In winter the Senator is In Washington
almost all the time. He loves the capital
and it is said he begrudges the time to
go home for his Christmas dinner. Around
Washington there are many pretty places
for enjoyment. There is Chevy Chase, with
its trolley line for all, and its fine carriage
road for some Here Mr.. Hill often goes
and here ne will be often found this winter.
There Is a ruInor that the beginning OF
this coming year will see something new
in the sports of our statesmen. 1t is said
that there VIII be winter golf links laid out
at or near Chevy Chase and that Senator
Hill will be among those who will enjoy the
novelty of golfiBg on the ice.
Senator Hill is said to te the one who intro
duced golfing on ice in this country. This
sounds like q very difficult thing, bui IL is
not SO very hard If done with as much
system as golfing on land. The links are
laid out through snow banks, the snow
being left unshoveled for the most diff
cult links. Again the balls run over clear
ice, and, at the last link the ball Is landed
and driven up a little wooden hill. making
very pleasant game. 1t is allowable TO
play golf on skates. but The runs TO land
make the skates awkward.
HILL ON ICE.
There is gossip afloat about the Senator
this season. A Washington lady friend Of
the Senator, writing TO another lady friend.
says: 'Mr. Hill has hired one of the finest
residences In Washington for the winter and
has been asking all his friends to help him
furnish it, What can it mean?"
Whatever 1t may mean, the Senator is
showing more interest in the sociable sports
than ever before.
The only sport in which the President has
taken part In years is that of curling. He
is an expert curler and loves the game, but
is sensitive. When lie fishes he wants no
one but the fish and Joe jefferson to see
him, and when he curls he does not want
an audience from the bank. 1t is related
that Mr.. Cleveland has slipped away for a
curling match with his old friend, Sir Ju-
liam Pauncefote, and few Canadian friends,
going North, when manifestly going duck.
ing. But OF this there is no proof except a
whispered word from those who were in 1t.
Often you can see the President watching
the others having fun like a sick Child in
the window of his home.
Sir Julian, like all Englishmen, is fond Of
curling. He wears a typical Scotch suit when
at the game, and uses a broom with the
agility of a porter. He is an athletic, hand.
some mau-few handsomer. A the curling
matches of England and Canada, where curl
ing is business, as hunting Is here, Sir
Julian bore away the palm of amateur
champion
Another sport OF the English minister is
cycling. He rides swiftly and can manage
bicycle over the most frozen roads.
McKiuley's favorite winter amusement
is skating. He is clever with the wedges
and can do ice figures to perfection. The
double grapevine twist and the PhIladel.
phia grapevine are both skated by him. He
also does the Dutch roll.

One of The girl artists has selected inte-
rior decoration as her specially. Let her
loose IN a room and give her a clothes bas-
ket of holly and a few flowers, and your
room is so lovely you cannot leave it long
enough for your Christmas dinner.
DRESSING THE CLOCK.
This pretty girl. also from the South. as
so many girl artists are, decorated Il room
the other day and made il SO pretty that n
photograph was taken of it. One bit OF the
room, the corner where the granGfathers
clock stood, was so effective that her artist
friend who was assisting her persuaded her
to stand still for Il minute with the holly
in her hand while n sketch could be made
of her. The work of decorating was done
at early evening, about O'Clock, in time
for q dancing party 10 be given That even
ing; and the girl artist, in evening dress
for an entertainment. looked picture as
She arranged the greens and dressed the
furniture. Standing in front of grand
fathers clock size allowed another girl
artist 10 sketch her.
In giving grandfather's clock dress for
Christmas the hard outlines must be soft
ened. That square appearance at the top
must b. taken away. This can only be done
by heaping the holly high upon it. Half a
peck of holly is not too much for making the
top of the clock rounding and graceful. The
girl artist managed il by throwing the holly
up at the clock. Standing upon tiptoe, she
would take a small handful Of 1t md toss
it up. Then another handful. and SO on. un-
;dl it began TO fan down at the sides. The
deep green leaves and bright rcd berries
arrange themselves stiffly but well. The
less you place" holly the better.
Another charming bit OF home treatment
for these rooms. that were to be the scene
OF a family gathering during the next few
days, was in the dressing of the old arm
chair. This is feature in nearly every
home. and none appreciates its decoration
much as the member of the family who drops
into IT. conscious that there is no longer
strength for the reveries OF Christmas. The
old arm chair. as it emerged from the hands
of the fair young artist. was so cheerful and
pretty that it was the envied post of all.
FLORAL FRAUD.
At the sides of this chair stood tardin-
ieres of the long, slender kind. Into these
can be slipped pot of plants. The flowers
upon the plants look as il just cut and fresh,
but really they are growing. The fraud
is never detected until some one, wonder
ing Wy the flowers do not wither In the
vase, ind out that they are growing In
soil. The girl artist has her florist pre-
pare for this by growing roses. chrysan-
themums and feathery green all in one
pot. and when 1t is slipped In the 1ardiniere
it looks like bouquet.
The picture over the old arm chair.
which happened to be picture OF the
baby OF the family, was draped In vines
OF mistletoe. Mistletoe has greenfsh
white berries and a long leaf. 1t 10
