She is large, superbly rusde woman, with
SIX n like peaches and cream, clear dark
eyes, dark hair, and the most beautiful neck

knowledge OF what is artistic in dress to
wear very plain gowns made Of rich mater

LACK OF YOUNG PEOPLE.
The great lack in Washington just at
present is youth All the men worth talk
ing 70 are old, and the young ones growing
up do not bid fair to compare with the gen
GRAFTON before them. They think 81 much
of their trousers, and they dance-well,
they dance like animated pump-handles.
Then, too, there is another thing ne sded in
W Washington, and that is one or two first
class dressmakers. From the presidential
party down have never seen such ill-tit-
ting gowns Ia all my life. They seem to
tank that if the front is dragged across in
tight fashion and the back loosely wrin-
killed. that it is all right, and that a ball
gown, no matter how dirty il may be, is
presentable. The women in New York do
dress well, and cannot explain to myself
why these women in Washington, who
systematically choose TO dress i'll rather
THAI well.
AT MRS. HARRIsoN's RECEPTION
saw women in srorm>coats, and one in a
gray gown trimmed in gray fur and gray
fur hat on, who had fms ed up her toilet
by wearing white silk stockings and white
satin slippers. The perfect beauty of a
stylish cloth gown seems unknown. The
delight of an absolutely fresh ball dress is
not appreciated, and as for the decolete
bodice, well, have never before seen such
displays Of anatomy l have the greatest
admiration possible for a b~4utiful neck
and throat, but when it comes to a young
woman with every bone standing up as If
1t wanted specially to assert its right to vote
for something, and with arms as thin as
leadpencils, ard just as shapely, displaying
these doubtful charms to the world at
large. am flabpergasted. 1t is an evil
dence of the most marvellous impertinence
in the world, for one look at the mirror
ought to convince this girl that she should
use everything possible to hide her anatomy
for fear the society of prevention Of cruelty
to the outside world would interfere. She
is blot upon the face of the earth, and her
number is very great here.

often be used instead of society"
What do you think is the proper name
to suggest for the next PresidentP
81 think it ought to be the name of a man
who is gentleman, well-bred, and of fine
appearance, whose wife is lady, not only
by courtesy. but in reality, and who will
make a dignified, proper representative of
the greatest nation in the world. / don't

81 never think of women; being one of
them, know exactly how difficult the
task is.n
| What political position, if you were a
man, do you think you would like to fillP'
II think l should like to be a British min
lister, because he knows that although the
| Queen of England is a very old woman,
she finds it no trouble TO give her hand 70
the ladies who are presented TO her; be-
cause, while the House of Lords is stupid,
it is dignifed, and because his people have
learned, as ours have not, that the divinity
that doth hedge about the ruler really
makes the people care more for him aud
surrounds him with halo of respect
"This is what / think; fortunately the
rest of the world does not agree with her
who has no title to their consideration ex-
cept that she is Bah"
