SOCIETY IN WASHINGTON
BY CoNsTANC E cARRUTHERs

| a much grown-up young woman. They remember her as just having left the schoolroom and partaken of the joys oi
 a very few dances when she withdrew from them all Now she has seen the gayeties of France, Germany and England and has been presented at court in Eng land, and is far more the woman of the world than she was when she led the beautiful cotilion which her parents gave
 to make her debut in the beautiful ball
 room of their K street home. Miss
 Draper was the millionaire debutante in
 a season of buds of marvellous veal .h. The Washington home came into Miss Drapers possession in the large provision made for her in her fathers will. The presence of an attractive young girl, with a European education and cultivation and
 s6,00O,000 in her own right will give ar impetus to the social season of any city
 even in the metropolis. where millionaire debutantes are so numerous.
 The death of Mrs. Sibley, wife of Form
 CT Representative Joseph c. Sibley oi
 Pennsylvania, was a shock to her many l friends in Washington, for Mrs. Sibley had made many of them during her fus-
 bands term in the House of Representa- tives, and even after that, when they purchas sed a home in Massachusetts sv. enue and spent their winters here. There was no indication of failing health in
 Mrs. Sibley until the recent outcome oi Mir. Sbley's return to politics and enter ing the race for congressman from lis trict.
 Mrs II. Olin Young, wife of Repre- sentative Young of Michigan, uses psy- chology in entertaining her friends, and the result is that in these warm days her apartment in Washington is crowded
 Mrs Young has made her apartment as bright and airy possible by eliminat-
 ing during the heated spell such things as curtains cushioned chairs and heavy carpets. She has adorned her walls with
 pictures of Michigan in the rigors of win
 ter. Photographs showing snow and ice tobcgganing and snowshoe tramps are seen there. To add to the effect of cool ness, she has many pictures of the ice and snow of Switzerland and Norway The pictures attract the attention of the visitors. and Mrs Young( enthusiastic about her home, delights to tell of the winter sports and the beauty of her home Istate. When the thermometer, she re-
 lates, climbed to 100 degrees she always
 finds it absorbing to talk about the Ice and snow and sports of Michigan. Wis
 tors soon forget the heat, and have 2 firmly fixed conviction that Mrs. Young
 has the coolest and most com mfortable
 apartment in the national capital.
