respondence. The cabinet ladies have
many new toilets this season. Mrs. Nor
tons gowns are always noted and she
probably spends as much money on her
clothes as any woman in Washington
City. A great variety of magnificent
gowns were sent 10 her from London and
Paris last fall. and one of the most simple
and elegant OF these is princess gown of
old--ose brocade, the figures upon which
form graceful curves extending downward
TO convergent point. The bodice is cut
hlgh and filled in at the neck with :, vest
shaped piece. finished with a simple round
collar fastened at the back. This dress
has long, close-fitting sleeves, slightly
pulled at the shoulders, and the whole is
trimmed with deep crystal-beaded fringe
OF the same delicate old-rose pink.
Miss Rusk, the daughter of the secretary
OF agriculture, always takes an active part
in assisting her mother upon the occasion
OF public receptions. and her dresses are
noted. She has this year a number of
beautiful toilets from Worth's. and among
her evening dresses tasteful gown is of
white chiffon, with tiny sprays OF lavender
flowers, the neck cut low and trimmed
with deep ruffie or embroidery and orna-
mented with lavender bows of velvet rib

Miss Minnie Wanamaker is tall, grace
full blonde, who has the most natural
pleasing manners. She spent last sum-
mer abroad in Company with her
mother and sister. and upon her return
brought with her several trunks filled with
handsome gowns for the coming season.
Let me tell you about a few
of these. There is rich glace silk of
delicate pink with draperies of mousseline

bon forms a belt, with big bow at the
back, and the round-cut neck is trimmed
with deep ruffle of chiffon, which forms
a sleeve effect, and the left shoulder is or

bunch of the same beautiful flowers being
fastened on the cersage. Another dress is
a rich silk of yellow and white. striped
with mousseline de sole draperies. This
is ornamented with blue velvet rousettes
on breast and shoulder, and a large one is
fastened on the belt at the back OF the
waist, the bell-shaped skirt forming a
demitrain. Another ''Doncet" gown
is a carriage toilet of dark blue
serge, with full high sleeves Of
green and blue plaid silk, which also forms
the vest. The cut is something on
the polonaise style. with long ends in front
over a plain skirt of the same material,

brimmed felt hat, with feathers and big
rosettes of ribbon in front. Another taste
