tinguished couple. Both young, lovely
and holding high position in the
diplomatic circles, it 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 great extent that it
win not be recognized by its old friends
when completed. Not only is the ex-
terror pretty cream tint now. but
within changes have been wrought that
will bring it up from an old-fashioned
mansion into the list of the most mod
ern of luxurious homes. The furniture is
the same as that which was used by the
Porter family, but all of that will be
stored away and new put in its place.
The front hall of the Embassy will be
replaced by new one, formed by tear
ing down the partition. which at pres
emit forms part of the side wall of the
back parlor, and this will make hall
of imposing dimensions. The old
draperies of the library will be taken
down, the walls repapered and new
pictures, handsome cabinets and rich
tapestries, all from abroad, will be
hung up in the freshened mansion.
Electric bells have been hung, the gas
and other fixtures will be changed for
more modern appliances, and the old
ornaments will be put away in the gar
ret. One Of the most beautiful of the
tapestries is huge one which the Am
bassador has just brought from his
home in France. the cloth being now
over hundred and fifty years old. The
Embassy has also received handsome
set of china, which was presented by
the government to Monsieur Patenotre.

by Mrs. General Grant 1t was May
when the family moved to what was
then known as the Bellamy Storer
house. as the member from Cincinnati
had lived there during the last session
OF Congress. The home of Secretary
olney is in the center of the most fash
ionable part Of the city, in neighbor-
hood which is full OF the residences of
famous people and the mansions of for
eign ministers. Just opposite is the
pretty red brick home of Mrs. Sheridan
the widow Of General Phil Sheridan.
and within few blocks are the houses
of Thomas Nelson Page. the author;
Hegenmuller. the Minister from Aus
tria, and dozen other celebrities. The
0lney home is an odd-looking one, but
most attractive because it is not the
conventional square brick. II stands on
corner and is narrow in front. while
running back for some distance on the
side street. The entrance is low, being
Of the English basement kind. and the
first or ground floor is occupied by
pretty little queerly-shaped hall and
broad stairway that leads to the par
Tors above. The first parlor is one of
the most artistic apartments in town,
not from the elegance of its furniture.
but from the taste displayed on every
hand There is nothing luxurious in
its appointments. but its tone is one OF
chaste simplicity. The room is rather
long and one end is almost entirely
taken up with huge bay window,
whose dainty white curtains soften the
light that warns up brightly the pink
sofa running around the curve.
Several bookcases of white wood are
about the rooms and filled with choice
novels, while the creamy walls are
frightened with pretty pictures, and
about on shining tables are numberless
little dainty ornaments and vases full
Of blooming flowers. The general air
is one OF light and GOODNESS, combined
with a cultivated and exquisite taste.
Across from this parlor is another
small room, whose polished floor is
covered with handsome rugs and whose
furnishings are mostly of antiques
beautifully carved. There is another
apartment: then one comes to a huge
square chamber with very high cell
ing--what must have once been used
as a ball room, but is now furnished in
pretty chairs, sofas full of colored pill
lows. tables full of books and silver
