Justice and Mrs. Gray and Justice and
Mrs. Brewer will make stay at one OF

TOURING THE WEST.
The Lieutenant General of the Army
and Mrs. schofield will spend the summer
travelling in the West on tour of mill
tary inspection and, before returning
to washington in the late autumn, will,
doubtless, make a trip through the Yellow
stone Park, place for which they have
an especial fondness, it being the one in
which they spent the greater portion of
their honeymoon.
Mrs. Schofield always accompanies the
general upon his travels whenever it is
practicable, and as his duties are apt to
take him to distant portions of the United
States, it leaves little If any time for
spending even a portion Of the summer at
any of the fashionable resorts In the east.
Mrs. Schofield, moreover, has little liking
for this sort CT thing, as her social duties
during the winter are an ything but light,
and complete change during the summer
is alwa VS. to be desired.

scattered during the summer, and, strange
as it may seem, it is of rare occurrence
that any two Senatorial families are To-
Gated at the same resort Senator and Mrs
Hale always go TO their summer home at
Ellsworth, Me-, where they entertain, and
where the nearness to Sorrento and Bar
Harbor makes it accessible to those of their
friends whom they design to include in
the list to be entertained.
Senator Brices family generally go
abroad, as their taste is more for foreign
travel than for spending the summer at
any of the fashionable resorts in this coun-
try. This year the Misses Brice will spend
the summer in bicycling tour of the rural
districts of France

at the rear is the dining room. Up
stairs is the parlor, which is daintily
furnished, and back OF that and across
the hall is the cosy library.
Mrs Sartoriss son, Algernon, who is
now a young man OF about nineteen, is
in town with his mother and will make
America his home when his studies are
completed at the University OF Oxford.
He is a quiet boy, very English in his
appearance, but devoted to his American
home. which be claims as his native place.
Rumor has several times had it that Mrs
Sartoris was about to change her name,
but il is always denied, and likely the re-
port is merely fabrication, the result
of the numerous admirers that are in the
train or the charming widow.
Mrs Phil Sheridan is another young
and handsome woman, and she has one
of the most attractive homes in the city.
1T is Of red brick, and stands at the inter
section or Rhode Island avenue and Six
teenth street, in the fashionable locality
OF foreign ministers and millionaire Sen
ators. The interior, which is cut up
into queer hapes and cosy hooks, is
bright with pretty ornaments, and scat
tered about are mumbeTless souvenirs of
the famous general. short While ago
there appea red in a paper the statement
that Mrs Eheridan, on being teased about
husband, replied Il would rather be the
widow OF Gen. Sheridan than the wife
OF any man living" Mrs. Sheridan stated
to lady that this story was absolutely
false and that no such words had ever
been uttered by her.
There are four children-the twin girls
who are now at school; Mary, who is one
OF the seasons debutantes, and Phil, who
is a student at school in town.
Mrs Logan, wife of Gen. Logan, still
has her home on Calumet place, where she
has resided for some years. Though not
young lady, she is one OF fine appear
ance, and bears her age well. In fact, her
distinguished air would mark her in any
assemblage, for she is a woman OF wonder

washinton is not only the most beautiful
city in America but il has within its gates
more famous people than all the rest Of the
country combined. This is true, not only
OF the statesmen Of the country but OF the
women whose names are worldwide in their
fame. 1t is natural that q place OF such
attractions OF architectural grandeur
and with the charms OF cosmopolitan
society OF highly cultivated people from
all over the world, should be the Mecca
towards which the eyes of many women
are turned, but il is In widows that the city
is particularly fortunate.
Perhaps the best known OF the ladies
who come under this list is Mrs. James G.
Blaine. whose husband was Secretary OF
State to Harrison few years ago.
The old Blaine house on Lafayette Square
is now being turned into q theater but Mrs.
Blaine has removed TO a fine mansion on
Massachusetts avenue near Dupont circle.
The house is a very large one Of new red
brick occupying the greater part of the
block, with the front facing on Twentieth
street and the carriage entrance on the
avenue.
The interior is furnished in refined style,

part OF society to spend at least a portion
of the summer at Berkeley springs as to give
the impression broadcast that the entire
internal mechanism of society was in need
of doctoring through a course of the waters
at that famous old resort, For that matter,
the medicinal properties Of the long chain OF
Virginia springs are called into requisi
tion every season by the faShionables of
the large cities Of the adjoining States.
This is especially true when it is desired
to ecoDomize as much as is compatible with
securing pleasant. congenial surroundings
for the summer. balb
Then there is the great stretch of beach
along the Atlantic coast, on which the fash
ionabe resorts are located for those who
feel that the year is incomplete without a
breath OF sea air. Given this desire on the
part of society hand in hand, with a full
pocketbook, and Newport is the place first
chosen for the outing. Then comes Nara
gansett, Bar Harbor, Sorrento and all the
lesser lights of fashions calendar of sea-
side resorts. ~
When the idea is to pass the summer
quietly the railroad books are scanned
with closest attention, and selection
made accordingly by the fashionables
Or, it may be that sketching tour is de-
sired to occupy the time and attention.
Then the most out-of the-way places that
can be heard of are hailed with delight,
and the fashionable resorts are given the
go-by.
1t very frequently happens that the choice
in made entirely on a silver basis, after
an exhaustive consideration OF the family
purse Others go year after year to the
same fashionable resort, not SO much be-
cause Of any special preference in the
matter, but because they have cottages
and summer homes located there, which it
is either undesirable or impossible to lease
for the season.
TRAVEL ON THE CONTINENT.
The summer tide OF fashionable travel
on the continent is always in order In all
quarters, especially among the foreigners
These latter gladly avail themselves OF the
opportunity to secure a leave of absence

Japan Is Up to Date.

The japanese show as much skill in
the use OF diplomatic language as in the
use OF their war ships and guns. Japan
and China were both supposed to have
appointed plenipotentiaries having, as
the word implies, full powers to trea.
I for peace. The Japanese commission.
ers were given these powers by their
emperor. From reading OF tho com.
mission OF the Chinese represents tivss
tits equally clear that their emperor did
not give them full powers.
r The Japanese commissioners were to
conclude preliminaries OF peace, which
being found by their emperor to DO in
proper form were to be ratified by him.
The Chinese commissioners could do
nothing until they had reported to their
home government tho thing proposed
and received its assent. This being the
situation, the Japanese commissioners
informed the Chinese commissioners
thattney would not enter upon negotla.
tions until China, moved by a serious
desire for peace, should appoin. COM
missioners with ;ull powers.
If the Chinese thought they could
trick tho Japanese in diplomacy. gain.
ing in that field what they had failed to
achieve in tho fold Of arms, they were
not long in discovering their mistake.
Chinese craft cannot got ahead of the
enlightened diplomacy OF the Japanese.
From whatever point Of view it may
be judged tho new member OF tho fam.
lily Of nations seems to have attained a
full growth. No nation having bust
mesa with Japan can afford 10 hold her
abilities in light esteem.
