The Washington times., 1902-12-21

The death OF both her parents. which
took place in Chile in the late summer.
has put the wife of the Chilean minister
IN deep mourning. and she will take no
part in society this winter.
Sonora Walker Martinez is an ex-
rcmely handsome woman Of the Spanish
type. cultivated in many ways and hap
py that good fortune has sent her hus-
band to Washington, where she feels
quite at home The Chilean minister
has two daughters, but neither Of them
is old enough TO participate in society,
and they are being educated by tutors
and governcsses at home.
Some criticism has been made regard
ing the severe exterior Of the home Of
the Adjutant General Of the Army, but
The Washington times., 1902-12-21

The limits Of her present home do not
allow her to invite as many people TO
her musicales and evening receptions as
she wishes. but when she takes posses
sion o. her new house, now in process Of
building society viii have no cause to
complain OF her contributions to its
pleasure. Mrs. Walsh surrounds her
self with attractive young women, and
in the few years OF her residence in
Washington has succeeded In gaining the
most influential people in society as her
allies.
Mr. and Mrs. Walsh have recently been
entertaining Princess di Poggia suasa
and Marquise de TaHeyrand-Perigord.
The advent Of these titled women
made a stir in Washington. and many
entertainments were given in their
honor. The Italian ambassador gave a
large dinner for them; Miss Wilson,
daughter Of the Secretary OF Agriculture.

ator and Miss CocEreu invited a party
TO meet them at breakfast. Mr.. and Mrs.
Walsh expect other Jitled guests later

Mrs. Hit a Noted Hostess.
Mrs. Hit is. perhaps. the most noted
hostess in Washington. Her husband
was for many years attached to the
American legation in Paris. and when
he was chosen 10 represent the Ninth

equipped for the duties Of a Congress
man wife. Mr.. and Mrs. Hit live in a
spacious. old-fashioned mansion. the
former home Of the late H NJ. Hutchin-
son. Of Alaska Fur Seal Company fame.
Their menage is arranged on an ele-
CANT and luxurious plan and their din
ners are perfectly appointed.
Mrs. Hit has the gift Of making
friends. and all the noted men who have
figured at the Capital in the last twenty
years have attached themselves to her
service. The late Speaker Reed was one
of her most devoted friends. and the late
William Walter Phelps made the Hit
home his headquarters when in Wash
ington. Mrs Hit has. indeed. been
an Egeria TO the noted politicians Of
her time. She is q woman with grown
sons. and. therefore. must be past middle
age. but her brilliant coloring. handsome
eyes. and girlish figure would place her
en- the sunny side Of thirty
Olmsteds Have Handsome Home.

ber Of Congress from Pennsylvania. and
has a handsome home In X Street. The
Olmsteds entertain generously. and are
among the most sought for people in So
ciety. Mrs. OImsted is stul In her twen-
ties. and takes an active interest in all
social matters.
Mrs. Swanson. whose husband was for
a long time one Of the youngest men in
the House, is also a popular woman. She
is blend. with delicate coloring. dresses
/ in excellent taste. and has the frank and
cordial manner for which Virginia women
are famous.
The Washington times., 1902-12-21

no one can question the elegance and
taste Of the interior. The drawing rooms
are handsome. the dining room is fur
nished appropriately. and the pictures
and bric-a-brac have been selected with
discrimination. General and Mrs. Corbin
have already begun to entertaio. and the
dinner given to celebrate the first ami
versary Of their marriage was one Of the
most successful that has taken place this
winter.
Mrs. Corbin. born Patten. is one
OF quintet Of sisters who were educated
abroad and who have lived in Washing
tor for the past twenty years. Mrs. Cor
bin was next to the youngest daughter Of
the house. and is filing the official posi-
tiOn to which she has been called cred
itably and acceDtabIy.
Miss COckrelPs Social Duties.
The home Of the senior Senator from
Missouri, who has been in public lie for
the past twenty-seven years. is presided
over BY his eldest daughter. Marion
Miss Cockrell was hardly more than a
child when her mothers death made IL
necessary fer her to take q prominent
place in society. yet she has fulfilled all
Of her duties with tact and aplomb.. Mss

father and has the ease and graciousness
that marks Southern women.
She presented her young sister Anna 10
society this winter, and viii from noQ on

rather onerous duties that fall to her
share
Mrs. Fairbanks has come into special
prominence as the president general of
the Daughters Of the American Revolu-
tiOn. In her Office as president She has
shown both business ability and tact. and
by her grace and cordiaHty Of manner in
her own home has added to her husbands
popularity.
The DePews Absent From Capital.
Although American born, Mrs. Depew
was foreign bred. She passed her girl
hood and early womanhood in Europe.
The wife Of the New York Senator took
up her official duties with some misgiv-
ings, but has succeeded most admirably
in the role. and is much sought after.
