 The most charming gossip reaches me from Washington of the Alabama contin- gent prominent in official life.
 Since the arrival of the Congressional ladies at the Riggs House there Is much of interest concerning their social plans. Colonel and Mrs. Bankhead and their fair young guest, Miss Alberta Fulghum of Birmingham: Congressman Richard son and three lovely and clever daugh- ters, the Misses Richardson of Hunts vile, and Mir Lucien Julien Walker form @ charming party at the Riggs House, and the young women are chape- roned everywhere by Mrs. Bankhead.
