1t is a fact we'll known to astronomers
that the average number of total and
partial eclipses in any one year is four;
that tho maximum is seven and the
minimum two. Where only two occur
they are always both OF the sun. There
are great many more eclipses of the
sun in the course of year or 100 years
than there are of the moon. This fact
notwithstanding however, London, the
metropolis of the world, seems TO be
place where such distractions of the
suns light seldom occur.

,entatives in Congress this session have
taken up their abodes within a short
distance of the Capitol and of the great
new Congressional Library.
But few of the United States senator's
however. live In that vicinity. Senator
Isham G. Harris, of Tennessee; Senator
Turpie, OF Indiana, and Senator Mitchell
of Wisconsin, are the exceptions and
they reside in houses which for modern
elegance will almost bear comparison
with any in Washington. The favorito
location with the senators seems TO be
in and around Thomas Circle. One en-
tire row OF magnificent houses here is
occupied by United States senators and
their families; in fact. the square is
often spoken OF as Senators Row"
Senator Morrill,. OF Vermont, who is
enjoying his forty-first winter in Wash
ington, resides In the first OF this long
row OF stately homes. A magnificent
stays head with tremendous antlers
decorates mis- entrance hall. This was
presented 10 the senator thirty-fve
years ago by the governor OF Wyoming
Territory. One of Senator Morrill, s
warmest personal friends was the ar
chitect who designed the Capitol, and
a fine steel engraving of the famous
master builder is hanging in the library
OF Senator MOrrill's home.
Among the Congressional families
who reside on Capitol Hill is that OF
Charles w. Stone. of Twenty-seventh
PENNSYLVANIA district. Mrs. Stone is
one OF the most attractive ladies OF the
Congressional colony. AS the wife OF
the popular Congressman her friends
are legion and not wholly confined to
official society. Mrs. Stone is the moth
or of three daughters, the youngest Of
whom, Miss Elizabeth Moorhead Stone,
was introduced into society this week
at a handsome tea given in their pleas
ant home, situated within one square
OF the big white dome. Miss Elizabeth
Is rather tall and very fair, with dark
hair and eyes. Her manners are very
attractive and marked by that sim
plicity which is the chiefest charm or
a young girl. 1t Is quite evident that
Mrs. Stone is firm believer in the
doctrine. that in training a daughter
a mother should endeavor to instill

cules. The skating parties enjoy the
morning best and nearly always these
fair skaters OF society take home q
NUMBER OF friends for little informal
lunch parties.
The members Of the Russian legation
are all good skaters, but it remains
for the minister from Denmark, Mr..
Constantin Brun. TO carry off the hon
ors. lie is as expert and as graceful
as any professional in his mastery of
the shining steels, yet If there is one
thing more than another he dislikes
Il is TO seem to SHOW off, consequent
~ his enjoyment of the cross roll back
wards and cutting monograms and fan
cy figures is somewhat married because
every one enjoys watching his grace
and skill.
The British ambassador. Sir Julian
Pauncefote. is devoted TO golf. but does
not skate. His three daughters, how
ever. are very graceful and expert
skaters. Miss Sybil Pauncefote is no
ticeable for the ease and strength with
which she takes her strokes, while
Lady Lillian Pauncefote is like fairy
performer, so firm yet dainty does she
appear. The daughters of Chief Justice
Fuller are all graceful girls, and may
be seen almost daily enjoying the de-
lightful sport which Is their favorite
recreation. Miss Alice Belknap, Gen
eral Belknap's daughter, is one of the
best skaters. She does the inner and
outer roll, and her initials adorn the
ice wherever this fair skater has been.
