cabinet OF carved oak, and the exquisite
holdings Of the figures make them
life-like in their beauty. On the second
floor is the library, facing the south and
bright with the morning sun. 1t is full
of books, pictures, and on one side Of
the wall is a large square of dark vel
vet, on which are displayed a great
many of the swords belonging to Cen
eral Mcclellan. One large saber was
that worn by the general during his
campaigns, and one of the most beauti-
full ones was presented to him by the
city Of Philadelphia. Its golden hilt is
richly chased and the blade is engraved
with an appropriate inscription.
Mrs. Mcclellan, who has been mar
ana Heckscher, of New York. She is an
attractive young woman, with a bright
face and agreeable manners, and is of
quiet disposition, caring little for So
ciety and spending most of her time at
home. She has no children. Mcclellan
is the youngest member of Congress,
except one, but he is full of energy and
a hard-working man, both in politics
and business.
Miss Mary Sheridan, daughter Of the
late General Phil Sheridan, is becom-
ing quite an expert horseback rider,
and every bright afternoon may be seen
in a black habit trotting her slender
sorrel out into the country. She has a
fine figure, which is set off by the close
fitting gown, and looks most attractive
In riding costume.
Miss Jane Fuller, youngest daughter
of the Chief Justice, Is expected to make
her debut this winter, but her mother
has been in poor health for some time
past, and 1t is doubtful If the coming
out will take place before the latter
part of the season. Miss Jane is hand
some blonde, like her sisters, and is
fond Of out-of-doors sports, being an
expert rider on the wheel. Her coming
out will not be formal reception, but
simple tea.
Senator Elkins, OF West Virginia, has
taken house in town, and he and his
wife are expected to be among the
leaders in entertaining. AS Elkins is
very rich, 1t will fall upon his wife to
do the honors, and as she has no grown
daughters, she will have TO perform her
social duties alone.
Among the additions to social circles
this winter will be Madame Domin-
guez, wife Of Senor Don Vicente Domin-
guez, acting Minister from Argentina.
The Dominguez family have taken

full of rare antiques that are of price

Helene Murphy. daughter of the late
Daniel ]. Murphy, OF New York and
San Francisco. Mr.. Murphy was
created a marquis by Pope Plus TX, but
never used his title, which descended
to his eldest son. Lady Woolsey, wife
Of Sir Charles Woolsey, is a sister of
Madame Dominguez. AS Miss Murphy,
Madame Dominguez was the belle and
beauty of London, and her fame has
extended over TWO continents, Sne mas
lived most Of her life in England, hav-
ing gone to that country when only two
years old, but all the same she is an
ardent American at heart. Senior Do
minguez is fine-looking man and he
and his beautiful wife make a most dis
tinguished couple. Both young, lovely
and holding high position in the
diplomatic circles, 1t is safe to say that
Madame Dominguez. who is fond of
society, will find herself among the
most popular of the acquisitions to the
gay side OF the capital.
The French Embassy is to be re-
modelled to such a great extent that 1t
