a Washington Fete.

The many friends of Senator
Blanchard and family read with. great
pleasure the account Of the exquisite
reception that he and wife gave in
formally presenting their lovely
daughter to Washington society.
The papers described the elegant
apartments used, the beautiful floral
decorations. the extensive spread and
the superb costumes worn by the
hostess and beautiful debutant in a
manner which shows that the affair
was truly representative one, tit
for that of Senator and family 10
high life. Such entertainments come
high, ting,certainly a thousand, or
two, dollars; but Senator Blanchard
is regarded as a wealthy man and can
easily afford it. TO many of his con-
stituents this sum is fortune, and to
these the expenditure of such an
amount for such an occasion almost
takes their breath; but to Congress
man, with the ample means that Sen
ator Blanchard is supposed to possess,
1t is but tritie aud deemed necessary
to maintain the position Of his family
in National Caritolian society.

The Ballot A Hindrance.

Miss Molly Elliot Seawell, in let
ter against woman suffrage written to
the Boston Transcript, says: "If I
may be pardoned for personal al
fusion, would say that, after an ex4
perience of some years in literary
life, where one is brought not only in
to contact with men, but into competi-
ton with them, it is my belief that a
vote would have been a very serious
hindrance to me at any time" Yet
George Eliot, Miss Mulock and other
English women have managed to do
some not wholly discreditable literary
work, in spite of che every serious
hindrance" of a vote. Among the
American women who are not afraid
that the right of suffrage would hinder
their literary success ars Mrs. Frances
Hodgson Burnett, Mrs. Harriet Beech
er Stowe, Mrs. Elizabeth Stuart Phelps
Ward, Mrs. Harriet Prescott Spofford
and Mrs. Abby Morton Diaz. More
over, the possession of vote did not
hinder men from winning several inn
portant prizes in literary competition
in which Miss Seawell recently took
part. Nothing shows more clearly the
lack of solid reasons against woman
suffrage than the idiotic objections to
which really bright men and women
are driven when they try to oppose it.
