon
learn to form aspirations above dancing, and
can talk upon subjects more interesting than
the mere society twaddle of the hour. Men
make great mistake when they imagine that
girls enjoy nonsense. Under the circum-
stances i am we'll satisfied to make my debut
among my own people, although have keenly
enjoyed the little glimpse had of the fascina-
tions of Washington winter"
Among Senatorial circles there lives no
sweeter, fairer maid than Mabel Stewart,
youngest daughter of the prominent Nevada
Senator. Fresh from the restrictions of school
life at one of the finest collegiate institutes in
Canada, where she graduated with high honors,
with the additional advantage of years artis-
tic culture abroad, Miss Mabel combines the
freshness Of the unspoiled maid with the dig
nifty and refinement of the woman of the world.
Owing to the fact of the family being in mourn
ing for the second daughter, Mrs. Romero,
whose sudden death occurred in San Francisco
on the eve of her contemplated trip abroad last
year, the past season has been spent very
quietly at their home in this city, temporarily
leased from Paymaster Smith, of the Navy,
during the occupation of their handsome castle
by the Chinese Embassy, and Mabel's debut is
necessarily postponed until another winter
No time has, however, been lost by this ambi-
tious young girl, who has devoted a large por-
tion of the winter to the study of her artistic
talent, and regularly attended the class in por-
celain painting at the studio where Mrs. Har-
rson has continued her artistic studies. AS
Miss Stewart is young lady of unusual per-
sonal beauty, it is safe to predict for her sea-
son of most gratifying success among the buds
of another Washington winter.
'iMy husband" said Mabel, ''must be man
in every respect superior to myself-one to
whom l can look up and respect. | do not
| care to marry one who will indulge me as
| have been all my life, but / would prefer to
stand somewhat in awe of him and to feel that
| his will was stronger than my own though SO
! governed by love that no fear should be min
| gled with my affection. have never thought
seriously of the subject as | have been too
| much absorbed in my studies, but | am sure
| that | would never admire man possessed OF
neither strength of character nor that self-con-
troll that is SO sadly lacking in many of those
| who spend their lives in an idle and wusteful
indulgence in mere pleasure. cannot under
| stand how any one, especially man, can be
| satisfied with going through life without end
Or aim, or what girl would wish to marry one
| for whom she lacked respect or looked down
| upon as inferior to herself in either mind OF
| strength of character l have met with many
niceyoung fellows in my trips to the West who
| | am sure would make good husbands after
| they had succeeded in attaining the business
success for which they were SO earnestly work

plishment of their purpose. | feel that have
no right to judge Washington beaux until af-
ter have enjoyed at least one season of soci
ETY., and probably if you ask me the same ques
tion at the end of another year ! will be ableto
give far better opinion than mere theoreti
cal view of the case would convey. At any
rate will not abandon all hope of some day
finding my ideal, no matter how long / may
| have to wait" Miss GRUNDY, JR.
