A strikingly handsome young man,
about six feet five inches in height, and
weighing quite 200 pounds, inscribed
the name "Robert E. Lee" on the reg
ister of the Ebbitt Saturday evening.
The grandson of the illustrious south
ern chieftain, and son of the late
Congressman w. II. F. Lee, has
a ACE and figure that would
attract attention in any assem-
blage. He is under thirty and has
genial ways and plenty of good humor.

Alter six months, absence Mr.. II. LIE

IN Lexington, Va, where she presides
over the establishment of her brother,
General GUSTS Lee, president of the
and Lee University. She
has a great many friends here and IS
fond Of the life of tie capital. One OF
aer iavorite resorts, however, is New
Orleans, where she is overwhelmed
with attention. AS she grows older,
her resemblance to her distinguished
father is more marked. She has the
generals keen sense of humor and dis
iinction of appearance and is clever
md natural conversationalist. She re-
ceives marked attention when she
travels in the south, only equaled by
that shown Miss Winnie Davis, but her
head is never turned by it. She rare
~ forgets name or face and has re-
markable social tact and amenlty.
