of the country, as well as of it's states
manship and intellect OF course COM
parisons are odious' among the hundreds
of beautiful women who grace the social
functions of every Washington winter
and are now sea tered far and wide in
pursuit of summer pleasures; but We
may mention a few of them, as space will
permit-beginning naturally with the
cabinet circle. The new administration
has brought into capital society an IN
usually large number of pretty girls and
gay young men. The presidents family
has been so often described that every
body is familiar with it, even to his
sisters and his cousins and his aunts;''
in Pinafore parlance. Perhaps the
prettiest of the cabinet young ladies is
Miss Frances Alger-who used to be
called FRANKIE and Fannie" out in
Michigan, before Mrs. Cleveland set the
fashion fer more dignified nomenclature.
This gentle Wolverine, the youngest
daughter of the secretary of war, has
been out of school only about a year.
She is of the brunette type, with dark
eyes and hair and clear olive complex
ion Music is her fad and she has trav-
eled extensively for so young girl,
having twice Joined Mrs. Logan's
parties in tour of Europe.
Mrs. Helen Long, daughter Of the Sec
rotary of the navy, makes a charming
foil to Miss Alger, her style of beauty
being Numerically opposite. She has
dancing blue eyes and mass of Titan
red hair, with the strawberry and cream
complexion, freckles and all, which
usually go with that capillary coloring.
Being somewhat sensitive in regard to
her brilliant but very beautiful hair, she
persuaded her faher to buy a pair Of
white horses for the family carriage, in
order to be spared the vulgar looking
around for the white horse which tra-'
dition says should accompany the red
haired girl. Very slight and willowy OF
figure, she IS extremely graceful, with
a sweet graciousness and dignity OF
manner which fits her well to supply her
absent step-mother's place in society.
She, too, is a musician, and an accom-
plished linguist.
Secretary Wilson's daughter has been
the head of her fathers household ever
since the death of her mother, which oc-
Cured some years ago. Tall and slen-
der, she looks as fragile as a wind
swept lily stalk; and she has the Irish
combination of black hair and blue eyes
with fiecks of brown in them. She has
already won some fame as a writer of
stories and short sketches, and Is also
the possessor of soprano voice of re-
markable range and sweetness.
Postmaster General Gary is blessed
with seven daughters-four of whom
are married, and the engagement of
the fifth miss Lillian) has just been
announced. This eldest of the unmar-
- sr
belle of bellies in Baltimore-a city ia
nous for it's beautiful women, you
know. All the Gary sisters are hand
some and musical, and Miss Lillian dis
plays both of the family gifts in a
marked degree.
Attorney General McKenna has two
charming daughters. The engagement
of Miss Isabel, the elder, to Peter Mar
tin, an elegant Of the Pacific slope.
whose plain name belongs to pretty
young person and a comfortable inheri-
lance, was announced a few months
ago. But the marriage will not take
place this year, perhaps not during
Judge McKenna's official term. Miss
Marie McKenna is an uncommonly pref
ty girl, tall, slim and graceful, with
dark eyes and hair of chestnut brown.
