sauon.
Mrs. Gresham, wife OF the late Secretary
of State. would never see any rcpur,er,
man OF woman, il her words were TO be
taken down. She is a quiet, pleasant
lady, and when one requests a chat for

only here for a time, that no one feels
any interest in her opinions, and that she
would not give them under any circum-
stances.
MISS HERBERT IS TIAiID.
Miss Herbert, the pretty blonde daughter
of the secretargsof tHeNavy, is very tinid
when one approaches her TO talk for the

that She breads the operation as If IL was
tooth 10 be extracted. And it is very
seldom that She can ba gotten into the box.

when she can be fouud. II is a hard task

to TO the Cabinet, and she was attacked by
the interviewer Immediately on reaching

woman and fond OF society, but an excel
lent housekeeper. She talks in an easy
way, expressing her views with vigor but in
q pleasant, godd-natuTed style. and is an
advocate Of the business training OF the
woman Of to-day and OF all the many ad-
vantages which are now the privileges OF
the sex.
Mrs. Wilson, often known as Mrs. Tariff
wilson," the wife OF the new Postmaster
General, is a very delicate woman, one

give Information in a kindly way, though
as she took nU interest in the public events
which are stirring the nation.
Mrs. Senator Cameron is a pretty, young
woman, but she has not gone much in So
ciety on account OF being ii mourning for
several years. She is one OF the must in
teligent ladies in Washington, wei read in
literature and up on all The topics Of the
day. There is nothing self-aSSertive in her
manner, for she is gentle and most retir-
ing, but IL YOU can once get her 10 talk it
is a treat TO hear her weI-expresScd views
on the subjects Of present interest.
Mrs Senator Shernaa does mot like to
talk for the press. in fact, she is a quiet
home body, and is tired OF the publicity in

pressing herself, and if she does not like
a person, she says so without much ado
on the subject. Hence, if she is interested
in the subjecJ-matter, she is easy to inter
view
Mrs. Senator QUAY is almost unknown in
the newspaper world, for she lives a very
retired life and probably would not survive

ton.

porter, and very naturally, for an enter.

up with Tom" In an events

submitted 70 an interviewing, but it is
a ticklish thing. It is a proverb that the
diplomat who can keep his mouth SHUT ex-
cept when he is eating and laughing, is the
best minister, and one who talks nquch is
sure to get his country into hot water. The
wives OF the diplomats have 10 be equally
particular and say not thing at which
offense can le taken.
Yet most OF them are interviewed on the
subject OF their countries and come out with
out a scar. Even the wife Of the Chinese
minister has submitted to being reported
through an Interpreter, and as a specimen Of
the influence Of a talk with such an i'm
portant official, IT may be well to mentioR
the fact that Madame Yany asserted to the
lady that there were few, if any, converts
to Christianity among the higher classes
in China and Christianity can not be re-
garded as making much progress" That
statement was taken up and denied by a
lady OF this city, but every one who has
been to China agrees with the wife of the
minister. As several gentlemen sent on
duty to China have said: There are no
converts. in China except those who are
taken as babies and so brought up in the
Christi8n faith"
